Beautiful Burnout (which used to be called Biro the Leggy) is pretty dark and awesome. it was really dark live, in a good way.
heard Family guy had already used a track in their Star Wars special for the Deal or No Deal gag. how that happened i don't know.

oh really about the Family Guy, ill ahve to watch it again.
The review in spin said it wasnt as dancey as thier past stuff but more melodic and atmospherical.

i like the album, but Ring Road is awful... i really really don't like that song... rest is well cool... Beautiful Burnout definatly a highlight... glam bucket reminds me of that track from the movie heat... i think its mobys "god moving his hand over the face of waters" or something along those lines... faxed invitation is really good too... best mamgu ever is nice too... overall, as a massive fan of boucoup fish and 100 days off... im a little dissapointed, but still enjoying it...

"i like the album, but Ring Road is awful... i really really don't like that song..."
think that's the one they used in Family Guy. Don't know, maybe they both sampled the same source.

warm ambient tracks like Glam Bucket or Best Mamgu Ever are really good. the tracks that try to sound like classic Underworld sound like they lack something though — Two Months Off was no Pearls Girl or Juanita, and Crocodile isn't either... then there's Ring Road, which i skip (it just doesn't work for me) and Beautiful Burnout, which is surprisingly good (the best track on the album, by far).
about the vocals... they're quite subdued, don't expect anything like Moaner — and i didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, but track titles like "Cuddle Bunny vs The Celtic Villages", "Good Morning Cockerel" or "Best Mamgu Ever" just sound awkward. now maybe it's not that important, since the album is more ambient-oriented... but still.
overall i'd give it a 7/10. it's no dubnobasswithmyheadman, Second toughest in the infants or Beaucoup fish, but it has its moments.

It's up on their Myspace at the moment.
Anyone think the cover says SEX across the middle? It's either SEX or 551. It would be explained by Underworld's weird advertising. Or is it just my perverted thinking? :P
To Heal is a lush track. Ring Road's shit.

All in all a decent Underworld effort...
I totally agree with the notion that Ring Road may be the worst track they have ever done.
Cheers!

i like "Boy, Boy, Boy" but i think i'm one of the few that generally is less pleased with this record than those in the past. i thought A Hundred Days Off was a far better record, but this new one has its moments like "To Heal".

It's about as good as you can expect from a band whose core generic audience is middle-aged and not interested in the slightest.

Nothing can ever beat Beacoup Fish. Not sure about A Hundred Days though, that just didn't click with me.

100days beats Fish cause more spacey - but that's just me. both have their highlights.
"crocodile" stands out really as I'm listening to "live at the oblivion bell". they're not gonna beat "everything everything
" that's for sure. unless Karl starts drinking again ;P sorry bad joke

not heard this but "everything, everything" might be the tightest live album i've ever heard, he says showing his paucity of vision. that version of pearls girl is something else, and i'm not really even a fan

I bought it when it was new, but only gave it one half-listen and thought it was a bit boring. I was after some loud thumpy shit like Beaucoup Fish though, so with less preconception in my ears I might enjoy it more. I will "give it a spin" (or the CD equivalent) again today
