i enjoy the experimental side of UW after all these years. I don't want them to make another Pearls Girl or Born Slippy. they've done that. when i want banging, i'll put on STITI. i think i prefer Dubno to STITI but that's just because Dubno was the first album i heard from UW. STITI is a classic. a masterpiece. i don't rate OWB higher than STITI. if i had to rank them, it would be Dubno-STITI-OwB.

most people who are complaining about the album come off as people who want underworld to recreate songs they've already done. more banging club tracks. that's just idiotic to expect a band to keep churning out the same shit over and over again. i like the ambient/experimental side and feel like this album has it all. it's the most diverse LP they've done. i really could care less if nobody else liked it.

I really couldn't agree more. I want artists to be creative, to make music they want to make. It bugs me when I see artists that I used to love, who used to be innovative, stick to the sound that has "the masses" loving them rather than doing whatever they want.

I don't doubt that they'll end up making another tune on-par with Pearl's Girl, Born Slippy, etc. but I think it's BS to expect them to churn out hundreds of tunes like that. After all, I'd imagine a portion of the people who want that would in turn do a 180 and complain about them not being innovative/creative enough.
