Better Can't Make Your Life Better
(Advance cassette, Che/Sire, Pop/rock)
from the BabySue website

GODDAMN HELL! The new CD from Lilys is so good that it merits a "7"...a rating NEVER BEFORE USED in babysueland. This new rating is well-deserved, because this CD will most certainly end up being one of the BEST RELEASES OF 1996. The continually evolving project of a fellow named Kurt Heasley, Lilys is a band that is hard to figure out or get used to. Whereas the band's last CD was so obtuse and weird that it took several hundred listenings to get a grasp on (it was one of my top favorite CDs of 1994), this release is much more straightforward and direct. Geez, there might even be a RADIO HIT on this one (?!?). Mr. Heasley has an uncanny knack for writing some of the most incredible melodies I've ever heard, and his voice is PERFECT. Hazy, fuzzy, pop rock tunes that are as catchy and easy to listen to as they are perplexing...this is the kind of thing that I'll be able to listen to for many years without tiring of it. In actuality, everything that Lilys have put out is outstanding and incredible. This is an ABSOLUTE MUST for all fans of pure pop. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
