Writing that Lamb had returned from their hiatus as "a different animal", The Daily Telegraph 's James Lachno observed that "the industrial electronic beats of old are stripped back" and that lead singer Lou Rhodes's "forlorn, breathy purr" is given greater emphasis on 5, whose sound Lachno described as "a more folk-influenced take on Portishead's down-tempo elegance." [5] In Mixmag , Stephen Worthy praised 5 as Lamb's best album since their 1996 self-titled debut, finding that "as ever, Rhodes' voice, folky, soaring and sweet, acts as a magical counterpoint" to producer Andy Barlow's "intense, emotional digital soundbed." [6] Peter Kane of Q commented that 5 juxtaposes "Barlow's imaginative programming and Rhodes's existential angst ... to particularly powerful effect". [8]
The Independent , however, said that little had changed since Lamb's split, with the band still sounding "middle-class" and unthreatening, although Rhodes's voice was sounding more like that of Stevie Nicks. [10]
