Details: Amazon.ca Three years elapsed between the release of Lamb's highly acclaimed debut and this CD, making fans of their moody trip-hop impatient. Does Fear of Fours deliver? Yes, but like many sophomore efforts, this one can't help but fall short of expectations. There is more of Lamb's full, emotional sound here, but while songs off the debut such as "Gorecki" and "Cottonwool" were beyond epic, most of the tracks on Fear of Fours merely get the job done. Where Louise Rhodes's vocals were near operatic, they are now more spoken wordish. And rather than complementing the lush orchestral instrumentation of partner Andy Barlow, the two more often collide. But there is beauty in chaos and nobody knows that better than Lamb. When Fear of Fours shines, it really shines. Take the drum & bass-influenced beat frenzy on "Ear Parcel" and the uplifting aria, "Fly". These alone are a testament to why so many fell for this Manchester duo in the first place. --Courtney Reimer Product Description Fear of Fours, the sophomore effort from the English duo Lamb, once again mixes Andrew Barlow's drum & bass sounds with the beautiful, sultry, smoky vocals of Louise Rhodes. Fear of Fours is an amazing follow up to Lamb's self-titled critically acclaimed 1997 debut and is further supported by videos for the tracks "B Line" and "Softly."
