The Official OWB Thread

[cacophony]

at the risk of being flamed, i'm going to admit something here: "boy, boy, boy" might be my least favorite underworld song of all time. it's worse than "river of bass." it's actually getting in the way of my appreciation of the second half of the album because every time i get into it i just end up backing up to a better previous track.

to redeem myself, let me just say that i love every track up until that point. "glam bucket" owns me. verdict is still out on everything following.

I am inclined to agree, so was somewhat surprised (and disappointed) to hear it may be the next single. I am enjoying the hell out of the rest of the album though, (definitely their best LP since STITI) - my favourite album of the year along with 'From Here We Go Sublime' by The Field.

I could certainly go for longer versions of some of the songs on UWlive.com ('To Heal...' and an even longer 'Beautiful Burnout', please!) but I think in the context of listening to the album as a whole the shorter tracks like 'To Heal...' and GMC work well.

at risk of being called a fanboy again, i'd like to say that i love Boy Boy Boy.

I think Boy Boy Boy is my favorite song on the album!

Though links to many of these reviews have already been posted (esp. see lloyd's excellent blog!), metacritic compiles and averages scores so you get a better idea of general opinion. Oblivion With bells is doing pretty favorably:

i also like boy boy boy... it is far better than Ring Road and Cuddle Bunny. They are both unlistenable for me.

I don't feel the need to skip through any of these songs...the whole thing is "listenable" IMHO

each to their own though....
