New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan) - Page 62

Just thought I'd drop in to say that this is a really fun record. I'm really enjoying most of it. The only two tracks I can do without are "Diamond Jigsaw" and "Louisiana" - the rest is big, over-the-top dance anthem stuff in the spirit of great Underworld tracks of yore.

It's certainly a pop record but so are most of their recognizable tunes quite frankly; there is a reason this band has been popular and not just one of the thousands of anonymous dudes out there stamping out dj tools. It's the blend between all of their pop, dance and other influences that has produced all of this memorable stuff.

Thumbs up. Don't like the title of the album much but the songs are just fine.

Love the work done on the limited box set - it's a great object.

who's rattling who?

If i'm going to ever listen to...and I mean, really, if there EVER was a time I'd listen to ---stadiumrockelectronicpopsong stuff... I wholeheartedly hope and wish it would be Underworld playing it.

I love them for who they are now... not for who they used to be.

So, this is out next week, when do we reckon the pre-orders from UWlive will be arriving? This week at some point?

Well I am hoping they stick them all in the post on Saturday, first class delivery so that we get them on Monday.....but suspect it will be the middle of the week at the earliest. I thought I was being cool by waiting for the physical release, but having been reading these posts about the album / singles for so long, I feel like everyone will be taking about the next record before I even hear this one!!!!

listening on the myspace mp3 release - so far my initial reaction to the tracks is "top quality" way to go karl and rick - waiting for the physical release is better now.

Does anyone know if they will play in Boston sometime soon? Boston is like an hour away from me, and NYC is over 4 hours away from me.

Any else body here waiting for the physical release to arrive before listening to Barking. I have a feeling that I am the only person that reads these boards that has not heard it yet (especially since it is now available on myspace)?!?!
