Burial - Untrue

A quick review.

This album...

• is the product of a mysterious DJ of whom few know the true identity (unless it's Thom Yorke or like, Al Gore, does it really matter?);
• is nominated for the Mercury Prize;
• will likely make dozens of critics' "best of" lists for 2008;
• uses THE SAME BEAT FOR EVERY SONG;
• samples vocals from what seems like a single R&B album for every song (maybe even the same R&B track, who can tell really);
• uses the same three or four effects on every track;
• is enjoyable for about 10 minutes, or one track at a time; and thus,
• is highly over-rated and IMO, not deserving of so much praise.

There. I said it.
