unapologetically fanboy.
i've done more than my share of criticizing the band, btw. i absolutely hate listening to King of Snake, Push Upstairs, Born Slippy, half of AHDO and others. this album just sounds so perfect to me. liking an album that the critics collectively say 'meh' to and half the fans on the message board don't love is hardly being a fanboy. if the album didn't actually touch me, i wouldn't claim it did. having said that, i do believe i'm biased. i appreciate the change in direction for Underworld and couldn't be happier that they strayed from club bangers that appeal to idiots and pill heads. i'm assuming your friends wanted more club tracks which is why they aren't impressed. just play them a remix of Born Slippy without the vocals and say it's a b-side, they'll be in heaven.
