Editorial Review: Album Description: Australian only release of the Aussie rock band's follow up to 1991's successful self-titled release which featured the single 'I Touch Myself'. Darker & with more emphasis on ballads than any of their previous albums, 'Underworld' is the band's most accomplished release to date, features 14 tracks including the singles 'Heart Of Steel', 'I'm Jealous' (featured on Melrose Place), 'Sex Will Keep Us Together', & 'Human On The Inside'. BMG. 1996. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The forgotten Divinyls albumReleased initially in Australia only by BMG. Here we find the Divinyls playing a less polished brand of music that found them success on their last outing, their self titled International Hit album. The song "Im Jealous" had been around for a couple of years used in Melrose Place and is an emotionally charged ballad only Chrissy and Mark could pull off. A powerful song indeed. It hit #14 on the Australian singles chart. Several darker acoustic ballads signal the difference between this album and its predecessor, both being a departure from the new wave, energetic rocking earlier albums, The Monkey Grip EP, Desperate, What A Life and Tempermental. There are two instrumental links on this album which stretches ...

Christina sounds beter than ever in songs like: Heart of Steel, I'm Jealous and Save me. I also recommend Essential Divinyls,which includes all of their best songs...2 great CDS to own! Rating: - Handle With Fire-GlovesWhat can I say about this, or any other DiVinyls album, that'll possibly do it justice? They're probably my favorite recording group of all time, and like all their albums, "Underworld" is an absolute must-have. Here in North America, DiVinyls seem to be known almost exclusively for their 1991 self-titled album and the "I Touch Myself" single, which is a shame, because as awesome as that song and that album are, they're only part of an outstanding repertoire of music. Knowing a band like this for one song only - no matter how good that song - is an appalling injustice, akin to recognizing a rainbow for one colour only. On the CD itself, there are again zero weak tracks, the DiVinyls being one of the few bands to ...

Most record execs were probably scratching their heads, wondering why a band that had finally made it was messing with a hit formula. However, if you give "Underworld" a chance - and three or four listens! - a number of it's charms will rise to the surface. But before we get to those charms let's discuss what I don't like about "Underworld." First, and foremost, there's the production....there's a raw, unfinished, ... Read More: |
