Their best album since Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

What's so striking about A Hundred Days Off is that frontman/producer Hyde and producer Smith have reshaped Underworld as a duo without coming off as incomplete, overzealous, or jaded.
-
The thundering beats, subdued vocals of indecipherable lyrics, and power packed riffs are all still there, but they've mellowed and everything is a bit softer around the edges.

Mixer[Emerson's] absence has liberated rather than weakened Hyde and Smith. [Sep 2002, p.74]
-
MojoThey have settled gracefully into the task of making a consistently glorious racket. [Oct 2002, p. 100]

-
The songs lack the energy, the feeling, and even the melody of Underworld's classic records.
