BURIAL - Untrue
This album is already the rage amongst UK electronic afficionados for whom his self-titled debut was a much needed revitalization of dubstep. Since names like Tricky and Massive Attack have gone creatively packing, Burial does indeed appear primed to move on to bigger and better things. Untrue is a little too bleak an album to harbor its own "Teardrop", but it's not all doom and gloom. Burial manages to successfully convey a haunted, metropolitan atmosphere without completely forsaking a sense of adventure or lightness in his music. The result is an album of more layers than are first apparent.

The stunning atmosphere and ghostly moods of the first are amplified, with more of a glowing, euphoric feeling mixed in the crackle and murkiness this time. Awesome. Hits me in the heart and occasionally gives me chills. Absolutely beautiful.
I haven't been this enraptured and excited by an album in many years.
Album of the year for me, by far.
this album is incredible.
