I love it. One of those very few albums where theres a prominent atmosphere that instantly absorbs you into its space. The album sounds to me like a soundtrack to some futuristic venue full of cyberpunk subcultures. |

I'd say another reason people may have disliked the album was due to the overhyping by the media/press. The important thing to remember is Burial (and indeed Hyperdub) never really promoted the album or proclaimed it to be the best thing ever. Indeed, if you have ever read the interview with Burial at Blackdowns site, then he comes across as a very understated, low-key kinda guy. All the hype came from the people who listened to it and loved it. Of course, when an album reaches legendary status before it is even released, then some people are naturally going to be disappointed. Redrum shares his opinion with quite a few people. It seems to be one of those albums you either absolutely love or absolutely hate. I see it as a headphone album more than a dancefloor album and it makes for excellent home listening. I should also add that I generally dislike Dubstep and UK Garage. |

I agree with Brisk. Burial claims to of never planned on releasing his stuff originally (he didn't think it was of that level of quality) and just made it for him and his brothers to listen to. Likewise Hyperdub didn't go OTT (or indeed, do much to promote it all, bar the breezeblock show on it) with promotion either. The eager anticipation/hype was largely due to the South London Boroughs EP being so good. Personally, my favourite track by him (used to be his only track I liked) is Nite Train- the one track off the ep that isn't on the album. I also agree that (the opposite of most dubstep) it's better at home than in a club. |

I got this the other day based on The Wire magazines review of it.... essentially "number 1 album of 06". Man its good.. ncie and brooding, very sexy and not to much annoying mcing/singing. Played it for my woman the other night and things got real amorous real quick. Are the 2 rephlex grime albums worth getting? the less singing the better. |

I'll hold my hand up to being sceptical about the whole grime / dubstep thing when rephlex first released those albums and I started reading press about it... Just seemed to be overhype or something. I have been listening to that kind of music loads over the past couple of years. (not all of it is great of couse, but a lot is good.) They were right, I was (/ am) a knob. Rephlex rules. |

i got this based on the Wire having it as album of the year, love the atmosphere, vocals are in all the right places, its not rushed... i'm not familiar with any dubstep really, never even heard of the genre before today but i love this album! Going through my wire magazines at the mo looking for some good music, next on my list is Scot Walker - The Drift |

dark garage. |

i don't get it. guess its decent for background stuff, but it doesn't speak to me. still probably better than 70% of stuff out i guess. |

I love it actually. Still do. |

I can't believe this is over a year old. Magic record, I still really like it. I still reckon Unite and Night Train are better than anything on the album, mind. |
||||||||
|

Didn't think much of Unite to be honest. Night train however is blinding. I think the track that gets stuck in my mind the most from the album is forgive. Such a beautiful moment. Really love U hurt me as well. |

ghost hardware, unite and the crackle blues remix are better than the album tracks i reckon- doesn't have the same magic for me anymore but i still like it |
||||||||
|

|

Yes, the crackle blues remix is my third favourite Burial track. Skink: I'm sure months of lusting after a full version of unite and listening literally dozens of times to the myspace version might have tinted my judgement slightly. :) |

any other non-vocal burial-like actions out there. Kode9's "( Smaurai" is fucking brilliant track. .....not into the singing malarky though. |

There isnt much variety in this Burial album. its like rainy day dubstep. |
