Free Music Notes for Fear of Fours
Free Music Review: Blissfully Scenic
Hit: 5 Stars
I suppose I'd consider myself a big trip-hopper. I've got Hoverphonic, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Portishead, etc. (to name the more popular ones.)And I search Amazon a lot, yet this is the FIRST CD that I truly feel compelled to write a review about. I really really enjoyed Lamb's first CD, mostly because it took deep patience to listen a few times and then I was suddenly struck with the brilliance. The songs seemed to be layered- with only the vocals to unify the chaos. I like "Fear of Fours" even more, and this really surprised me. (Ya know, all that junk about Sophomore attempts and what-not.) Yet this CD is "better" in a sense. It is less chaotic. Not that the intense vocals and background aren't there, it is there but this CD feels more enchanting. It is more up-beat it feels more jungle than trip-hop. (AND I really hate labels..) I think this CD is "Scenic" because when I listen I can feel the music and hear her lyrics (which are rather good, and this fact throws the CD from a mere 4.5 to the 5 stars) but I can "see" the music too. It's as if all of my senses are being bombarded. I wouldn't say that this was any easier to listen to. Similar to their first, I listened a bit distracted. And by the second time through, I heard the talent but wasn't quite sure if it was "A" material. (I grade my CDs, and I'm a pretty tough grader.) Well, several listens later, I assure you, it's an "A". This is not like Portishead. I understand how the comparisons come about, and I really have to disagree. "Portishead on acid" or something seems to be what everyone wants to get at. Lamb is truly original, on their own. Let's reverse it, can Portishead get Lamb comparisons? That seems unfair, and it's unfair because it is simply untrue. Melt with this CD, there is enough intoxicating depth and sultry moods to last several spins later....
Fear of Fours Poster
Japanese edition of the Brit hop duo's 1999 & second album with three bonus tracks added, 'B Line' (Lamb Lounge Mix), 'Gorecki' (Global Communications Mix) and one hidden track that's listed only in Japanese (track #4). 16 tracks total. 1999 release.Three years elapsed between the U.K. 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
