inspired. the only word that adequately describes the naming of portihead's long overdue third album. third.
i'm little late to the party, the album was released last month to glowing reviews. it is very good. bit overrated. the trip hop trio have slightly altered their sound opting for an even more chilled vibe, sleepy almost. the building grandeur of the first two LPs is gone however, the epic emotional swells of tracks like "roads" are noticably absent. no, this album is moving in a subtler fashion, beth gibbon's haunting vocals chill the senses in a way very similar to thom york's spooky crooning on radiohead's "nude".

Am I missing something in your commentary, or isn't the name of the CD "P3"? Not "third." Don't mean to quibble, just curious. Liked the post and thanks for the tunes!
Sorry...you are right. It IS Third and that is kinda crappy. Great music, tho'! (I still like P3.)
