Advantages: Some interesting tracks, absolute sound control
Disadvantages: One of Venetian's weakest efforts/collaborations

...Aaron are often misunderstood. Making Orange Things is not his first album, to dispell a myth you may have came accross on the Web. It is in fact his 2nd CD release. His first ever release on the CD format was an album with the obscure title: Printf ("shiver in eternal darkness/n"). Making Orange Things is not a particularly good album but it does have some very interesting sections. The problem with M.O.T is that it seems to stay focused on the ...
...It is very frustrating when you compare this to other albums like Songs About my Cats, Chocolate Wheelchair Album or Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett.

Advantages: Excellent mixing, sampling, lyrics and blend of an album
Disadvantages: The argument of "What is Dubstep and is this it?"

Basically, dubstep is a genre, which has its influence from the London's garage scene in early 2000 and also a drum and bass feel towards it. But, if you're still confused, then Untrue is a good template ...
...this album with others is difficult, if you're going towards the direction of Massive Attack or Boards of Canada, I would say it's a mash up between those two artists, but, simply put, Untrue is its own unique sound, and its dubstep, but if you are still unsure, who cares. ... Read review
