Everything Wrong Is Imaginary is a 2006 album by Lilys, released on the Manifesto label.
The album was written during a traumatic period in Lilys frontman Kurt Heasley's life; His partner disappeared after a psychotic episode and returned to her family leaving Heasley to look after his three children. Heasley therefore worked on the album mainly at home in his spare time. [2] [1] The recordings were then sent to producer Michael Musmanno, who finished the tracks with session musicians. [2]

Jason MacNeil of PopMatters described the album as (along with previous album Precollection), "the closest thing to Britrock from a Yankee band I heard in a long time", going on to say "There are too many things right about this album to make you believe it's imaginary". [1] Patrick Rapa of the Philadelphia City Paper described it as "one of Heasley's finest yet—10 occasionally noisy, often catchy rock songs". [7] Marc Hogan of Pitchfork Media opined that "much of the record's beauty lies [in] its dizzying production", but wrote that it "never quite feels like the career-culminating record it should be." [4] Mark Edwards of the Sunday Times identified the album's diversity as one of its strengths. [5] Eugene P. Sorricraft from the Highbold Press declared it, "a wonderful expulsion of everything that is otherwise lacking in this sad world". [8][ citation needed]
