The original poster's assertion is correct to some degree. That old album
does register somewhat high on the Faecal-matter Scale. The vocals *are*
lame for the most part. But . . .
The respondent is also right to draw attention to some of the Good Things
that Underworld have brought forth into this world, such as Pearls Girl.
To state that they are pioneers, however, seems a rather large claim, since
all they were essentially doing was coll-ecl-ecting various strands in the
air at the time
(techno/electro/breakbeat/house/dub/cheese/biscuits/sub-TearsforFears
"singing" . . . ) and cobbling it together into a sonic pizza.
Long on crust, short on topping . . .

Its the last LP before "DUBNOBASSWITHMYHEADMAN". I play it to
anyone
who says they like Underworld. It's some of the worst crap I've ever
heard and I dont think that their new stuff is as good as it's hyped up
to be. Boring, repetitive beats, cheesy synth lines and lame vocals =
poopoo.<<<<
I don't know....Underworld has some of the best stuff:
Pearls Girl <listen with base please>
Dark and Long <more base, please>
Nux, from Born Slippy single <additional base>
In short, I don't agree with you. Underworld are pioneers.
