For a lot of people Nuxx is the only thing they know from Underworld, which is a real shame because, imo, it is far from their best piece ever and while it was something of a zeitgeist, things have moved on a great deal in music since.

yeah, its a stomper and cheesy song for me.. uncut magazine is also saying that "they come perilously close to turning into faithless", "hyde sounds like missing link between jg ballard and mike skinner", "finely polished album but low on guts, grit or urgency".
its not a surprise for a magazine who obsessed with bob dylan. :-) (well, i've always been a neil young fan)
only thing i agree that i read nearly all books by ballard and yeah, rick sometimes reminds me a lot of ballard texts.
