This is Letters to Cleo's first album, released in 1993. It was re-released by a different label in 1994, and that's the version I have. I'm reviewing it in 2024. The liner notes contain song lyrics, in a funky font.

1. "Big Star"

2. "I See"

3. "Rim Shak"

4. "Wasted"

5. "Get On With It"

6. "Here & Now": I believe this is the band's biggest hit, and the only song on this album that I find memorable. But I like it a lot, and it raises my rating for the album overall (though the album's rating is still lower than my rating of just this song would be.)

7. "From Under the Dust"

8. "Mellie's Comin' Over"

9. "Come Around"

10. "Step Back"

Well, I've always really liked Kay Hanley's voice. And all these songs make for perfectly good background noise, especially if you're in a '90s state of mind.
