    Beautifully produced with great new sounds, yet unmistakenly Underworld.

    Smooth... The Underworld sound has changed a bit since Darren Emerson left, but I love the new style. More upbeat than previous works. What hasnt changed is that Karl Hyde's lyrics are still cryptic ramblings

    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

    Am I missing something? Everyone seems to be creaming themselves over 100DO but while the hits are strong, there is too much to skip. And 2 Months off is a fine comeback single, but since when have Underworld delievered delivered something merely 'fine'. Since they took 100 days off, that's when. Dubnobass's position as best album in the world ever is very secure.

    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. I couldn't manage it very well :-)… Expand

    This is your parents' progressive house. Great single, and a lot of noodly Back to Mine-style wankery. Something for tasteful hipsters to drink good coffee to, but not entirely discouraging for Underworld fans, nonetheless...

    Solid and mostly satisfying, but somewhat sparse compared to the previous three Underworld albums.

    I've been an Underworld fan ever since I've been an electronica fan, which has been over eight years now. This album has a distinctly different style from the other Underworld albums, but they have distinctly different sounds from one another as well. The lyrics aren't quite as cryptic and it has a more mellow feel overall, but it's great music. I listened to "Two Months Off" for the first time this morning and it moved me to tears. That hasn't happened in a while.… Expand

    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]
