What a shit review, I hate it when a review is made up of 50%+ of backstory/old news about the artist instead of actually reviewing the album itself

I'm looking forward to reading the p4k review where 90% of the text compares it to Burial. "Dedication finally provides a follow up within the Bass Music scene that is redeemable enough to escape the large shadow cast by Burial's Untrue in 2007."

And they might even discuss it's place within "the fragmented post-dubstep scene"

(note that all quotes are just speculations)

Haha, it's very likely. Instead of calling it "bass music", they'll tar Dedication with the "post dubstep" brush no doubt. I reckon pitchfork will give it no more than 7.5/10

FACT review of Dedication...dsf gets namechecked.

FACT Magazine wrote:Perhaps the defining characteristic of Dedication, though is its disregard for forward motion. Whether it’s linked to Zomby’s well-publicised love of architecture I don’t know, but tracks here constantly spiral upwards, their tails circling around buildings as they flutter into the sky. Dedication’s songs hang, hide, sway, curl and yes, float, but they rarely move straight. It’s a simple thing, but this in itself removes Zomby from 99% of dance music. They move with such beauty that it’s even more effective when Zomby cuts them with no outro or warning. He’s like an evil ringleader, sending his creations out to dance before snatching them back as they hit a groove.

i like that...

+"muffled drums below the surface that do more than you initially realise, or backing piano that brings a main riff to life. These tracks are, of course, full of contradictions: delicate spirals that end off-note and marble melodies punctuated by crude gunshots, but that’s what makes them so fascinating."

but it's skanking time

Those may be the very quotes that you will see. Of course, what may happen, as I've seen sometimes, is that writers will only refer to the album in reference to other music, without ever telling you what it actually sounds like.
