Started by pegritz · 10 months ago

Portishead's Third album demonstrates that they must've spent the last ten years idly goofing around in the studio and accidentally came up with a few good songs and a few horrible ones. ... Continue reading »

    I totally agree with SP. I googled "portishead third production" because I was so impressed with the way this album sounds and I felt the need to investigate further!

    "Uneven, Rather Mediocre" is a comment spawned out of nonsense.

    The post author "Derek" has his own opinion on the production quality but I have nice B&W speakers and it sounds fantastic to me. The raw sound only adds to the albums atmosphere. I am also a bit sick of music production that is over the top and over-worked.

    Just thought I'd throw my 2 bobs worth

    I love the new album. It messes with your headspace

    To me it's the best record they've made, and I'm glad they haven't (to my ears) rested on their laurels. The record does seem to unfold as a cohesive piece, and feels to me as quite realized rather than a scattering of undercooked songs.
    Regardless of your opinion, true discovery relies only on true adventure. Making another Portishead 1 or 2 record would negate their validity as real adventurers. They're giving the world what it needs.....less trip hop. I'm the furthest thing from a hardcore fan of this group. I dug the first records a bit but I heard a sample of this one and just had to hear the rest.....namely because of the production.
    It's a real ace lp.........leave yourself open and take care
