Portishead - Third

Lowk · 03-08-2008, 05:06 PM

For those that weren't aware they have a album of completely new material coming out April 15th.

Another thing to note is...The album which is due out a month and a half from now.....Has leaked.

The transcode isn't the greatest from what i hear but if you are fan...

I can't see why you wouldn't give it a listen regardless....

btw i was going to plug this information into another thread but couldn't see anything on the front page worth bumping that would get enough views...

Love Portishead, very underrated group, I still listen to lots of Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, anything big beat / bristol sound. I have so much of that in my collection from working in record stores in the early to mid 90's. Can't wait for high quality mp3 or the cd for that matter. They kicked more than enough ass back in the day to earn my ten bucks.

Hearing the name Portishead instantly invokes a Pavlovian response in me: suddenly I'm overwhelmed by the smell of patchouli oil. I'm sure they're a great band, but my emo girlfriend in highschool has assuredly ruined them for all time for me.

First time I heard them, was actually.....Mr. Bungle. Patton loves to do covers of Portishead. I checked them out, and sadly only liked a few of their songs. But what I did like, I *really* liked.

For example, Glory Box is the absolute shit

So I downloaded whatever version of Third that is going around, and I have to say its pretty solid. Will definately look for it at release.

Madrugan · 03-15-2008, 12:57 PM

Silence, We Carry On, and Machine Gun are pretty absolutely fantastically amazing.

Kindnugs · 03-16-2008, 12:44 PM

Thanks for the heads up. Now Poe just needs to bring something new out as well.

Thunderbane · 04-30-2008, 01:34 PM

Released yesterday.

Already one of the best releases of 2008.

Every song is absolute genius.

Lowk · 04-30-2008, 08:02 PM

It really blows my mind that a ten year old sound can sound this new.

Cuppycake · 05-01-2008, 12:10 PM

I've been absolutely loving this album too.

Lowk, I think the key point is that it isn't a 10 year old sound. This new stuff is way different than their old stuff. They've really brought their talent and made it current. It's beautiful work.

That is a fair point, none the less in spirit it feels like portishead. What i was trying to say is for a band that hasn't put out a album in 10 years, their ability to create a quality tunes hasn't fallen off. Somehow, the band has such a timeless sound that the quality of their musicianship isn't bound to 1998.

Who digs what songs?

Machine Gun for me, since it is a such a contrasted song.

Thunderbane · 05-01-2008, 04:56 PM

I'm a "Machine Gun" fan too, especially when heard right after "Deep Water"

Aside from the above, I think "We Carry On" does it in for me, that and "The Rip"

Let's just go with "We Carry On", "Deep Water" & "Machine Gun". That middle chunk of the album

But at this point, my favorite song will likely change 6 more times before coming to a conclusion. Third is so terrific.

Llama · 05-04-2008, 02:15 AM

there isnt a band song on this album. i cannot believe these guys still had it in them. Machine Gun got to me first...man that is some raw shit right there..that drum beat and then the synth at the end...i can't stop listening. They weren't fucking around on this record.
