• Just awful
  I was really excited when I heard that Portishead had released a new album.
  The whole thing sounds like a half baked effort. I listened to it one time and then tossed it in the trash.
  Yuch

• Temporary Ear Candy - But Deficient In Center
  I cannot say that i'm a fan of Discordinant sound.
  Many a musical snob calls this intelligent music.
  I call it noise.
  It doesn't take rocket science to create garbles of mathematical

  Not in the fact that it is indeed so unlike old Portishead, but that it lacks in any firm tonal center for much of the duration.

• Holding on to an edge
  Like so many belated follow ups, the pioneering "trip hop" act's self-explanatory release feels partially out of touch, but perhaps that has benefits when the experimentation commences in earnest. The entire process can shift from sounding effortlessly fresh to hopelessly contrived a little too jarringly.

• A 5 Star Masterpiece - #1 for 2008
  I have been a Portishead fan from the start and at first I was a little uneasy with the heavyness of the music on this Third disc. Now that I have listened to it over 200 times, I must say it is my #1 pick of 2008. Portishead continues to evolve and this is the future. They are the top of the "trip hop" food chain and as for the other reviews that dogged this "don't you evah," and you wouldn't know good music if it beat you toa pulp. This is a work of Art and deserves the highest of recognition. Buy it,... more info
