Has anyone heard / heard of this? I picked it up today, it's the shit.
Reminiscent of early Photek, though perhaps after he's been doing a load of bongs all night. Awesome album. Lives up to the hype that has been shovelled all over it.
They've got it here if you fancy a listen.

it's good and i like it, but i wouldn't say it has lived up to the hype... i think it's been hyped an awful lot... don't think it's mindblowing, but yeah, it's a good album as i said...

the burial album is good because it's dubstep that isnt complete shit, like pretty much all of it is. it has no crappy MC image going on with it.
sounds like vladislav delay and boulderdash making a dubstep record. its unique and its worth the buzz, but it isn't amazing or anything.
still, its a good dubstep record. that in itself is a feat.

that's a pretty good description, which probably explains why i'm not crazy about it. it's dubstep for people who don't like dubstep. a bit too watered down for me.

it reminds me of the best years of chain reaction/basic channel/maurizio with this new and fresh dubstep/grime taste.
i love it

Yes, Simon Reynolds gave it 5/5 in the Guardian, but they took it down to a 4, because they suck. I don't think it's as innovative as people say, but it gets me on an emotial level. I like it. "Gutted" is great.

None of the tracks is as good as "Midnite Request Line" by Skream. It's sort of like the spoudtrack to innovation having a little nap before it comes back to kill NME indie crap.

I listend to the album today, it's cool. wouldn't call it innovative though. but it does sound more creative then most dubstep out there.

a pretty boring release to be hyped up so much. i liked the broken home track from south london boroughs ep sort of, but really, i snooze tight through the rest of it!

I dunno, it is meant to be laid back, but it still has an air of menace. And it really sounds like London, I know that sounds stupid, but it just does.

It's like music, some good, some ok. The atmosphere is good. If people say "It sounds like London" enough, eventually it will. Especially if you've never been there.

Come on Big , i think this works great on headphones too . I love listening to this kind of atmospheric dark and moody music when on a train or something.

Yes, this is fresh, one of the best releases this year (but not the best). It has this flowing, almost minimal, dark vibe.

I picked this up at the end of last week. Absolutely stunning album, especially for a debut. I know it is a strange thing to say but it is an album I climb inside and experience it's much more than just listening to sounds...it's been years since I experienced a first listen that hit me with such magnitude.

I thought Dubstep was all wank? :P
Yeah, it's a wicked album and I agree with you that it's an album you really get into properly. Glad you like it.
Swears: I don't think most Dubstep "sounds like london" or even feels like it. For me, St. Pauls in Bristol is a lot nearer to it in atmosphere than Croydon, et al. The exception for this is Burial. It sounds just like driving around London at night.

Whats the main argument for disliking this album anyway? I'm just curious how it fails the people who didn't enjoy it.
Personally (and i've posted this a few times here), I think the album is absolutely stunning and it hits all the sweet spots for me.
