New Portishead album (tickets, genre, album, fan, doors)

haveyouheard · 02-15-2008, 04:07 PM

So it looks like Beth Gibbons and the trio called Portishead are finishing up a new album called "Third." I was a huge fan of Dummy, and I thought their self titled album was good.

As with any band coming together so long after their initial productive period I'm apprehensive about how the album will turn out. I love the trip hop classics they made in the 90's, but how will their sound have changed after the genre they helped create has influenced and been influenced by the music that came after it.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm, this could be very interesting. Dummy was basically a masterpiece though I'm not deeply into trip-hop, I want to see where they go from here.

Thanks for the track listing. It looks like the song titles are similar to old portishead stuff.

I'm looking for the leak as we speak.
