Cover of Burial Archangel

[skunktech]

Really good!

She's amazing.

[Figment]

it's good it isn't cringeworthy.. i don't really feel it though, reckon a slower tempo to really bring through the emotion in the performance could make this something serious, something just doesn't seem right with this.. it might literally be that the original is a masterpiece.

I thinik it's a very annoying cover. Vocals are not suits to song.

[topmo3]

it's fucking useless, why would you try to vocally cover a track with not actual lyrics but mangled vocal snippets, it doesn't make sense. also wtf is up with the panning going left to right all the time. wouldn't either recognize the track without the vocals so where are those chords coming from

[MrReplay]

This is amazing, thank you

[wwwmoo]

This girl thinks she is way better at singing than she actually is. This is terrible, 1 shitty take and then loop it for five minutes?

The panning could be a little more subtle... but overall, I love it.

gerbege.

Think I prefer it to the original, but probably because I really hate the way Burial uses vocals. I'm not much of a burial fan but I think I maybe could be if he made more instrumental stuff.

The vocal panning in this is really annoying though

Pretty sure the subject has been well covered there

I'm definitely not alone on this forum thinking that Burial is overrated

[Lichee]

The thing is it's all opinion.

Apart from saying Burial is overrated/not good that's incorrect you can't say that.

wut

Of course it's my opinion, what else would it be?

Anyway, to elaborate, I generally find that Burial's vocal samples usually sound like they've been haphazardly slapped on and end up being pretty non-cohesive with the rest of the track - but not in an interesting and experimental way, it just sounds like lazy unthoughtful production to me. I think this song works better and makes much more sense to me with a live vocalist.

I feel the complete opposite of this.

But as you said it's all opinion.

[Anjin]

I like the idea, think it could be more developed. It sounds okay though.

i'm kidding of course it's all opinion, it's just for me I consider Burial being great closer to fact than opinion, it's either you like Burial, or you haven't listened to him properly.

"this song works better and makes much more sense to me with a live vocalist" - the beauty of Burials vocals is the short clips, pitching and repetition, it means it never sounds like a vocalist, you don't know who's singing it, if it's male or female, a girl or a woman or where the vocals came from. They sort of support the entire track, the tune doesn't become about a singer.

Burial's production is definitely not lazy and unthoughtful, i'm not sure we're listening to the same music here.
