Burial - Untrue ALBUM REVIEW 

Burial making this album with SoundForge is like trying to build a jet engine with a hammer.

Thats a myth lmao

Scummrs, how do you know?

@@foreverunknown369 no its not he said he didnt use a daw anyway

Thanks

Plus those choir-like vocals in Archangel are sampled straight from the MGS2 intro cutscene.

@MajorJew it's based off of holding a button/trigger during the opening menu. It alters the menu, so you could search mgs2 menu Easter eggs or something

Resident Advisor has a video on Untrue and what makes it so cool and what samples are used. The mgs sample is in there, as well as many others. I HIGHLY recommend that video if you like to the album.

Nils Westhoff that video was showed to me and was what got me into Burial.

@MajorJew i think its either when Snake jumps from the bridge or when he spots the Kasatka

Wouldn't even limit it to the UK, cities around the world had the same vibes back then

Shit, you could say it fits perfectly today.

@@luiscontreras2177 no definitely a uk vibe

You put it into perfect words

@@sesesese6218 works for Dublin too for sure

@@machorkamuff5184 it's a joke you fucking troglodyte

@@poopyfartman9574 2010 will be your year too don't worry it's not good to be so anxious of the future my friend.

Cokedup Normies oh yea your right

Couldn't agree more my friend. Not just London, but the UK tone in general of the 2000s era. Whether you are in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Truro, Edinburgh or heck even Cardiff, this album hits hard because it depicts that time of the UK's bleak, dark, grey and rainy era perfectly.

@@Lunar_Pendragon Wouldnt even limit it to the UK. Over in Berlin, Barcelona and so on people had the same experiences

Perfectly well said. He bottled an essence.

@@knecht6974 to me this is the sound of fall / winter 2008 in Berlin. And countless nights ever since.

Same experience in Bucharest, Sunday morning after clubbing getting the first bus home at 5 a.m. and feeling like shit. Burial is pretty much a universal urban experience. But of course, pertaining more to British cities.

Yes although really burials influence on ppl like James blake is as just one (admittedly big) part of the general wave of dubstep and other London/UK dance sounds associated with labels such as hyperdub, xl, hotflush etc. as well as nights like fwd and dmz. If dubstep hadn't started waning in popularity (around the same time as the v dif us genre w same name started) I imagine that the bass music scene w jb mk etc could have turned out quite differently

Wot do u call it? Urban? 2 step? Garage?

@@BassssicBasssssssss Garage. I don't care about garage.

Die Younger They’re lyrics from a song 🙄

@@jakew7982 I know. Its the next line from Wot Do U Call It by Wiley.

I'm about to dive in

Yes.

reverse One-Punch Man moment

@@poopyfartman9574 haha funny jojo

Because he knows that mentioning Archangel the video could end after 5 seconds of reviewing with a classic/10.

It's not even top 3 on this album tbqh

@@silseh yes it is

My thought exactly.

havent listened to this in a while but untrue, etched headplate and raver are all at least better

Eric Boyd YES!

Yee

ye

@brokenupbeat Not really

brokenupbeat NO.

TPAB classic review

Have one on me classic review

@@-natdog-9516 Why would he review an album that came out in 2004 as part of the 2010s classic reviews?

Thanks 🐝

Actually it’s vice versa, most of the vocals on untrue are from the original tracks by the original singers

There is a sample of Christina Arguilera on Archangel. You’ll know when you here.

Shes sampled on ghost hardware as well

@@Liquidchoir let me guess, the 'ohooohoohhoo'

Too bad his newer stuff hasn't been great.

P H you better not mean Kindred or Rough Sleeper

@@alexmeechan15 I love those EP's, Rival Dealer was the start of his decline IMO.

P H completely agree

@@rupe82 Mirror / Ego is always shoved under the rug despite those two tracks being great

Bristol, UK. It's a rainy day, cold, grey, bleak, dingey, like every day in the UK. I'm currently sood outside a McDonalds. Alone. I lost all my friends recently, we used to hang out here. But now, I'm here, all alone. I quite like being alone, honestly. I must say, as an introvert, although I enjoy solitude, enjoy being by myself, enjoy doing my own thing without social responsibility, I do feel loneliness. I do miss the times I used to come to McDonalds with my friends, after a day out in the city, going to the cinema, shopping, just having a chat, having fun. I guess, while I stand here, in Bristol, UK, outside a McDonalds, reminiscing on those times, I'm a different person now, and I can't relive those friendships and those events of my past. I would like some friends again, though, it would be rather nice. Ultimately, I'd like go out with them, where I no longer feel like I don't fit in, where social anxiety isn't a struggle, where I'm no longer an introvert. Maybe, just maybe, one day I can rejoice with people in a McDonalds again. It's only a simple request. Only a simple one.

One of the tracks on it is literally called In McDonald's

yes

tru omfg

I don't think he likes it that much tbh

@@elsiemabel That's not a requirement perse. The album has been very influential, which he has acknowledged before.

I’m not quite enough of a superfan to tell you the exact video but he’s called it “one of the best instrumental hip-hop albums ever”

Me either

YES! why hasn't this been done already?

Need

I just checked out the album and damn I’m loving it so far thanks for the recommendation!

