Why has the artwork changed in the database? I suspect Dev being a vinyl purist here. ;]

This is really good, but I'm not sure if it's as good as his last few EPs.

Very good review Dev, though the writing style seems vastly removed from your last one (heck, it's been over a year). Well-written but not as...accessible?


I definitely agree with this. While I have to appreciate the review as showing a mastery of the English language I can't dream of at this point, it seems kind of obtuse at times, like a well-written but overblown Pitchfork review. For example:

It also provides a degree of breathing space in preparation for ‘Come Down With Us’ , a song that begins with ‘Rival Dealer’ – a crawling piece of dark matter referenced across the entire release, its placement as the last chapter of this piece irrelevant in regards to its role as the nucleus for Burial’s latest paradigm.


Like, I've reread this sentence at least four or five times and only just understood what it means. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm not really sure it fits Sputnik's general demographic as well as it could represent some other sites

Sometimes it's nice to put some effort in. Not every piece of text on the internet has to be digestible in 5 seconds. I mean, I would never be able to write in such a wonderful manner, as English is still my second language, but I like it if I have to concentrate on something. Makes me absorb the thoughts better as well.

I definitely agree with this, and as I said this is a great review. My point is that this style doesn't tend to fit Sput's demographic exactly, and people here will be more likely to read a shorter, less esoteric review
