Customer Review: Popular music thrives on melodrama, especially when it's expressed by a vocalist like Beth Gibbons. The stylized, hyper-magnified fragility of her performances is the biggest strength of Portishead's Third. In "Nylon Smile," she pleads, "I don't know what I've done to deserve you, and I don't know... more info
Customer Review: I've been listening to these guys since their genesis. And I have to say this is their best release yet. That's saying a lot! High quality musicianship, artistic diversity, plus political consciousness equals Thievery Corporation.
Customer Review: By far the best album Portishead has, i ripped the album at 320kbs and have listened to it so much its near 190kbs.

Customer Review: When I purchased "Dummy" as a trip/hop recommendation, I knew I had to have all of the band's albums. When I purchased "Portishead" I knew I was in musical heaven. Overshadowed by it's predecessor, many consider it it's lesser equal. But I disagree. Darker, much more infused with a cinematic... more info
Customer Review: If you're looking to check out Thievery Corporation, this is the place to start. I got into them a few years ago, and this is their best, most consistent album from start to finish. I usually only like around 1/2 of the songs on their albums, but this one has no clunkers. Cosmic Game or Richest Man... more info
Customer Review: Of all the things Jazzanova could have done for a sophomore effort in the seven interminable years since their electro-jazz landmark In Between, they've recorded a soul record. How about that. Granted, these six German producers have been cutting their teeth on soul music and its offshoots with a... more info
