To be elegible for this price, Add to CartTigerlily established that Natalie Merchant could survive outside of 10,000 Maniacs, both commercially and artistically. Its follow-up album, Ophelia, is a bit more problematic. Initially, the album appears to be conceptual, tracing the Ophelia character through modern times.
That concept quickly falls away, leaving studied, if somewhat elliptical, lyrical portraits. Like Tigerlily, the songs on Ophelia have hushed, layered arrangements that are outgrowths, not replicas, of 10,000's jangly folk-rock. However, Ophelia lacks the subtle sonic textures and graceful hooks that made Merchant's debut so charming.
Instead, all of the subdued songs - of which only 'Kind & Generous' has a clear-cut, singalong hook - blend together, which makes the album decidedly less accessible. Unfortunately, it doesn't always reward the close listening it demands. A few songs reveal hidden layers and meanings upon repeated listens, but on the whole Ophelia sounds too insular and similar to make a large impression.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo.

Motherland is the third solo album by Natalie Merchant, released in 2001. It was her last studio album released on Elektra Records.The album is musically eclectic, varying from Middle Eastern violin–reggae beat fusion 'This House Is on Fire' to 10,000 Maniacs-sounding 'Tell Yourself'. Folky 'Motherland' precedes stylistically Merchant's next album, The House Carpenter's Daughter.Originally, 'The End' was supposed to appear on the album instead of 'Not In This Life.' Merchant noted that:I'd take out one song, 'Not in This Life,' she said, referring to a midtempo meditation on love, because it seems frivolous to me now.
And I'd put back a song called 'The End,' which probably would have gotten me in trouble. Part of the lyric goes: 'That'll be the end of war/ the end of the law of Bible, of Koran, Torah.' I really wanted to put it on the record, but I felt there was so much serious material already that I chose something lighter, for balance.The album is dedicated to the victims of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks upon the United States.
However, the recording was finished two days before the event, so the songs are not influenced by it.Description provided by under.
