I only hear a masterpiece.

Burial's released subpar music? That's news to me.

On her BBC Radio 6 program Mary Anne Hobbs read the complete text message that Burial sent to her. I've transcribed it: "I put my heart into the new EP, I hope someone likes it. I wanted the tunes to be anti-bullying tunes, that could maybe help someone to believe in themselves, to not be afrai...

Pitchfork: 9/10 Resident Advisor: 4/5 Pretty Much Amazing: A Consequence of Sound: 4/5 Fact Mag: 5/5 The only place I'm seeing a hostile reaction is in here, and some of whom have posted their negative comments in other forums. The album's a 10 for me. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18820-buria...

imo if music doesnt sound sick the first couple of listens then why should the i bother forcing myself to listen to it again and again until i "like" it, when i could be listening to something i deem worthwhile? just really, really silly imo haha Wow. Okay. Maybe you're too young to have ...

Did I do it again? Never mind me, I'm just ecstatic to have a new Burial EP to listen to for quite a while to come, - and one that's even exceeded my high expectations.

Just thought of something else: the way in which Burial manipulates voices to morph and oscillate between male and female genders. That's a link between Untrue and Rival Dealer, this continued exploration of sexuality and gender.

Like this whole "he's coming out" business, i couldnt give a shit, i dont care if he was a lizard man with downs syndrome, i listen to the music, if anything, deep personal motives and political messages put me off. Well, that's what nails this release for me. Perhaps Burial is Banksy aft...

Seriously? I guess we don't all hear the same. What I'm listening to is dripping with soul and feeling. There's literally no one else who could have made this.

Here it is, laid out: 1) Rival Dealer: - at 2:15, the music/beat suddenly fades out, and a voice comes in and says, "This is who I am." Then the music re-enters - at 4:15, a voice comes in and says, "It's about sexuality, it's about finding the person who you are. [Now between you and...

Burial should come out in an interview to say what he thinks? In that case, why would he bother making music? He speaks through his music. He's has a wealth of samples to choose from - like, you know, every film ever made, every tv show, every speech. He chose his samples for a reason, there's thoug...

In fact, the track that's gut everyone buzzing about what it means, also happens to be my favorite track on here: Come Down to Us. Just a gorgeous track.

Anyone else find it quite funny that the Fact article put so much emphasis on suggesting this record was Burial's way of coming out as gay or transgender - especially as they know he has no online presence to come and say anything about it What do you think, they just pulled it out of the air? Even...

I just went to hyperdub.net, and typed in "rival dealer" in the search. It'll take you to a page with two links: Tracks Burlal - Rival Dealer Burlal - Rival Dealer - but when you click on them, it says, "Sorry but the release HDB080 is not currently available." I did the same thi...

There are cats out there doing their best to imitate Burial. I could name names, but we all know them. I'll just say one, since he pretty much admitted straight up his intent as a sort of tribute: Volor Flex. Yet none of them come as close to replicating Burial's sound as these clips do. If it's not...
