Everything's Different Now


Everything's Different Now is the third and final studio album by the American band 'Til Tuesday, released in 1988.

Production

The album was produced primarily by Rhett Davies. "'J' for Jules" is about Mann's ex-boyfriend Jules Shear. "The Other End (Of the Telescope)" was cowritten by Elvis Costello.

Critical reception

The Boston Globe called Everything's Different Now "the most confessional album since Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love." USA Today deemed it "a touching meditation on the ebb and flow of love." The Chicago Tribune labeled it a "little masterpiece of melancholy." The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mann never comes off as a bitter whiner... What comes through in these gentle but not too genteel pop songs is a profound sense of, above all, disappointment."
