You were right the first time haha:

Sounds good on paper, but in reality it just doesn't do anything for me when I listen to it, really don't get what the fuss is about.Lichee wrote: "this song works better and makes much more sense to me with a live vocalist" - the beauty of Burials vocals is the short clips, pitching and repetition, it means it never sounds like a vocalist, you don't know who's singing it, if it's male or female, a girl or a woman or where the vocals came from. They sort of support the entire track, the tune doesn't become about a singer.
Burial's production is definitely not lazy and unthoughtful, i'm not sure we're listening to the same music here.
I think Burial's drums/percussion and production overall is incredible btw, just his use of vocals ruins it for me
