Free Music Notes for Oblivion with Bells (Includes bonus DVD)
Free Music Review: too many lyrics
Hit: 2 Stars
I have never written an irate Amazon review before. But all the positive reviews of this album had me expecting another beautiful album like "A Hundred Days Off", (which I consider to be Underworld's crowning achievement).
I do really like the music on this disk, (hence the 2 stars) but as soon as I hear vocals, I can't seem to hit the skip button fast enough. There are one or two tracks where the vocals are less intrusive "Faxed Invasion" is almost listenable... maybe... and some do sound "sampled", which is ok, but by far the majority of songs are ruined by bad vocals.
The vocals on "Ring Road" are particularly laughable. Almost like a bad imitation of the streets. Definitely listen to that one before you purchase. If you can stand to, that is.
Free Music Review: Flashback to their old days.
Hit: 2 Stars
This one sounds like they're in desperate need of bringing a third "opinion" to the band, as this disc sounds like one of their earlier works, like "Dubno....." or even "secondtoughest....."
I wish Karl would stop being so happy, as he does his better work when he's more on the darkside. May be that's just my taste, but they need to bring back a mix-artist of Darren Emerson's quality again to help them push their sounds to hit out more, rather than this benign effort.
Free Music Review: Ehh......
Hit: 2 Stars
Let's face it, Underworld was a techno band for the 90's. "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" is classic. This is just tired. I give it 2 stars for the memories.Free Music Review: Come Back Darren!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
Nice try, but I wasn't impressed. Darren Emerson is sorely missed... Too bad, there is only one Underworld...
