REVIEW
Okay, so the long awaited followup to Burial's highly acclaimed Untrue may not quite top what he did 12 years ago, but from front to back this is a far more impressive and ambitious record, spanning 2 and a half hours and taking more than half an hour before you get to anything resembling his signature beats. No, this album is an entirely new animal, a compilation of the increasingly experimental and ambient works he's been putting out for the last 8 years that comes together in a shockingly cohesive and conceptual way, creating a quiet but tortured listening experience that delves into mental health without physically saying much at all. Even if it isn't Burial's strictly best album, this is his magnum opus.
