Left of the Middle Reviews:
Lovely 
2008-12-17 - After first hearing "Torn" on the radio, and then coming to Amazon to 'sample' the rest of the songs - I decided it was a CD to buy. I usually buy the whole CD - and to date have never downloaded a song.
With many CD's I wish I had just downloaded a few songs - but not with this one. A high percentage of the songs are very good.
Natalie has a good mix of rhythm and style. Her voice portrays emotion well, and I like how it sounds. No point arguing the case for any musician on how they rank against each other - everyone's taste varies.
You can listen to it at low volume and enjoy it - or pump it up and feel her soul coming through.
And when you listen to "Torn" - hold the cover in your hand and look at her eyes.
Oh... and when you buy it - get "White Lilies Island" too. Well worth it. However - I wasn't impressed enough with "Counting Down the Days" to buy it yet. Need a chance to listen to it.
One to listen to over and over again 
2007-05-30 - Recomended 100%!!!
Bought this in cassette form when it was recently released - now have it on cd and on my compter to listen to at all times. A pop style mix, this is the type of music you want to listen to when you are in almost any mood! "Torn" is perfect for breakups, "smoke" for relaxing, etc. You just can`t help but memorize the lyrics and sing along out loud!
One of the very few cd`s I have been holding onto and listening to over and over again for years...!!! (another great cd is milla jovovich`s "the divine comedy")
Wishing I Was There... 
2006-07-27 - "I want you to love me
but you don't want to love me
I'm losing patience now
Oh leave me alone
Stop asking for more"
~Leave Me Alone
"Torn" is the song you hear on the radio constantly and is only a brief introduction to the musical talents of Natalie Imbruglia. In fact, her White Lilies Island album songs should be on the radio more. The rest of her songs seem much more edgy and beautiful than the hit playing daily.
Leave Me Alone has interesting nostalgic and electronic moments. It seems to skip through time periods and countries. Wishing I Was There moves from sweet and sensual to sexy and sometimes mischievous and then cold and independent. All her emotions are on display.
Natalie Imbruglia's music seems like the music
you listen to when you want to be alone and dip into
contemplation.
"Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair."

DEFINITELY WORTH BUYING......... 
2000-01-22 - This CD is AMAZING , from the words to the musics diversity, this CD is sure to win over many fans. Whatever you do, don't skip the best songs (IMHO), they are as follows (in order of favorite), 1.Smoke 2.Diving in the deep end 3. City (live version) & 4. Leave me alone. Go out and buy this great CD, you WONT be dissapointed.
Natalie is my idol, I hope she will produce more cd's soon. 
1999-07-25 - I have the CD and i would like to say that all her songs are realistic. As if based on life itself.
