Better Can't Make Your Life Better is the fourth studio album by the American indie rock band Lilys, released in 1996.

[2] Battles with the label over finance led to several compromises; Lilys leader Kurt Heasley had originally planned the album to sound "like Badfinger backed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra", and a big band had been planned but was replaced by xylophone and trumpet players, with samples of clarinet and bassoon added later, and by the end of the recordings Heasley claimed to have been a nervous wreck and 50 pounds underweight from eating only garlic.

[5] Jason Ankeny, writing for AllMusic, described the album's sound as "the Lilys hop into the time machine and travel back to the mid-'60s, immersing themselves in the style of the British Invasion.

"[3] Neil Gladstone, writing for CMJ New Music Monthly, identified the Kinks, the Monkees and the Zombies as influences on the album.

[2] Robert Hickey, writing for PopMatters, called it "a great CD, sounding like something the Kinks would have made had Ray Davies embraced psychedelia instead of taking up charter membership in the Village Green Preservation Society.
