Well... after reading it, it should be more 3 out of 4, if not 4. The note is not reflecting what they're writing.

I have reviews from The Independent on Friday and from this months The Word. I'll try to get them scanned in. Grace is also on the CD on the front of The Word mag.

6. Underworld - Grace
Few acts from the 1988 dance explosion managed to turn their craft into such affecting, grown-up music as Underworld did. But how did it take these Essex boys so long to call an album Barking?
From the album Barking

Pitchfork seem to be describing an entirely different album:

For their first album in three years, Underworld has decided to shake things up a bit. By reaching out to some of electronic music’s most compelling artists in several genres they have created an album that simultaneously returns to their rave roots while also pushing their sound into exciting new territories. Barking, Underworld’s sixth studio album, is nothing short of brilliant, awe-inspiring dance music at its finest.

I'm trying to read the review objectively, but it reads like a pretty crap review. A lot of bullshit statements and inconsistencies.

My favourite part is the description of Scribble. " It features the same rush-rush-rush drum programming of heyday Underworld".
Errr

totally agree...

I have never read a review that I couldn't follow from beginning to the end. I kept having to go back and re-read sentences and be like "wait... what did he just say"

Welcome to Pitchfork...

All it gripes about is that Underworld are old, their 90's albums were so good, and that Louisiana wasn't powerful enough (???) I don't think the song was supposed to be sung with "real strength"...it's not a power ballad! What an awful review...he didn't really have anything bad to say about the other tracks, in fact it seemed like he did like the album quite a bit. In the old days Pitchfork actually used to make me mad, now I'm just confused, don't they have like, an editor??
