    The most painful voice in recent memory award goes to, Miss Rhodes. The beats sound interesting in places, but are drowned out by the wailing of the 'singer'. What makes this album even worse is that I lost money by purchasing it. I should have downloaded it before buying.

    I don't understand the glowing reviews for this record. As one reviewer has said of their later work, 'all of the edges have been rounded off'. This isn't a patch on their debut.

    If there were any doubters about Lamb being the brightest, most talented singer/producer combo in electronica, What Sound is all the argument needed to the contrary.

    Little new or exciting is added to the mix that can’t be found in different forms on their previous two albums. Instead, the album works as a consolidation of strengths from earlier works.

    'What Sound' could easily place Lamb alongside Dido and Zero 7 on this year's coffee tables, but also sets them apart as a unique, ever challenging outfit who'll be worth following long after we've come out of corporate chillout coma.
