'on first listen I enjoy this much more than Dummy'

I can definitely see why someone would find this more immediately impactful.

Dummy is just way more trip hoppy/downtempo for better or worse. This is much more sophisticated in my opinion. I'm not the biggest fan of that early 90s Trip Hop sound. That's probably why I enjoy this much more

Album Rating: 5.0

That hurts re 90s trip-hop but fair enough. This is incredible, so guess I'm easy either way where Portishead is concerned. This has more song-writing variety whereas Dummy is just smooth as silk and A T M O S P H E R E etc. Not that this doesn't satisfy some of the same cravings.

Then there's s/t and NYC, man what a band!

Machine Gun is a fucking banger.

Also agree about Machine Gun. What a tune.

Does their self titled fall more in line with this sound or with their debut?

Album Rating: 4.5

more like their debut for sure

Album Rating: 5.0

Definitely the debut. It's a lot darker and more claustrophobic though.

They did cover ABBA's SOS in quite a similar vein as Third, so you could check that too. And there's Chasing the Tear, a standalone single which is super krautrocky, just like this one.

I love machine gun but it’s gotta be the worst when you’re having a slight headache

Hunter, Machine Gun, The Rip, Threads and Magic Doors are all pretty much perfect songs

swap the Rip for Silence and you've got the full house of highlights
