    It's almost the male equivalent of Jessie J's equally disappointing 'Who You Are'. It sounds rushed, generic and anonymous. His voice is average at best and his lyrics are clunky throughout. The production (however non-electronic (Earth) it might be) on certain tracks saves it from being a total disaster.

    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.

    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'.

    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.

    Labrinth may work wonders in the background, but he's far too anonymous on Electronic Earth to mark his card as much of a solo star.

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

    Singing, producing and performing his own material, Labrinth has high ambitions but falls disappointingly short.
