Short Review- Underworld

Underworld has finally reached their 8th album, Barking. Barking was release on September 2, 2010. The lead single, "Scribble", produced with Welsh drum and bass producer High Contrast, was released on June 28, 2010.

Underworld is freed up to focus on crafting memorable tunes that hark back to their electronica heyday, as well as more personal, coherent lyrics. Resident Advisor reviewer Ian Mathers said the duo "marries a renewed emphasis on the dance floor with unabashedly open-hearted lyrics", and felt that "the songs here are a harmonious marriage of the classic, propulsive Underworld sound and the kind of techniques and textures that postdate most of their career."

"This record can be seen as a work of celebration while residing in the comforting notion that they have already proven all that they have to prove. Or it could be considered a somewhat lazy effort, a work more poppy than anything they have previously produced and one in which they know will sell well."
