Anyone into Portishead??? 'Cause I am and shit that a great album. Most of the time, bands waiting that long between albums are not able to recreated the magic. Not in their case. Every song are solid and they still have that "dramatic" feel to their songs.

    Well, I'm about half way through it and I like it. Don't know if I love it like the other two yet. I read reveiws, which is always a bad idea, and they said it was hard to listen to a first. I certainly don't agree with that. Its different than previous Portishead, but may be something that is more accessible at first, IMO. The beats and overall sounds doesn't sound as depressing as earlier PH. Its got the wierdness of the other two albums, but slightly more up beat. On song 6 now, I like it.

    I have to admit that I don't look at reviews too much... but it's one of the first time that I see Pitchforkmedia.com giving a high grade: 8.5!!! I know, it's a bad example; most of the time, they're a bunch of snobs!!!

    But overall, every song's just great. I haven't stopped listining to it, with the new NIN
