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.
-
Smart, unpretentious, and classy all the way through.
-
UrbIt's less angular than Fear of Fours but just as convincing--tiny music that thinks very, very big. [Jul 2003, p.93]
-
Lamb's most rounded and complete collection yet.... Even if they've lost something special in the process.
-
'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.
-
Little new or exciting is added to the mix that cant be found in different forms on their previous two albums. Instead, the album works as a consolidation of strengths from earlier works.
-
Lamb have finally perfected the trip hop/classical fusion they discovered on their career-high Gorecki, though the beatific sumptuousness of their sound can be overwhelming.
