If slow and/or relaxing dubstep is your thing, or you just want something really chill to put in the background while chatting with friends, you might wanna check this out. Personally, just not what I'd hoped for.
Rating: 67/100 |
I think 67/100 is harsh. You already addressed it so you clearly understand that rating an album by comparing it to another one that you hoped it would sound like is not the best system. In my opinion it's the worst possible system. You may not like this as much as Untrue but there's no good reason to compare them.
Judged on its own merits I think the album is worth a lot more than 67/100.
Anyway, it's interesting that you like 'Earth A Kill Ya'. Instead of the reedy-voiced poet who does vocals on most of Waiting For You - these vocals are by Roger Robinson who did a bunch of the vocals on London Zoo by The Bug - which is another project (much heavier dubstep - I guess) by Kevin Martin who is also King Midas Sound.
Anyway, I love the KMS album - but the bigger point is that, if you want some livelier dubstep you need to check out The Bug if you haven't already - just don't compare it to Burial
