Amazon.co.uk Review
When ILife Thru A Lens/I came out, Robbie Williams was a swiftly-failing music industry joke--"Blobbie Pill-iams", the ballooning drug-freak, drunk and bleary-eyed at far too many parties for his own good. Although his cover of George Micheal's "Freedom" had gone in at Number 2, "Old Before I Die" and "South Of The Border" sounded too like weak-tea Oasis for any real chart action and people were starting to talk about him as a failure. Then the elegiac "Angels" with its simple black-and-white video hit MTV pay-dirt, and six months later Williams was picking up six BRIT Awards, showing off his post-rehab six-pack and dating an All Saint. And so the rest of ILife Thru A Lens/I is a likeable, hyperactive stream of consciousness--much like Williams himself. "Lazy Days" is an unexpectedly gorgeous psychedelic swoon, and "Let Me Entertain You"--"When I'm Cleaning Windows" for the Hooch generation--is still an irresistible offer. --ICaitlin Moran/I

 Most Pray for a debut album this good January 26, 2000
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
Being from the states I am a relative nubbie to the whole Robbie Williams craze. Although I remember the song Back for Good, I didn't remember Take That, let alone the fact that Robbie was in the group. Imagine my surprise, after I became a fan of RW's music. The Ego Has Landed is the first album I've bought in 6 yrs to inspire me get my hands on all the artist had to offer and a far cry from his boyband background. I chose Life Thru a Lens first, because I found out it was his debut solo album. And what an album! The song writing and melodies show a maturity that most artist don't accomplish until their sophomore album...if they're lucky. But the brilliant dichotomy of this work of art is the fact that the subject matter and angst in his voice, in his songs, reveal the growing pains of a person in the transition from from boy to man and all the normal turmoil that goes with it - the lost of a first love, difficult decisions, and completed by an ode to ones mother - as well as songs that divulge the underbelly of being an established star by the time you're 18. This is what pop should be.
Robbie's best album January 5, 2002
13 out of 17 found this review helpful
Few took him seriously when he released this, they should have done because everything is right about it.brGreat rock tunes on it aswell as the spine chilling classic Angels - lets face it, everybody knows it.brThe climax's to the songs are one the album's best points, of course there is Angels, but then the fabulous 'Killing Me' sends shivers down your spine, and the acoustic 'One Of God's Better People' has something in it that you are just able to relate to somebody in your life.pI only hope that Robbie will be given the credibility he deserves throughout his career and in the many years after, his voice and songs are amazing

This was Robbies first big album and underlined his undoubted musical talent.Each song is uniquely different from the next,unlike the repetitive music that many artists turn out.To enhance his talents even more,he throws in a poem dedicated to his old teacher,who said Robbie would never amount to anything.How wrong he was.Simply a great album.
Robbie is just pure class. December 4, 1999

This album is fantastic from start to finish. Each song has real feeling and meaning. The best track by far is One of God's better people, pure class. If your a fan of Robbie's you'll know what I mean. If your not a fan then buy the album and you soon will be. PURE GENIUS!!
