    In the end, Electronic Earth comes off more as a greatest hits collection than an album proper but that's no bad thing.

    This debut from Tinie Tempah producer Labrinth sits comfortably in the Kanye West school of autotuned mid-youth crisis, yet this album isn't without merit.

    Labrinth avoids the most obvious pitfall--he can actually sing--but writing words seems to flummox him.

    Ultimately, however, despite the fizzing electronic undercarriage applied to most tracks on Electronic Earth, Labrinth's real forte may turn out to be the more traditional, earthbound musical skills.

  1. Despite some filler content, the album was a blast with some exciting tracks and long-term effectiveness. Hope album 2 is as good if not better. Honestly this guy is severely underrated. Expand
  2. I have listened to this album time and time again, it's great. There's a wide, diverse range of songs. Labrinth displays his talent at various things; producing, singing, playing the guitar and even the piano, it's nice to see a relevant and popular mainstream artist with actual talent. The stand out song was definitely 'Climb on Board'. Expand
  3. Labrinth on the "Electronic Earth" - which it is his debut album - certainly wanted to surprise the audience with diversity. And what is true - through songs such as "Earthquake", "Let The Sun Shine" or the slightly better "Last Time" can be seen artist's inspirationof dubstep, D'n'B or synth pop - but nevertheless it often seems that the only what saves most of the tracks is R&B vocal.
