"Two Months Off¹ is the headiest summer-break tribute since Alice Cooper's 'School's Out.' Spin Sep '02

'...it's an album which proves they are still a major force on the dance floor, stacking up imposing slabs of noise, harmonious tech-funk, tender chill out and the occasional nod to sunshine tinged folk. It's the sound of Underworld growing older but still acting up." Muzik Aug 02

¹Like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder at their prime Underworld makes genuine soul music brimming with emotion and meaning. Underworld has outpaced the competition and released the electronic album to beat." Urb Sep '02

"Hyde and Smith don't really need anything but their instincts to tell them what works, and a Hundred Days Off offers ample proof." Lotus Magazine '02

"Generating effervescent collages of sophisticated dance beats.Gorgeous." Interview Magazine Sep '02
