Underworld vs The Misterons - Athens, 23-11-2009

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

Pitchfork just reviewed this...gave it a 4.9 despite claiming to like almost all of the tracks...oops

[King of Snake]

seems "perception" is more important than the music.

[crank]

YEAH, I just read the review-Talk about a non-review

[ThingInABook]

pitchfork overinflates what they like (see radiohead, neutral milk hotel). it seems they don't get underworld, so the score is kinda obvious.

also, see other reviews, like the kid a one.

also also, critics can't make music. so there.

[mmm skyscraper]

Pitchfork's score for the King of Snake single is quite high.

[potatobroth]

well whereas I might like a bunch of songs on this mix, the mix did nothing for me. I'm not saying this is why they scored it as they did as I've often thought myself that they didn't 'get' Underworld.

Thought it was a bit funny to see that they considered underworld to be off the radar a bit in recent times.. I guess though if you are a fan you dont have to look farther than their official website to get daily updates on their lives, along with twitter and all that.. for a band that have been touring on and off for over 2 years and working on new material in the mean time... i would think they are as active as ever...

.. and now new material only just on the horizon??? Shame on you pitchfork... get your act together.


Also with the whole lack of depth to Underworld's record crate thing... I have always been astounded at the varience and peculiarity of a lot of the stuff suggested to us by Karl and Rick on UWLive.com... i would have thought they were very very in touch with new music.. as well as old

Baaaaaah! Im just letting them get on my nerves... now im gonna stick on Athens and have a bit of a sulk

I agree. I'm not sure how much they follow UW's radio shows (if at all) but lack of depth is certainly not a phrase I would use to describe them. Actually, I'd say 'too deep'!

Meh, I'll still love UW no matter what PF says.

Apologies if this has been covered (I did do a search), but have the winners of the print contest ever been announced?

nope. perhaps the prints turned out magnificent and they're so attached to them and won't give them out?
