untrue
so anyway, regular viewers may remember that i liked the first Burial album, which was really very good. and it was hard to imagine that Burial could improve on that.hard to imagine but it happened.
it feels exactly like a drizzly night in Streatham. you are walking home with a broken heart. you've finally realised that it's never going to happen with her, and you've never felt worse. echoing in your head are snippets of r&b that make sense now because finally you are feeling what they were singing.
the rhythmic scheme is similar to that of Burial--so much so that in parts he might have used the same drum tracks, but the feel has moved on. the compositions are much stronger, full of inventive use of samples and cutting-edge sound, and the melodies are just dripping off it. i swear, i spent the whole of my first listen going "this cannot be this fucking good" and my second going "oh yes it can". it's astonishingly progressive, deep, brutal, tender, disorienting and moving in so many ways that i can't find decent words to describe it with.
album of the year, no contest. i mean it.