@@neighborhoodkids2000 What's awesome about Mezzanine is that it's over 20 years old but it sounds like it could have been made today.

@@rupe82 It sounds like it could have been made 40 years from today and at the same time, it is how I remember 90's sounded like. Technology but not in-your-face-whoah-dude kinda futurism, a clean and pristine mess of black white and green hues, it's all there and it's timeless.

Black flannel means classic.

Cokedup Normies thanks buddy

Didn't he also wear a black flannel for X's skins review ?

@@CultureDTCTV it was obviously a classic, right?

It’s uk flannel

Had a similar experience, was writing my dissertation in my uni library and thought I’d give it a go whilst I did some research. Got nothing done the rest of the afternoon as I had it on loop and the January weather made me completely dissociate.

Amazing

You literally copied the text word for word from the Resident Advisor video on Untrue

@@welcome2wyzard lol ikr I was gonna comment this

This shit was done on fruit loops

Exactly my thoughts, not only does it give the album a beautiful syncopated swing but as someone who dabbles in production a bit myself gets me thinking 'how the FK did he even do it'? Also Melon fails to mention the huge influence mid 90's DnB releases on labels like Metalheads and Reinforced has on his sound

I still hold this as a myth. I mean, sure, the rhythms seem like they are off-grid, but they are so minimalistically off-grid that there must have been a grid he used. Otherwise this couldn't have been done. And how on earth did he process the sounds used on this. I don't think soundforge allows for creating and mixing sounds. If he used SF, he must have used some post-procession afterwards.

It's not a myth but it's also astonishing that he did all that within two weeks

@@KommentarSpaltenKrieger you can merge sounds together in soundforge. you can also time them out in equal length sections, a lot of his stuff is sampled. You can apply effects plugins in soundforge the same way u would in a daw. Honestly I dont think he needs to apply that many effects because its mostly just sampling stuff thats already heavily processed. Example, you want something to land at the same time as the snare in a loop. You highlight the loop all the way up to the snare, copy it, paste it into a new sound, mute it all, and then paste the sound you want on the end. Its now got a space at the start thats exactly the same length as the bit of the loop all the way up to the snare. Now you just merge the 2 sounds together and ur new sound will be exactly on the snare. If you want a grid you just paste 16 hats together in a row right? if u know the time between them all then u can work out the time stuff has to land etc. It can be done, its not as hard as I think it sounds. I just dunno why anyone would bother when u can just grab a hooky copy of ableton tbh.

@@KommentarSpaltenKrieger mixing sounds is pretty much the point of soundforge, soundforge is a sound design tool

xxxhentaicion such a great opener

couldn't be alone

@Rough Sleeper About as classic as berserk.

Untrue.

It definitely made everybody think. The jungle connection needs mentioning here though.

3D KURLS yeah idk about that one

steppa money which is?

jammadamma 😂😂😂

wot u call it?

was hoping to find this comment in here somewhere

Гараж

Canada: groj

"Homeless"

"House"

"music"

"people"

"🤔"

butter boi How do you know he’s not just doing it for classic week, since it’s a classic intro? 😏

RebelBlockadeRunner that may be true, i hope it isn’t though

butter boi I hope so too 🙏🏿

That fucking intro is retro as it’s own hype

AAAAAAAHHHH

IKR

that's necessary

Please please please

It's out!

Wow what a great story. Sometimes life in memory is like cinema.

@@mrcheckhammmer life in memory is like cinema. what a way of putting it. nice one.

everyone i showed burial to said it was weird or depressing lol

Not to sound patronising, but how?

Dont you mean the outro from shell of light? Anyway, stunning album front ro back.

Cool that Burial's mom answers comments on fantanos channel

@Rough Sleeper thanks mummm

J M whoa... not even the best Burial release, let’s not get carried away

Yeah except this isn't Music Has The Right To Children

@@sammo2560 I love both but untrue is just better

No, that's Mezzanine. But seriously, there's a lot of albums better than Untrue.

P H oh shit yeah true I guess I never consider Massive Attack a true electronic band.

Your dad is kode9?

Could you send him my new record? ;-)

Really? Congrats. I want a tshirt. And a photo With Burial, Kode9 and Mary Anne Hobbs hahah

@@MaigretJules I haven't met anyone that works at the label but I do sometimes get prototype merch. I guess I'm lucky because they do have some nice looking merch

@@faboolean7039 and your dad what do? Sorry for many questions... i really love Burial's music and admire Hyperdub a lot

@@djvibekiller it makes the channel more entertaining. If everyone's having a civil conversations, it'll get boring. Fantano loves the memes.

I think it's cause a lot of his audience listen to popular artists, particularly hip-hop ones(nothing wrong with that) and don't know what to say when something even slightly less popular is reviewed

What amazing radio station do you listen to lol

Literally

And if not that then at least The Fragile.

@𝓛𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓲𝓷 𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓷 I know Anthony has said he loves The Black Parade so it's possible we get a review. I love it as well so i hope we do

Great album except for Teenagers and the title track. Seems like MCR releases only reverse albums in that their radioplayed songs are not as good as the rest of their tracklists.

Yes

Such a guilty pleasure.

I just want somekind of Emo Classic really.
