Untrue, categorised as a dubstep album and described as a tribute to UK garage,[REF] retains several musical elements which marked the sound of Burial, including heavy use of sampling and Burial's trademark skipped drum patterns [REF].
Dan Hancox of The Guardian noted that while Untrue is "still distinctly DIY, some of the melancholy of Burial's debut has dissipated on this new album, which is more heavily loaded with garage-inflected vocals, and more upbeat as a consequence."[REF]
