3.0 out of 5 stars Copy-protected!! CD-ROM Trouble!!!!, December 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: White Lilies Island - Germany (Audio CD)

A likable and entertaining new album, full of nice songs. I am a big fan of Natalie.

But I had to bring the CD back, because I couldn't play the darn thing on my PC CD-ROM, which I use the most. Only my Home CD-Player would let me listen to the album. Very frustrating! Brought the CD back. Got my money back. Too bad.

So, when you want to listen to the album with a CD-ROM Drive, be prepared for possible problems. It only plays in a standard Music CD Player. And not even that is for sure.

I'll admit that I was one of Natalie's detractors when "Torn" was played into the ground a few years ago. I was about to write her off as a one-hit wonder but that all changed when I heard the first single off her new album "White Lilies Island", called "Wrong Impression". The song itself is even catchier than "Torn", a song I once loved but grew tired of. When I heard the entire album I was definitely a changed person. This album has definitely altered my perception and attitude towards Natalie. I absolutely adore this album. Every song on this album just impressed me so much that I have completely forgiven Natalie for "Torn". "Everything Goes" is a perhaps my favorite ballad on this album. It's quiet, subdued, and emotional. The opening riffs to "Hurricane" definitely has some Garbage influences in the first few seconds, as does the following track "Sunlight". Apparently Natalie has been listening to a lot of Garbage and maybe Joydrop with that same electronic/rock vibe."That Day" and "Beauty on Fire" is an excellent way to open up the album. There were even moments when Natalie's vocals sounded a bit like Ani Difranco. "Goodbye" is a stunning ballad that is just as good as "Everything Goes". None of the tracks on this album sounds anything like "Torn" which is a good thing. My only flaw with this album is that I can't play it on my computer at work which really annoys me to no ends of the earth (thank you very much RCA Records). Nevertheless I love this album. I'm not going to give it up just because I can't listen to it on my computer at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a surprise!, December 7, 2001

First of all, let me say, I never bought "Left of the Middle." "Torn" was a great song, I enjoyed "Smoke" while overseas. But the rest just seemed like Alanis-wannabe material. Despite her amazing looks, I thought we would never hear from her again.

My impression of her changed with this album. I heard this CD from a friend and had to buy it. With the quirky opening "That Day," to the Madonna-esque "Beauty on The Fire," Nats gets off to a great start. But it doesn't stop there. "Satellite" is a cheery, catchy tune that leaves you wanting more from the newly-proclaimed "Dido from Down Under." Other great tunes are "Everything Goes" and Butterflies." I would have to say the song that makes this album is "Wrong Impression." This tune picks up where "Torn" left off and has single written all over it. Hopefully she won't make the same mistake she did in the UK, and release "That Day" first. A great song but not radio-friendly. The only downside of this album is "Do You Love," which sounds like a leftover 80's hair ballad. I always skip it.

Buy this CD! Either now on import, or wait until the 2002 release. It is well worth it!
