Portishead is Back!

Wow! Just got done listening to the newest Portishead disc. After a 10yr absence, the trio (Beth Gibbons, Adrian Utley, and Geoff Barrow) have returned.

And return they did! A fantastic disc that does not disappoint. It would have been easy to release some garbage, and take the money- leaving relevance and innovation on the table.

However, the effort on this disc, "Third" as they titled it, is not lacking. The textures and complexities of the first two discs continue into this one.

Portishead, thank you for working so hard to get this right. It is well worth the wait.
