Right, this is a particularly difficult thing to write, because it's particularly unoriginal. But. Sometimes I really hate the NME with its tabloid gossip writing and supposed championing of new british music.
This article sums up for me entirely the NME's outlook on new, different, music. For once, don't enjoy reading this. Take offense to the fact that because Burial is not already established as a celebrity, the NME are, and i quote, "disappointed" that Burial is in fact "some bloke named Will making bedroom beats...wearing a craig david style hat" and not Damon Albarn, Thom Yorke or Norman Cook.
Thank you for yet again proving that you're far more interested in the image an artist puts forward than diversity and creativity. Grr.

p.s To be fair, they do hate the new Pigeon Detectives track but I'm yet to meet someone whose musical opinion I respect that likes that song. I do however await the review of the Muse/The Streets track with baited breath, could their adoration for a truly awful song be the last straw in an already massive bail of hay that makes me finally give up on the NME? Lets hope not
