On his final EP before releasing his self-titled debut LP, Burial gives a nice sampler of what the general sound would be like on the full-length (brooding, dark, atmospheric) without giving the best parts of it away. Understandably, this leads to an EP that, while definitely solid, is a bit inconsequential, as the only track that doesn't appear on his self titled is a Kode9 remix of "Distant Lights". "Pirates" and "Gutted" are both decent tracks, but they flow much better in the context of the self-titled. The title-track, which would be the first true song on the self-titled, is just as good in this context. Essentially the EP, in short, does its job of being a teaser, and is nice enough in and of itself.
