OWB like all the albums have their "bad" songs and "good" songs. But these songs are different for every listener.
for me, OWB, i feel that BB is great but goes on too long (Glam Bucket loses direction also). Crocodile has lost some of the feel of the "All These Things" live versions from 2005 but is still good. The "bad" songs for me are Cuddly Bunny and Good Morning Cockerel. But the rest of the album is excellent. Loads of Birds included. It has aged well in the last few years and I like it more than I did originally.
I think the same will happen with this album. Good Day Today is dividing people just as Ring Road did. Karls vocal delivery then raised eyebrows. This song is different. I dont like this song because its Underworld, I like this song because its got an old school electro feel, but with modern bits. The beat is fast, the gunshots are cool and fit in perfectly (if you listen to the lyrics before the shots) and if you like Kraftwerk or Anthony Rother you are sure to like this as you can hear the influences.
After repeated listens to Cuddly Bunny and Good Morning Cockerel, I still dont like them, but Good Day Today is a grower.
