I thought the first album was great, the second album good, but the third is unlistenable. Apparently, I've left the 90's behind, but Portishead hasn't. This album is destined to be the soundtrack of suburban goth parties everywhere.

haven't the Old 97's been in a holding pattern since 1999's "Fight Songs"?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

No, they've left those pop leanings behind and returned to their countryish roots. And xountry music is timeless baby.

Holy Moses -- a sonick sighting!
 
 I really, really am digging Third. Start at track 6, the album is insanely backloaded.

co-signing. plus, i think that the album is more for fans of trippy, industrial and/or psychedelic rock music in general than just straight-up Portishead head fans themselves. It appears that they (namely Geoff Barrow) has moved more towards their rock influences. I mean -- there are barely any traces to hip-hop (namely scratches) on this album which is amazing by itself to me. I can definitely hear a lot of stuff like Silver Apples, Faust, Can, Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, even latter end goods -- like Radiohead, Bjork production in this album.
 
 Oh yeah - I dig the whole thing, but "Plastic" is just plain classic Portishead. And and...is it just me, but every P album has amazing closing tracks (the last two of each one)?? Hah
