I'm not talking about the interviewer, those are usually solid, I'm talking about the people in the crowd who put their hands up and ask questions at the end.
Oh right. I just notice you put blonde and not bloke. Haha.
Fair, I usually switch off at the questions from the audience bit tbh.

It sounds like he just plonked a load of lame samples together through a load of reverb. It's cheesy as fuck. The speech samples are hilariously heavy handed. The vinyl crackle stuff has gone so far as to sound like self parody. There's nothing good rhythmically in it and melodically it's just cheesy samples for a large part of it.
When I heard the leaked clips the night before it came out I genuinely thought they were fake and it was someone doing a pisstake of Burial.
It sounds like an awkward teenager in a fedora in their bedroom playing random samples through effects and thinking it is somehow beautiful and deep.
The first track has maybe a little more happening in it but the other two just sound like bad sample collages.
If you want to hear music made by purely changing to give them a new context and emotional response in a way that actually works and has a strong underlying concept that also has a point to it check out Caretaker. He takes damaged 78rpm records and processes and edits them in a way to exaggerate their flaws and atmospherically shift them into sounding lost and melancholic which he does for the purpose of creating albums about the decay of memories over time and the loss of traces of those people and places from the time the records were made.
If you want to hear someone using the physical properties of vinyl playback and the aesthetic qualities of the artifacts inherent within the playback of the medium then try Philip Jeck. He did performances with 180 record players used live in a room. Then went on to incorporate the sounds of vinyl records into performances of classical music like on the more recent version of The Sinking Of The Titanic that was recorded with him involved. Not just layered some crackle over a time-stretched pop song.
Or if you want to hear slightly melancholic garage stuff made buy some soppy dude from London listen to his old stuff that was actually good.
There’s nothing explicit enough to suggest that Rival Dealer is Burial’s own Frank Ocean letter, but the EP’s final sample – a speech by transgender filmmaker Lana Wachowski at last year’s Human Rights Campaign gala – combined with sentences such as “sometimes you’re trying to find yourself”, “step into the unknown”, “it’s about sexuality, about showing someone who you really are” and “you’re not alone” really makes you think.
what the fucking hell lol

A friend has been asked to review this as a possible link to working for a dj mag.
All I could say was "good luck!" you cant really say
"well its abit shit, Rival dealer has a few good bits buried under a mountian of shite, forget the other two" so I guess you have to come up with some pesudo intelectual bullshit to pad it out?

Woah woah woah. Unless that's maybe your style of reviewing. Brutal honesty without the padding. Too many pseudo intellectual 'reviewers' in dance music today, maybe a different approach will help you stand out.
I was listening to the CD in my car. People are rattling on about how Burial is a transgender, but I discovered the true hidden meaning. The last vocal is the Lana Wachowski quote and then if you let it loop around again, the next vocal is "I'll love you more than anyone", which if anything, 100% confirms that Burial is going out with Lana Wachowski.

Na m8, if you play it backwards you can clearly hear it says 66 i killed paul walker 6, which confirms hes in Illuminati.
Also if that doesn't convince you (you're quite frankly too far gone into their propaganda) then let me try hit you with this piece of pure evidence.
Nobody finds it suspicious that the don of dubstep collabs with Burial then suddenly the tune is never completed, he has a HD crash and goes to tech house? Loefah tried outing Burial for being apart of the NWO in their collab, the illuminati got wind of it, destroyed the evidence, destroyed his dubs and condemned him to a life of 808.
Some parts are really really good. But you do kind of have to wade through lots of the same stuff he's made before plus random stops and starts to get to them. 2deep4me I think.
My name is Dom and I like making ambientish music and drinking tea. Nice to meet you.
