There is a review in the latest issue of Uncut Magazine...

Quote:
4/5

Arty techno duo rediscover beats - and catchy tunes!

Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have worked together for 30 years yet Barking is only the sixth Underworld studio album. It's also the first to employ outside producers. So while the opening trio of collaborations with Dubfire ("Bird 1"), Mark Knight and D Ramirez ("Always Loved A Film") and High Contrast ("Scribble") are melodic hands-in-the-air club anthems the pair would normally avoid, the closing "Louisiana" is a dreamy ballad, and dance-rock roots re-emerge gloriously on the almost Stones-like "Diamond Jigsaw". With experiments in disco, dubstep and drum 'n' bass all unmistakably Underworld, Barking is the sound of veterans re-energised.

I can't confirm this minute, but the September issue of Spin magazine looks to have a review of Barking. I checked the website and only that Underworld photo diary thing comes up. But some magazines don't post stuff from the paper copy right away so people will still buy the mag.

A small review in Q magazine gives Barking 3/5.
All positive comments, with ALAF mentioned as the standout dance anthem.

NME gave it 5/10 but whoever lisented to it couldn't have been that arsed getting things right seeing "Moon In Water" was printed as "Move In Water".

Short article listing Bird 1 and ALAF as highlights, Diamond Jigsaw compared to a Doves festival anthem which to me ain't so bad.
