Album Review
Once the most intriguing act fusing electronica with singer/songwriter pop, Lamb unfortunately impress much less on their fourth album than they did in the past. While Louise Rhodes' vocals still lie on the acceptable side of eccentric, Andy Barlow's productions have been defanged; no longer surprising and innovative, they exist as merely proper frameworks for the songs. The long roster here of Pro Tools engineers and studio players makes much of the difference, adding a next-generation sound to the work but eliminating the freshness Lamb productions used to possess. A pair of introspective, experimental pieces ("Darkness," "Stronger") make for a brilliant beginning, but the rest of the record includes a few tender acoustic ballads ("Angelica" is the best) that barely profit from the programmed percussion, and a compelling but nearly meaningless update of Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune." Between Darkness and Wonder is hardly a tragedy in Lamb's discography, but the duo's longtime ability to sacrifice neither pop smarts nor production bite was a hallmark that no other act could lay claim to.
Customer Reviews
Whoever wrote this review should be fired! Wonderful Album
I started listening to Lamb when I was in Korea in 1997. This album is not bad at all its actually really good. Lamb may take a bit to grow on ya, but once it does you'll be happy it did.
Great Album - Definitely not as bad as iTunes would have you think
This album, while not Lamb's best, is still a five-star album. The production is flawless. The album may be more pop-oriented than their others, but that doesn't mean they're suddenly horrible - just different. I don't get the iTunes review. At one moment, they say Angelica is the best ballad on the album, and then turn around and call it a meaningless Clair de lune cover the next. The only thing that bothers me about Lamb is that the vocalist, from the first album to the second, apparently lost the ability to sing. The vocals went from fine to whiny and amateur. However, this point adds another positive to this album in that the vocals are much improved on Between Darkness and Wonder. This album has something for everyone - ambient soundscapes, grooves, captivating melodies, and great production. Give it a listen.
Oh, come on, it's not that bad
The official review does not give this album justice, in fact probably killed any sales. This is my 3rd Lamb album and it is by far the most listenable from start to finish. In fact, it is one of my favorite finds in the last year. Yes, it is not instantly 'catchy' and wont make you get up and 'boogie', but it grows on you after each play. It is very delicate and well conceived and worth $10. This is not a band to cherry pick the 'hits' so get the entire disk and give it some time.
