There's always the rush/push to anoint the 'chosen one' in December 2007...

I'm only feeling about half the tracks, which was the same case with the first album. I think I am the only one who doesn’t love the Burial album all the way through.

It's kind of incredible now that the bigger records are crossing over, but still trying to keep the pose (a silhouetted burial, pinch is from way out in bristol and skulldisco is just chewin' at the margins). burial, though, has tweaked the sonic intensity of dubstep and just let it fade. i think of him like brakhage leaving his film out in the garden for a couple months - the bass becomes all flat and everything feels lost. great stuff. i really kind of wonder about the dubstep bandwagon - the genre has adopted, mythologized and fetishized the outsider role for so long… It’s kind of incredible now that the bigger records are crossing over, but still trying to keep the pose (a silhouetted burial, pinch is from way out in bristol and skulldisco is just chewin’ at the margins).
