i don't think it's officially released yet, but my friend sent me the whole album last night, and i'm listening to it now. it's good to hear beth's voice again.

 

any portishead love around here? geoff barrow is a genius in my opinion.

I listened to Third yesterday and thought it was rubbish.

Sure, it was first listen but it seemed old, boring, uninspired.

The best moment is a track with a 20's feel and a ukelele backing. That was a glimmer of inspiration.

The album makes a comeback seem totally redundant.

 

My advice is to content yourself with the other two albums. :(

my thoughts exactly. I liked their old stuff but was never that into them. Listened to the new album a couple of times and it just stays meh.

I think if the same album came out 5 or 6 years ago it would have been groundbreaking. In the past 10 years though so many people have borrowed from the model that Portishead established that this just feels like someone with a drum machine trying too hard to sound like Portishead.
