  1. Given Lamb's heady back catalogue, some may dismiss this album as digestible trip-pop free of synthetic intricacies and sonic meanderings.... [But] it's the first to harness 100% of their talent as a band.

    They remain beautifully true to form. [Listen 2 This supplement, Feb 2004, p.16]

    Alternating from quietly meditative numbers to aggressive drum ‘n’ bass backdrops, Between Darkness And Wonder treads carefully between insight and superficiality, but ultimately ends up... closer to the former.

    Lamb offer the perfect antidote to all manner of vapid pop-cultural vomitus without sounding pretentious or preachy. [Dec 2003, p.118]
  5. Sometimes life-affirming, sometimes unsettling, but always a thing of great beauty.

    Previous albums threatened to impress but always came with bits missing. This is the finished article. [Dec 2003, p.130]

    Casts them as confident modern classicists. [Dec 2003, p.126]

    Excellent if somewhat inconsistent...moves further away from their 1st and 2nd albums, but the end result is still pretty awesome.
