Portishead
Third
8.0
Probably the most anticipated album of the year, Portishead returns after an 11 year hiatus to give us Third. Stunningly it's unlike any Portishead you've ever heard, actually darker than their previous outings, however jettisoning the trip hop of Dummy and Portishead. This is a band that has matured and changed and brought their music with them. The lonely ukulele driven "Deep Water" takes the prize for most unexpected song of the year. While the album is interesting and introspective, it's, I think, a grower that has yet to really grow on me. Enjoyable to the end, but never addicting.
