I must say, it's truly disheartening to see so many who don’t realize how game changing this EP is. Sure the first track, Rival Dealer, starts off like a typical Burial track with ambience and spoken word samples, but then the beats kick in and something revolutionary happens. Honestly, it’s like Burial has created some sort of new genre on this song, like “speed dubstep” or something. On “Hiders”, Burial crafts a sort of futuristic, ambient, uplifting RnB influenced style which already sounds ahead of it’s time. Then, we get to the closing track, “Come Down To Us”, a 13+ progressive musical masterpiece incorporating many atonal and atypical elements from non-Western music. There is also a continued RnB influence on this track. But don’t be deceived, this is a very challenging and experimental piece of music. Songs flow in an out in a medley of emotions and noises. Words cannot describe the magnitude of this track, which, cliché as it sounds, must be heard to be believed. This truly is the sound of the future; Burial isn’t innovating so much as he showing us a glimpse of the already established future of music.
Here's the EP, if you think you're ready for it. Be warned, this next 28 minutes will undoubtedly alter musical history as we know it and may even change the way you perceive music:

Haha nice try faggot. Anthony Fantano already reviewed this track, and objectively spelled out why it's shit.
It's a fucking Christmas choir album

There's nothing atonal about Come Down To Us loser
>muh hardcore
>muh neurofunk
>muh 80s synthpop
>muh punjabi christmas music
>muh autotune and tranny vocal samples
>mixing job sounds muddy as shit in the low end and mastered with the typical loudness war "brickwalling" compression
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that this is by far Burial's worst release ever?

an interesting thing about "come down to us" - at the 4:20 minute mark there is an obscure sample i would only have recognized from playing an MMO called EVE Online for several years of my life, it's from the game's soundtrack. that's probably the one thing that's stuck with me about this release.

The only problem I have with Burial is his imitators
>>65347272
i found this EP very enjoyable, but holy fucking shit that tranny sample at the end made me cringe to hell. there was little need for that.
