Rated 3/5

There's a reason why 'Under the Radar' slid under the radar.... it's just not that good. It's not absolute rubbish (unless you hate 80s synth pop), but compared with what the group later did - with an altered line up - it just doesn't compare.

The album highlight (i believe) is "I Need a Doctor" simply because it's a much quicker pace and is more interesting.
Also the intro to "Bright White Flame" is very cool, with echoing synthesised beats, but then it goes into that typical 80s beat and become mediochre. With some good production skills the intro could be turned to this tune could be turned into a great underground trance song, or maybe some weird twisted techno.

On the whole, if this is the only Underworld album you have ever heard, DON'T judge the group against it.
