    Lillix: A Legend in the making

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 11, 2003 | 3 out of 3 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    One day I got this e-mail about this new band from Canada called Lillix and at first I didn't pay any attention. Finally one day I listened to "It's About Time" and I thought it was a catchy, upbeat song. It was enough to get me hoo...ked. I bought the album the day it came out and it hasn't left my CD player yet. Falling Uphill is probably the best debut album from any band or artist in a long time. Tasha-Ray Evans is only 17 years old but she plays the guitar like a pro. I believe she is well on her way to being one of the best female guitar players out there. Lacey-Lee Evans is Tasha's older sister (Lacey is 19) and she plays the keyboards. Louise Burns is the 17 year old bass player and she is one of the best bass players I have heard in a while. Kim Urhahn is the 23 year old drummer and she is absolutely awesome behind the skins.A lot of people like to compare Lillix to Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch but I don't think that's a fair comparison. They do have certain similairities to these and other artists but these girls are unique. The lead vocals are shared between Lacey-Lee, Tasha-Ray, and Louise and this shared vocal arrangement works amazingly well. There isn't that many albums out there that I can say I love every song on the album but Falling Uphill is one of those albums that doesn't have a bad song on the album. Every song is absolutely awesome. The girls also write almost every song on the album by themselves. They had help from The Matrix and Linda Perry on a couple songs and they did an incredible cover of "What I Like About You" that rivals the original version by The Romantics. These girls rock, they are extremely talented, and I believe they have a very bright long future in music. I highly recommend everyone buy this album and show support for this talented band that is bringing rock n roll back into the main stream! Read more Less

    Uninspired and Unoriginal

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 28, 2003 | 6 out of 10 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    With tracks slicked over by The Matrix production/writing group and the full support of MTV, Lillix would seem poised for success in todays market. Unfortunately, beyond the glitzy wrapping paper of this package is minimal substance and a yawner of a... debut which does little to dispel the stereotype that its all about pretty faces and not about talent in music.Rock and roll has always been a partyers crowd that heralds sex and drugs, so when it comes to rocking out 4 gorgeous Canadian teens are short on credibility and it becomes painfully obvious in their music. The guitars are stunted and restrained, the drums too clean, the voices too perky. The band tries to differentiate itself from the rest of the teen crowd with power chords and recognizable riffs, but ultimately dont stray very far and become derivative and forgettable. Listeners who enjoy young girl pop-rock would be better served listening to The Donnas or the harder cuts from Avril Lavignes Let Go album, which are no more unique but at least more strongly produced aggressive.Keeping more than one voice in the melodic forefront of any music is always challenging, and Lillix falls into the trap of relying on and recycling the same underdeveloped harmonies to carry them through chorus after chorus. There is an obvious abundance of vocal talent here amongst the girls, but also an absence of real passion or identity in their singing. The shallow depth of their all too common teen-oriented lyrics, excepting those of the touching Quicksand, or Promises, does little to attract an audience beyond the MTV Total Request Live crowd.If flavor of the week teen music is your thing, Lillix may keep you happy for a month of so. If you are expecting profound lyrics or agressive rock or some modicum of originality, youd best look elsewhere. Read more Less

    speechless...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 14, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    i dont know where to begin, this cd is awesome!!!! i have to admit i was a little skeptical in the beginning about purchasing their cd b/c i thought they were another typical manufactured girl group, boy was i wrong...these girls write their own mus...ic and rock at it too...in each of the songs on the album you are guarunteed to find meaning and truth...no joke...they even play their own instruments(something which few artists are seen to be doing these days)...i have to say, i bought this cd the day it came out and every day since then i haven't been able to put it down...usually, i get tired of a cd after a couple of dayz but if you get this one, it wont stop playing for a long time...so in all, this is a MUST BUY album...ive talked to plentiful people who have purchased it about their favorite songs and each has a different, they are all great, mine change daily...but as of today, im hooked on "because" an upbeat song about guyz being clueless, "promises" a slow-tempo song with a heartload of emotions, and "dirty sunshine" one of those songs where you are just pissed off at the world and want everyone to leave you alone, but then again, i really do love all of the songs!!!!...so to end my 'essay'...lol...I just want to get the point out that this cd ROCKS and you should not pass up on the opportunity to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!LILLIX ROX!!!!(weex rox, tasha-ray rox, lacey-lee rox, kim rox!)     Read more Less

    Lillix rocks!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 2, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    The girls of Lillix prove their vocal and instrumental talent with their debut CD Falling Uphill. This is the best girl band Ive heard in a long time. They are strong and their voices are in perfect harmony with each other. Singers Tasha-Ray, Lacey-L...ee and Louise all bring different elements of sound to the table, and drummer Kim brings their music all together.I am so happy with this CD. My favorite song is Sick. It has a fast beat and is a perfect example of how the girls voices harmonize with each other. I can relate to all of the lyrics. The song 24/7 describes a girl waiting for her guy, and how it feels like she is waiting forever. Who hasnt been there, right? Quicksand is empowering and uplifting, with lyrics like I can reach the sky without being dragged down. I cant forget Its About Time, the girls single debut that everyone loves - its been on MTVs show TRL for over a month now!I recommend this CD to everyone! The girls rock out with their guitars and drums, and their voices are incredible! LILLIX ROCKS!! Read more Less

    Lillix is "Falling Uphill" with Their Debut

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 14, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    Now that I think about it, "Falling Uphill" is the best title they could have for their CD, because as far as I see, Lillix is only MOVING UP! They have the hottest music, the hottest voices, and they are very original! Though many people t...ry to compare Lillix to the Avril Lavigne's and Michelle Branch's of today, Lillix has their own original style. I definitely plan on hearing and buying more from Lillix! You should too! Read more Less
