Come to Life shows the diversity of Natalie and her versatile performances, having seen her life you can't fail to be impressed. Natalie comprises beauty and real talent and deserves a lot more credit and popularity than she receives, perhaps thats why her fans are so dedicated; because she's great!
Scars is my favourite track, showing similarities to previous releases and being the best potential single along with Lukas which is unique. Its dissappointing the number of tracks wasn't greater, Apologise would have been a great addition or a self titled track related to the album. BUT Natalies fab and I Come To Life whenever I hear her!

Having read some of the reviews on this site, I was a little apprehensive about receiving this CD. I ordered it from Amazon US on the strength of the new material on 'Glorious' and didn't want to wait until February for it to be released in the UK.
I'd previously downloaded the track 'Want', which took a bit of getting used to (not a good sign when some of the lyrics were pinched from 'Be With You', my favourite of the new tracks on the previous release).
Things didn't start well. The first track was appropriately titled, as I took an instant dislike to 'Oh God' but things improved massively with 'Lukas' (my favourite track). As I seem to recall a previous reviewer saying, 'Fun' has quite a Christmasy feel to it. 'Twenty' and 'Scars' are also really good and I liked all of the other tracks, through to the bouncy closer 'Wild About It'.
After a few listens I was singing along and even the opener had grown on me. In fact, I like the album so much I've since ordered the Japanese release, which has a bonus track on it.
My one gripe about the album itself is that it only has 10 tracks, which is bad value (particularly having paid more to import it).
I was disapponted to read that the album only sold 740 copies in it's first week of release in Australia. I can only assume the record company there did nothing to promote it.
Also, what is going on in the UK? Why the wait until February, almost 5 months after it's release elsewhere? Strange when you thing that this must be one of her biggest markets.
If you like Natalie's previous work, then I fail to see how you can't like 'Come To Life'. Yes, it's different to what she has done before but wouldn't it be boring if every release from an artist sounded exactly the same?... Read more ›

Love Natalie, love the CD. It's a shame the music industry bases everything on sales, not talent. It's a great CD.

Listen to the cd last night and the certain thing you will notice when taken a serious listen is how natalie is very much on the road to "Coldplay" land, she never really gets there but is travelling down a road to find it,some songs are poppy but never as strong pop-dance as the single/song "want",others sound very much almost like a return of old for natalie with elements of acoustic guitars surrounded with electronica and drums,very "coldplay-ish/A.C another thought you might notice there is no clear "HIT" as songs are more the type you must play several times to get a feel for,strongest songs i would say are
"Want"...(Mainstream Pop)
"Lukas"(Ballad)....
"Wild About It"...
"All The Roses"(Ballad)...
but please do not expect to hear an album filled to the brim with that of the first single because you will not find it here

Brilliant new album and long awaited return from Nat!,love every track on this cd and i can't understand why this album as had so much negative feedback from her fans,ok it is quite different from previous work with alot more electro backing music which one track sounds very like a intro from a song from that other brilliant australian pop princess Kylie on her last album X albeit Nat's style of music is totally different!,this is a good change in the right direction and i am so surprised it as not had a release in the UK or many other major world markets yet strangely,i can only guess because of relatively poor sales how sad.

A very polished / slick album that sounds really good on my iPod (sat by the pool on holiday). A much more delicate affair compared to previous albums but it really works.

despite all the negative reviews here i think this album is one of the best natalie has ever made. of course, left of the middle stands alone,because of the blockbuster-hit "torn".
but there are some very good, soulful and good written songs on it: Lukas (l love it), Fun, Scars, My god. and there are some electronic songs which show that Nat is very versatile like wyut and cameo.
maybe this album is too good for today's mainstream pop-biz?

Gone but not forgotten
Firstly, after hearing the Japanese bonus track 'Flirting' I'm quite surprised this song was not included on the standard album - it's fantastic. Read more

Come to Life
A good album, with a little help from Coldplay on the writing front, although my favourite track 'My God' was co-written by Imbruglia. Read more

Not bad, but not her best.
Some good stuff on here; but not as strong overall as White Lilies Island or Counting Down The Days.

Come to Life
I ordered this on 23/11/09 with a 7 to 10 day delivery. I still have not received this despite chasing twice (no response) - not sure what I should do next.
