Underworld (Divinyls album)
Underworld is the fifth studio album by Australian band Divinyls, released in 1996 by BMG Records. It was the band's first studio album release in five years and the final release with original lead singer Chrissy Amphlett. The lead single "I'm Jealous" had been successful when released in 1995, however this did not have an effect on the album as Underworld was supposed to be released in the 3rd quarter of 1995, but the album was delayed repeatedly due to production problems. Underworld debuted and peaked at number forty-seven on the ARIA Albums Chart and was their last charting album.

gollark: They don't have perfect knowledge of the student though.
gollark: But if I also initially configured that thing, I obviously did cause it and caused any consequences.
gollark: It could reasonably be argued that even if I just look at a thing and perfectly understand it enough to predict all its future conditions, I didn't cause it.
gollark: And again, God *set up the entire thing*.
gollark: Foreknowledge plus causing is... causing.
