Just got this, and so far its pretty awesome. Mysterons, Glory Box, and Roads are all excellent. The rest is good, but just hasn't grabbed me yet I guess. Still a great album to pop in and just chill out to.

Careful relisten today. "It's A Fire" and "Roads" ruin album.

roads is amazing.



i wonder if anybody has given portishead offers to do soundtracks for porn. that would not actually be too degrading for them.

Fuck it, bumped to a 5. Probably the best trip hop release ever.

It's A Fire is cool and really bad at the same time, it kinda ruins the darkish flow but is kinda uplifting idk.



Wandering Star, Numb, Roads, are all bad, which really hurts the album when they're back to back. Even the rest of the album is pretty mediocre in general when compared to stuff like Mezzanine or Endtroducing. I'm gonna re-listen, but this is a tad overrated imo.

oh and the bass isn't mixed well at all, it always cracks when listening on headphones.

Roads is a perfect song to listen to late at night, on the highway, no one around. Puts you in a trance.

It's a fire isn't the best track but I still like it. Roads is one of my favourites though

remember it's a fire is sort of a bonus track. it really took me a good year to get into this (I had to edit a post on the last page where I called it boring) but it was damn worth it, I was smoking a lot at the time which no doubt helped, the whole album has a very stoned vibe and beth gibbons has the sexiest voice ever.
