"Burial has two full length studio albums to his name. Both are classics and game-changers in the genre of minimalist electronic music. He is undoubtedly the benchmark electronic artist of today. But here we have what I believe are two of his best albums, both EPs, combined into a full length albu..." [+] Reply

"First class album. Very frustrating to see a rating of just 5%. I mean come on...obviously you haven't listened to the album or simply detest this genre; either way posting scores like that give an artificially low overall rating for those of us who do enjoy it." Reply
"I totally agree with alexgane, except for the best songs..... I love 'curse the night', and 'you hit me' also. Bottom line is this band (2 members), is very good. They have many other albums just as good... Highly underrated on this site." Reply

"A definitive collection of the best dance tracks of 2012 by Calvin Harris. Awesome Collaborations: Kelis, Dizzee Rascal, Ne-Yo, Florence Welch, Ellie Goulding, Tinie Tempah, Rihanna. Amazing songs: Bounce, We Found Love, Sweet Nothing, Let's Go, Feel So Close. What more is there to say?" Reply
"If they took the best tracks from Uno, Dos, and Tre, and combined them to one long album, this would rank up with their best releases. Unfortunately, there are quite a few weak tracks throughout this trilogy. Still, the trio makes for a good party compilation, and contains some killer songs." Reply
"This album starts off with sleigh bells' version of a 80s hair metal crowd warmer before opening up into a typical sleigh bells riff and beat. It's a confusing open to an album that attempts a little tempo variety and loses rockin' appeal as a result. They don't even sound like their debut until ..." [+] Reply
