but the endings leave something to be desired. i wish that they would end an album with a bang, like they start it out.

I liked Luetin on AHDO better than Mo Move.

I agree the opening tracks are really well chosen, but I think the ending tracks are, too. ME was a perfect ending to a perfect album, and I'm having trouble explaining why I feel that way. Stagger too. I wouldn't arrange their albums any other way.

moaner isnt bang enough? might possibly be the hardest track underworld has other than tin there. but id strongly disagree... i feel like they close each of the albums very appropriately.

Luetin, Moaner, M.E. Fucking great ending tracks. Juanita and Cups, fucking great intro tracks.

Not that I necessarily agree with you on this, but really I think you're going to find that's true for a LOT of albums. Because it's the first thing you hear when you start up an album, when you think about it, in the artist's eyes, the opening tracks are really the most important. A person is much more likely to say, "I'll listen to this album, I like the first song" than he is to say, "I'll listen to this album because I like a song somewhere towards the end". I think Underworld are really good in this respect...the only album they have in my eyes that starts really strong and kind of fizzles out is Beacoup Fish, and even that has a great closing track.

Besides, there's much better targets for this accusation, like Moby's Play (I've owned this CD for like 5-6 years, and still haven't listened to some of the last tracks all the way) (and I know you like Moby)...really, I don't think Underworld has a problem at all in this aspect.

I'm sorry but thats a load of crap. Moaner is a massive end of album bang and Luetin and Stagger are fantastic. Luetin is my favourite song on the album. As for Mother Earth, its a classic and a great way to finish the album. So, i completely disagree with you.
