Ok I finally got to listen to the whole album (Barking).....and yes it's poppy and 'commercial' but I like it and have to say that to me it's their best album since BF.

The stand-out tracks are Bird 1 and Diamond Jigsaw. but ALAF and Scribble up there as well. The only tracks I don't 'get' yet are Grace and Moon in Water....

I'm a fan from way back and am familiar with UW Mk1 and I can see what some of the reviews are saying that some of the vocals sound like pre-Dubno...

The stand-

i'm finding it totally underwhelming.

still totally into 'downpipe', however.

give it 2 years and i don't think there'll be much barking in the live set

The beginning of Scribble always makes me think, "Huh? Here comes Massive Attack v. Mad Professor - Trinity Dub... Nonsense, I'm listening to Underworld."

First time heard Scribble I was thinking about Owl City....I know, sorry

My opinion hasnt changed much over the last few weeks. Scribble is only listenable for the first 30 seconds and last 45. Diamond Jigsaw is half a song then just repeated. Louisiana still doesnt really belong although I am warming to it. I've had to remove the Abbey Road version of YDS from the folder because its just totally brainshocking to hear it straight after Louisiana. I think maybe i'll have to also make my own tracklist of the album because as it is im not really enjoying all of it.
