- Love it!
Another mesmerizing album from Portishead - long overdue, but so worth the wait. Her voice is as haunting and beautiful as ever.
Rating:
- Needs a few listens to get it
When I first listened to this my initial thought was 'What the ...'. It is quite different to their earlier works, less cohesive, more like a work in progress where there is a mix of ideas waiting final editing.
There are some extremely fine songs on this CD. In fact some of the best ones Portishead have made.
No-one that I have played this CD for has been impressed on the first listen, but after listening to it a few times it becomes a favourite.
Rating: - Plastic endings
The usual ultimate sacrifice to a pool of depression is that of Portishead. Known for their classic older 60s and 70s and synthesized mixture, they get more acoustic at times, vary more in synthesizers, and Beth Gibbons is still her unusual weepy like voice that is Beth Gibbons.
Some of the songs tend to be repetitive such as Hunter or have more of a pop melody, particularly The Rip. Some songs feel like they ended too soon. Nylon Smile arguably so, Silence is a bit repetitive, but has enough of a build to flow, but ends too abruptly.
Small puts you to sleep.
Rating: - pretty effing great
this is a solid album that lives up to the hype. i'd have given it 5 stars, but i'm overly fond of the older portishead stuff.
Rating: - Better than I Ever Could have Expected
Portishead do not let any fans down with this album. Beth Gibbons and members pick up musically right where they left off. It has the same interesting, strange transcendent quality that musicians(good musicians) end up maturing to after years of playing together. This CD was well worth the wait and possibly one of Portishead's best albums. Their songs master the hazy keyboard smoky melodic sounds, the sound that fans love them for doing.
The album opens with "Silence", which is the perfect song to begin because the band has been "silent" over the years by not releasing anything or touring. Kind of ironic. Also along with the sound of dark pianos, you hear Gibbons' mysterious melodic vocals. "Nylon Smile" is a great song because of it's creepy buildup, tribal percussion and seductive imagery. "Machine Gun" is the typical Portishead sound that made you fall in love with them. Then you have "Hunter", which is heightened by computer sounds and has a sense of misery to it. The album finishes with "Threads", which has the same great musicianship and captivating vocals. Portishead's Third is a great successor to their amazing debut of Dummy many years ago.
