I'm so excited about this!! I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. Welcome back, Portishead!

I've had the album for about a month, as it leaked quite a while ago..

I felt it was quite an anti-climax, but I knew deep down it would never be anything quite like "Dummy", which to me is simply fantastic throughout..

"Third" is a VERY dark album..
If I listen to it a few more times, I may grow to like it, but I am not too sure.. We shall see!

ooh yay, comes out this weekend, no? Can't wait to hear it, already love Machine Gun.

I was disappointed.
...
I didn't want J:M to be right. But i was sorely disappointed with the album.

Eh, it's a shame that after a decade, they were to produce such a poor release

I actually love the album. Its not as great as "Dummy" but it's not a piss poor release. I actually like music that has a "dark" element to it so thats a plus for me.

This album is the closest thing to a trip to the dark side I've ever heard in my life.

It's incredible chilling but erotic at the same time.

Like nothing you've ever experienced before.
