Lovecraft Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just got tickets to see Portishead playing at the CE in April to support the release of their 4th album Third. I managed to DL an advanced copy from the net, anyone else get it yet and what do you think? I think it's quite poor TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnworthyPapaLazaru Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'll try and get an advance copy this evening. How poor is poor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'll try and get an advance copy this evening. How poor is poor? It's like they have tried to be too groundbreaking/experimental. Too much noise, not enough music. Some of the tracks sound like Portishead, but some just sound like noise. One of the tracks just has a tone playing through the whole thing. Gutted, as I love Portishead. You will understand when you hear the first track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Maybe it just needs a few more listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Their first LP was amazing. I saw another post on here regarding the gig and was well up for going until I saw the price of the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, ended up paying ?100 for 2 off Ebay. Is the new tune Machine Gun? Have to say i really like it. Sort of industrial sounding with the high vocal? Made me think of some of Bjork's experimental stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makateer Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I really like it, some really good stuff on it. Not all amazing, maybe 7/10. And by the way, it is their 3rd album, hence the title, Third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 It's their 4th. Roseland NYC Live was third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to DL an advanced copy from the net, anyone else get it yet and what do you think? I think it's quite poor TBH. I was hugely disappointed.

UnworthyPapaLazaru Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I couldnt get my advance copy to come down the wires. I'll have to try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 On first listen, I thought it wasn't up to much. However, I've thought that about loads of new albums from bands I've loved for years (including Portishead's second album!), so I'm prepared to give it a bit of time...

makateer Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It's their 4th. Roseland NYC Live was third. That doesn't exactly count as it was a live album with no new material Pedant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
