    Untrue changed my whole perception of electronic music into one of positivity, love and goodness as I was in a dark place at the time of listening, really good tracks within! Nice. Keep up the good work and stellar sound.

        untrue is an absolute classic, one of the best dubstep/ambient albums ive ever listened to
        reminds me of running in the rain

            In reference to variant 12. Smooth, yet anxious, deeply resonant soundscapes that have elusive form and fluidity.

              A melancholic soundtrack to urban landscapes in november evenings. The deliberate roughness and imperfections of the production make this album sound warm, personal and sincere.
              In my mind I often pair "Untrue" with FSOL's "Dead Cities", which is quite different in style, but perfectly complementary.

                Perfect ambience. This album either speaks to you or it doesn't. If you are a night owl, spending time at night thinking, ing... this might be up your alley. Introspective, intentionally imperfect garage - romantic and depressing.

                  When I first got this album when it came out I never thought I'd stop listening to it. Obviously, I have and hardly ever listen to it today. For some reason it hasn't quite lasted as some other great albums (e.g Blue Lines mentioned below), but part of that I think is that it is an album that only real works when its dark, raining and you are on a bus ing through London. What was so great about this album was the way it captured London of the 90s and transported it into the mid 2000s with a sound that was very fresh and (then) unique. It was both fresh and nostalgic. If anyone asked to tell them what London sounded like I'd refer them to this album.

                    When i first listened to this album it sounded a bit strange and with comercial vocal songs, but after listening to this Album several times i end up loving it, most of the musics are very satisfying, very emotional, evoking wide open spaces filled with giant historical buildings and with people going about their business.My favourite tracks are "Endorphin", "etched headplate", "In Mc Donalds" and "Dog Shelter", they are very melodic, melancholic and emotional. "Homeless" is the less satisfying music for me.
                    This is the best Album by Burial. Hope there is more Burial Albums to come.

                      This album probably has more in common with downtempo, IDM, or trip-hop than dubstep, per se. In any case, its one of the most talked about releases of the 2000s, and for good reason. "Archangel" is the crown jewel of the album, but each song is great in its own right. If there's a single criticism to be had, it would be that the album is too homogeneous and is lacking in variety. Nonetheless, it's one of the defining releases of the past decade and a testament to the power of the modern music album. 2012 has arrived and this record is still in the top 10 most sold here on Discogs.
