second toughest in the infants

is actually pretty damn good. i used to be all about dubnobasswithmyheadman, but i think i finally understand why this album receives higher praise generally.
or it could be the side errr.



  • underworld

    are the best dance act ever, surely? daft punk get more coverage, but underworld have done more albums and are more consistent.

    • Leftfield

      Quality, not quantity.

      • no way

        have you ever seen underworld live?!

        maximum techno FTW

        • Yes

          and Leftfield. Underworld were consistently great live but Leftfield were stupendous.

          All about the bass innit.

  • "funny"

    I almost boiught infants in a charity shop yesterday
    then I thought
    naaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    I'll stick wuith Dubnobass.......

  • ....

    Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream Of Love
    Pearls Girl

    are well good tunes but...

    Dark & Long
    Mmm Skyscraper I Love You
    Cowgirl

    are better in my opinion... but I think my fav album is Beaucoup Fish

    • I really like it too

      but my favourite is Second Toughest In the Infants. There's not a weak moment on it. Beaucoup Fish has a couple of patchy moments in the middle. 'Cups' is a superb opener though...

      • I havent heard Second Toughest In the Infants

        for a very long time... I will have to dig it out. I think I love Beaucoup Fish so much as it was the first one the I got into with them and I love Jumbo loads its an ace tune.

  • Right now I can't choose

    my favourite record by them. I think I've chosen, then I listen to one of the others and change my mind again. It still floors me how good they are.

    • yes and yes.

      The quality of the first three albums (and the live album) is astounding.

      • Everything Everything is class

        Good shout.

        I reckon they're all at least 8/10, but my fave is Beaucoup Fish. Pearls Girl is my fave Underworld track though.

        • yeah the live album is ace

          If I can't decide what to stickon I usualy go for that... the best of is damn good to... well it would be wouldnt it I guess

        • Some of the live interpretations

          actuall sound better than the studio versions on that. Juanita/Kiteless for example...

  • I listened to this album for the first time in a while on Tuesday

    and it's still brilliant. I'm tempted to say that Dubnobass shades it but it's darn close. Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love is my favourite Underworld song but the version on Everything Everything is better.

    I would also agree that they're the best dance act ever.

    • Leftworld

      There is a weak track on Second toughest. Rowla is annoying, and teh last track stagger. Obvioulsy Pearls girl and the Long first part track are brilliant. Beaucoup Fish is album for me. Had Moaner cranked on the other day, fukin awesome. Sae them a benicassim too a while back. Also Awesome. Leftfield were great, but not around long.

  • great album

    probably the greatest dance act ever yes, just for the sheer amount of good shit!

    • Never a lot of praise for the last album on here

      Oblivion With Bells was very good, I thought. Plus their new choon is very Dubno:

      • In hindsight

        I think Oblivion With Bells might be my favourite so far. Then Dubnobass in second. Second Toughest is good but drags on a bit with a couple of annoying tracks (Stagger and Rowla), and having bollocks like Blueski doesn't work on an eight track album.

      • Oblibvion with Bells

        was pretty awesome, though there was one or two duds on it. It was a real slowburner and took me a while to get into, but i really like it now and still listen to it quite a bit.

  • Spooky....

    ...just listening to that on my way to work this morning for the first time in ages and it still sounds brilliant

  • i think

    wierdly that skym is my fave underworld song. its spooky and sparse.
    dark and long is ace.
    and the live version of rez on everything is amazing.
