    Beautifully produced with great new sounds, yet unmistakenly Underworld.

    it grows on you, It's easy to listen to it from start to finish without skiping tracks. Nice music for pretty much any situation. I love it the much when I walk outside

    great background music. this is pretty much the mellower version of underworld.

    To me, it sounds like dubnobass...pt.2 (a good thing right?) Compared to the gorgeousness and sonic brutality of beaucoup fish, this one falls just short. Even so, a solid, subdued work.

    Definitly an excellent album. I thought "Beaucoup Fish" was incredible but this one's even better. Plenty of hard house track plus some smooth lounge music. A true winner! Get this album now!!

    No myslim ze Underworld jasne ukazali svetu, ze rozhodne jeste nepatri do staryho zeleza. Ackoli "utrpeli mensi ztratu" po odchodu Darrena Emmersona, je videt ze jejich sverazny styl to nijak zvlast neovlivnilo. Zkratka, Underworld sou, podle me, i nadale premianti v teto oblasti elektronicke hudby. Jen tak dal hosi!! NOTE: Please forgive me that I didn't use English.

    A fantastic return with a new energy and very inspired melodies.

    this album pushes the band into new directions, perhaps made possible by the departure of legendary darren emerson. there are few tracks that will jump out immediately, but this is percisely the album's strength in my opinion. i find myself coming back to it especially late at night. in that sense it is just like the perfection of 2nd toughest during a lonely midnight drive.

    Their best album since their 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' debut, Karl and Rick have pulled off a comeback in fine style and laid some demons to rest.

    The good news is that practically nothing has changed. That's also the bad news. [#10, p.133]
