5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best Nov 13 2004
By music fan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I really like the Delgados, but initially, I didn't like Universal Audio. It sounded bare compared to their traditional sound, and the songs were more sugary than I expected. After repeated listening, however, the album grew on me. The melodies sound more basic but there is a great deal of subtlety in the songs. The strings are gone, but the Delgados texture their songs brilliantly even without them. I especially like what they did with the vocals.

There is great variety in this album and all of the songs are great. Although I love the moody feel of Albums like Hate and Great Eastern and the great melodies of Peloton, Universal Audio is the best collection of Delgados songs thus far.

5.0 out of 5 stars universally excellent Oct 13 2004
By Martin Grace - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The fact that this is a wonderful album came as no surprise, and it will come of no surprise to anyone who likes this band. Songs like "everybody come down" sound like the best music that could have been written by a joint combo of the breeders , pixies and teenage fanclub and it is immediately infectious. There are other more broody numbers such as "i fought the angels" and "the city consumes us" but all have a sweet melodious undertone that is the hallmark of the music produced by this band.

5.0 out of 5 stars can't stop listening to it Nov 28 2004
By G. Phipps - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Universal Audio is their masterpiece. I've been a fan since Peleton and have all their albums, so I think I have a bit of perspective. Oddly enough, even though the sound is stripped down from Hate, there so much happening sonically in each song that I unearth new sounds every time I listen. Universal Audio is so good that I can't listen to anything else. It truly bears repeated listening. Album of the year, definitely. Do yourself a favor and get this immediately. Highlights: The City Consumes Us, Sink or Swim, Bits of Bone, Girls of Valour, Keep on Breathing, Now and Forever, Come Undone. It's all good. I get chills when I listen to it.
