Editorial Review: Album Description: 2007 sophomore release from the UK's mysterious and much-acclaimed Burial. Of all the artists past and present who claim to let their music do their talking for them, Untrue, is a record of weird Soul music, which lovingly processes spectral female voices into vaporized R&B and smudged two-step garage. Vocal lines are blurred, smeared, pitched up pitched down and pitch bent until their content is cast adrift from their original context and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void. Forget central heating -- the radioactivity of this album is all that you'll need to keep you warm this winter. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Burialthe cd is really good, i really wanted this album from the moment i first listened to it. Rating: - Blues for the next milleniumBurial is coming out of nowhere. He's publicity-shy, he's not touring and he concerns himself primarily with his beats. The palette is parsimonious: all is very sparse, but it never feels bare or cheap. Clearly, there are lots of influences here. Whereas the previous album was a nice crossover of dub, Drum & Bass, and Boards of Canada (!?), this one has an almost trance and garage feeling with eurotrash voices coming from another planet. There are echoing synthesizers that seem lifted from AFX Ambient Classic II and early Autechre (say, Garbage). The album is infectious and almost danceable (again, in a different planet). But the best thing about Burial is that his sound is instantly recognizable. It is original, honest. Given the intimate ... Read More: Rating: - .Is it possible to do justice to this album? Truly an awesome piece of music that manages to be emotive, exciting, mellow, dark and melancholic (in true Burial style) all at once. Near Dark is simply stunning, woodblocks, dark rave stabs running around in the back, and a vox admitting to envy. Archangel has elements not unlike Rhythm and Sound, but nothing like them, too. More darkness and vox. The entire album is the work of a genius. I didn't think it would be possible to top South London Boroughs; so, eh, what do I know? Rating: - Not 2 B Missed!Nothing I have listened to in 2008 comes anywhere close to this. Burial's sound is murky, dark, ethereal, any other words that could describe your favorite rainy day. Somehow this music breaks down the beautiful, tender side of being human. It makes me feel vulnerable. I have never had music evoke such emotion. This may be dubstep, but it is a masterpiece by any stansdard in any genre Rating:  - Somewhat insubstantial mood recordIn terms of atmosphere and feeling, Burial's "Untrue" is everything the reviewers here have said: a cry of loneliness and despair from the empty, dark, cold, rain-soaked streets of some massive urban metropolis. As many have said, it also feels intensely personal and intimate, unlike the rather alienated, mechanical feel of a lot of electronica these days. As a backdrop for nostalgic, mournful thought, there is nothing better... And as long as your mind stays pre-occupied in such a way, you'll never realize you're listening to an extremely repetitive record that fails to change, evolve, or explore a lot of the possibilities and directions he could have taken with the chosen theme. I believe Burial was trying to make a thematically ... Read More: |
