    Considering Lily's second album takes a turn for the worse as far as hard music fans are concerned. While their first album was a mix of pop and rock with promising glimpses of hardness, personnel changes have sent the group in a softer direction. Jeanette Herdman now joins Pearl Barrett on lead vocals, and despite some song writing by husband Bob Herdman (Audio Adrenaline), bass by Will McGinniss (Audio A) and production by Barry Blair (formerly of Audio A), the band does not move in the direction of harder music like Audio A. Considering Lily is now an entirely pop outfit (most likely found in the contemporary/inspirational section of your Christian music store). "We want to utilize components that would create more of a pop sound, more drum-loops and keyboard programming," says Jeanette. It's well done - a good album if you like modern pop.
