With his pants chains, multi coloured hair, eyeliner and facial rings, former talent quest sensation Lee Harding presents as some sort of Punk with a Marylin Manson fetish.

Makes for an intersting debut album,right? Well, no. Whats wrong with this picture?is a sleek and Souless CD, written, performed and produced by others. Hardings contribution seems limited to mimicking the nasal whine of his Californian pop-punk hero's. In short: Contractural obligation, no more, no less.

2/5 stars ( Don't bring me down)

Whats Wrong With This Picture? To answer the title: Nothing, if your ten years old. For the rest of us the debut album by the Australian Idol graduate is a lightweight collection of breezy pop-punk compositions knocked up in various song factories.
The pitch correction software gest a sturdy workout, but it can't mask the relentlessly American tone of the material, with lyrical references to "Candy in the Mail".

5/10

I always thought that his voice would let him down.
He is great live when you can jump about and not really listen, but when he has to rely on just his voice he is going to cop it every time.

Harsh report on the album, but I agree his singing was never his strong point it was his performance.

Have to agree with you.
I dont think I could listen to his album or go to see him perform live I have always prefered artists who are more voccally driven.
