It seems as though the quick release of Untrue restricted Burial from burying his emotions underneath layers of alternatively sparse and overwhelming production as he did on his debut, resulting in an album that instead wears them unabashedly on its sleeve.
-
Untrue is complex, stark, tender, blurred and breathtaking. Burial has managed the impossible and improved on his faultless debut.
-
Untrue deepens and expands his emotional range. [Feb 2008, p.92]
-
What gives this album more depth is the focus, the rolling symmetry and cinema.
-
Needless to say, Untrue shatters any ideas of a sophomore slump.
-
Burial has concocted a noir-ish sound that’s as powerful as it is atmospheric.
-
UncutUntrue is altogether warmer than its predecessor. [Jan 2008, p.87]
