Track List

Beyond the sonic resemblances and a shared aura of desolation, there are other parallels between Burial and Joy Division. Both released startling, out-of-nowhere debuts that introduced a revelatory sound that felt visual, making your ears gaze into the distance. Both followed those up with immaculate sequels that completed and perfected the initial statement. Neither released a third studio album—although in Burial’s case, that remains a (seemingly faint) possibility. Untrue is the second and most recent studio album by British electronic music producer Burial. Released on 5 November 2007 by Hyperdub, the album was produced by Burial in 2007 using the digital audio editing software Sound Forge. Untrue builds on the sound established by Burial on his eponymous debut album from the previous year, notably through its more prominent use of pitch-shifted and time-stretched vocal samples. The album, like Burial's previous work, also draws on influences from UK garage, ambient, and hardcore music. Smith, Lee (19 December 2007). "RA Poll: Top 10 albums of 2007". Resident Advisor.

The mix of vocals and skipped drum patterns on Untrue has been likened to 2-step garage and early jungle music. [2] Dan Hancox of The Guardian wrote that while the album is "still distinctly DIY, some of the melancholy of Burial's debut has dissipated on [ Untrue], which is more heavily loaded with garage-inflected vocals, and more upbeat as a consequence." [2] Dave Stelfox of The Village Voice expressed a similar sentiment, noting a "shift from dystopian melancholy to restrained optimism." [13] Critics have noted that the increased emphasis on vocal effects on Untrue over his previous works contributes to its more emotional nature. [11] Pitchfork critic Philip Sherburne wrote that Untrue is "not a pop album, at least not by Top 40 standards, but his voices—male, female, and ambiguous—wriggle deep into the listener's consciousness." [7] Burial uses pitch-shifting to make male vocals sound feminine and female vocals sound masculine, resulting in the album's vocals taking on a more androgynous nature. [1] Sherburne stated that "they toy with r&b's conventions, heavy with breath and rippling with trills and melisma, some of it digitally imposed." [7] The 100 Best Albums of the Aughts".

Their debut 'The Killing Jar', which was released in 2012, was hailed by many as 'one of the best debut album's you'll hear all year' - it even made it onto Kerrang's top 50 albums of the year. Now with an expanded (guitar) lineup to expand the riffage comes the follow up, 'Condemned To Hope.' In the years following its release, Untrue has since been viewed as a landmark album in the dubstep genre, and in electronic music in general. In a 2017 article, Pitchfork called the album "the most important electronic album of the century so far".a b Reynolds, Simon (17 September 2008). "Elbow, Burial receive Mercury sales boost".

Untrue appeared on numerous publications' year-end and decade-end top albums lists. Based on aggregated review scores, Untrue is ranked the most acclaimed album of 2007—tied with The Field's From Here We Go Sublime—by Metacritic. [32] Resident Advisor and Sputnikmusic named it the best album of the year, [33] [34] while it was ranked the year's second best album by Fact and The Wire. [35] [36] Untrue also placed within the top ten of year-end best album lists by The Observer and Pitchfork, [37] [38] as well as at number 27 on The Village Voice 's year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll. [39] In his Pazz & Jop ballot, poll creator Robert Christgau ranked it the tenth best album of the year. [40] The album was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2008, losing to Elbow's The Seldom Seen Kid. [41] It was also nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize, which was eventually awarded to Feist's The Reminder. [42] Untrue experienced a 1004% sales increase in the week following the Mercury Prize awards ceremony, [41] allowing it to re-enter the UK Albums Chart and reach a new peak of number 58. [43] The critical and commercial success of Untrue prompted Burial, whose identity until then had been anonymous, to disclose his real name—William Bevan—and give out interviews to the media.

I've just explained to you a night that I experienced only a couple of weeks ago. One might wonder why people would decide to write about such unnecessary things in place of where a review for an album should be. But to be frank, not a single word or thought expressed here is off-topic; for you see, it was at the moment that I had this beautiful and wondrous senior year memory that I yearned to hear Untrue. A certain user once said that Burial isn't a band that you listen to while partying, but rather is a gem that you should reserve for the ride home after the party. Quite personally, I was reminded of his words when I realized my present state, and I made a date with myself to have it turned on as soon as I would get into bed. I only prayed that the feeling wouldn't be diminished from the hours inbetween.
