fumi 335 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Considering the talent involved, these are some truly lame-ass tracks. Burial still has time to redeem himself with that traditional pre-Christmas Eve drop. Link to post Share on other sites
endera3rd 36 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So negative lol Link to post Share on other sites
manmower 515 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 lol @ Yorke backlash I've found him annoying for the past twenty years or so. I think him whining all over that PJ Harvey album was the drop for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Boxus 186 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I like Her Revolution quite a bit but the other track isn't doing much for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Thom's voice is incredibly high in the mix. was expecting a lot more from these tracks, at least ego/mirror is still somewhat obtainable on discogs..scalpers got to this new one haaaard *edit* just checked discogs and ego/mirror is not obtainable wtf, it was like 30 quid before this new one came out...fuckin scalpers Edited December 5, 2020 by mause Link to post Share on other sites

Richie Sombrero 234 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Heard this track on Gilles Peterson's show. Really don't know why they bothered. It's like taking the worst elements of all 3. I'd forgotten it before it had even finished. Link to post Share on other sites
manmower 515 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I reckon His Rope would be decent if not for the vocals. Link to post Share on other sites
endera3rd 36 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Why are people holding this to such a high standard? i guess the answer is they have all individually made tracks that are far more effective separately. its weird that if it doesn’t meet some kind of standard you consider it bad. imagine it’s just friends doodles. They can be precious but not necessarily perceived as amazing works of art. They aren’t pushing this. It’s black label releases of a couple tracks separated by several years time. With zero hype. enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely zero, they literally didn't want anybody hear it -- this black labeled nothing with Thom Yorke's whining all over it -- stupid internet unexpectedly got its claws on it.
