Overall crap.
About 60% of their tracks are a strong NC.
Gibbon's voice has that cold pristine poise.
But Portishead don't go anywhere. They just sit and think.
About less than you'd like to believe.
WF 5 for the dope tracks.

My 2nd favorite Portishead beat. IDK, the Lyrics on Threads didn't do it. But that Track is haunting.
I wish the producer(s) would work with other songwriters on his beats.
Maybe even have beth sing the better content if it fit.

Yup. They had 4 major gimmick corny songs on Dummy.
Their sh!t from 97 had the most good tracks.
Does anyone else not feel the lyrics ?
Am I alone ?

The new record is spectacular. Probably better than
Dummy but not quite as good as the self-titled one.
Portishead are one of my favorite bands. My girlfriend and I initially bonded over a mutual love of Portishead. And Skinny Puppy.
In any case, NOT CRAP. No waffle factor.

To me, the lyrics are a major part of Portishead's appeal.

The lyrics are fine, what else would you imagine a bipolar English farm woman would be singing about?

Soup, thanks for posting those Youtube links. I was wondering if Portishead were still as vapid as they were ten years ago, and you've allowed me to confirm my suspicions. Portishead is still a terrible act who make mannered, formulaic, empty music.

So does this make CocoRosie the Portishead of hooker stabbings?
