·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Untrue is compared to coming back from a night out: scary, serene, and caught between clarity and haze.

1. Hit Record: A Very Unprofessional Album Review Podcast focuses on Burial's 2007 album Untrue. 2. Sam and Ginty host the episode, and Kron is absent because of his wife's birthday, which the hosts joke about several times. 3. The episode seems designed to review Untrue while also preserving the show's recurring detours about vinyl, rankings, and listener counts. 4. Sam says he has bought a limited edition Biffy Clyro vinyl print and plans to mount it rather than play it. 5. The hosts discuss Public Service Broadcasting, including Race for Space, Inform Educate Entertain, and The Last Flight. 6. They note that The Last Flight is about Amelia Earhart and that another band released a similar concept album on the same day. 7. The conversation turns to Planet Coaster 2, which Sam says he is playing a lot after rebuilding his desk and office. 8. Ginty explains that the sequel improves coaster smoothing and other quality-of-life features, but it also runs much worse on hardware. 9. They then shift to Street Fighter 6, where Ginty says he reached Master Rank with Manon. 10. He explains that Street Fighter 6 has Rookie, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Master before Legend. 11. Ginty says Legend is reserved for the top 500 players and that each character has its own rank. 12. He describes how Zangief changes match flow because opponents become jumpy when they fear a grab. 13. Sam and Ginty also talk about a Halo Master Chief Collection mode built around Flood firefight and campaign co-op. 14. Their Burial discussion starts by calling Untrue timeless and influential on electronic producers. 15. They contrast Burial's sound with the common Skrillex image of dubstep. 16. Ginty says Untrue feels like coming back from a night out, with both fear and serenity in the same track. 17. Sam says the album evokes discomfort for him because it recalls a period when he could not make life comfortable. 18. The episode keeps a loose, conversational pace, with interruptions, jokes, and long digressions before the music discussion settles in. 19. Listeners who like album talk mixed with games and comedy will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a straight album review with minimal detours may skip it.
