Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The sophomore slump is tough for any artist, but it's got to be daunting when your worldwide smash debut four years ago (1998's Left of the Middle) dominated the charts based on someone else's song (Ednaswap's "Torn"). For her second album, pop singer Natalie Imbruglia allies herself with big-name producers/collaborators but takes a slower, moodier direction. While the singer/songwriter has maintained the key elements of her first album--a mixture of pop rock, acoustic and electronic embellishments, and gritty guitars--there's a greater sense of emotional turbulence here. The best moments on this effort are the edgier ones: the anxious opener, "That Day," with its nervous guitar and tumbling lyrics; the yearning space-pop of "Sunlight"; and the sparkling electro-acoustic rock of "Wrong Impression." Not all the tracks are keepers, but there is an appealing honesty and understated quality to White Lilies Island that makes it sound refreshing. After all, sadness can be catchy too. --Bryan Reesman

Rating: - Fantastic record!
Not your typical Top 40 album, lyrically these songs reach into your soul, and melodically it soars and leaves you exhausted... and wanting more! One of my favorite albums to come out early 2k. I misplaced it and had to repurchase it again recently. Upon a fresh listen several years from my first, I fell in love again with this project. Polished singer/ songwriter record. Big thumbs up!

Rating: - One of the great female albums
Superb range and beauty to the music. Natalie puts so much into this album. Lyrics are exquisite. Overflows with creativity and heart. A work of art.

Rating: - Very good album!
This is definately Natalie Imbruglia folks, but something was missing a little from this album versus the first. It's still a good album...Good lyrics, good vocals, good music, but it doesn't impress me as me. Still it's worth checking out!

Rating: - Taken with me around the world!
I travel the world a lot and only so many songs can fit on my MP3 player. One thing is for sure, this album is always included! Natalie has an absolutely marvelous voice. Too much of the stuff produced these days is all makeup and no talent. She is definitely ahead of the curve. I've heard all of her albums to-date, and I think this one is the best of them all. If you're used to listening to her first album "Left of the Middle", then you're definitely in for something different. Here she completely ... Read More

Rating: - Hands down her best album!!
Song writers do their best work when something dramatic occurs in their lives. Natalie is fabulous, her voice enchanting, and her lyrics ranging from inspirational to haunting at times! Put it in and don't skip! Let the words and music engage you... I replayed this entire CD for 6 months before I ever put in another one. I simply love her!!
