Life Thru a Lens, jeden z najlepších debutov v Spojenom kráľovstve 90. rokov, je neobmedzená jazda naprieč všetkými druhmi britskej hudby, od glam po alternatívu, soft-rock až po dance-pop. Počnúc radostnou „Lazy Days“ album neustále prezrádza zjavné vplyvy od Oasis a iných britských hviezd, no napriek tomu triumfuje vďaka nádhernej produkcii, Williamsovej neodolateľnej osobnosti a celkovej chuti poburujúcej, úplne príjemnej pop music. Či už sa prediera agresívnymi vypalovačkami ako „Ego A Go Go“ a „South of the Border“, spieva v balade „Angels“ alebo ponúka kúsok života – v štýle robotníckej triedy – v titulnej skladbe a „Lazy“ Days,“ Williams je popová hviezda skrz naskrz. Pre tých, ktorí oceňujú skvelý pop s množstvom štipľavosti, je Life Thru a Lens vynikajúci album. Tracklist: Disc 1: 01. Lazy Days 02. Life Thru A Lens 03. Ego Agogo 04. Angels 05.
