Yeah give Maxinquaye another chance.

But Third has their best track.

Album Rating: 4.5

Third is definitely the worst one but it still has lots of good stuff. S/t makes a strong case for the best

Album Rating: 5.0

@Alex: Which is?

And a 4.5 isn't thát bad...

Machine Gun.

"But Third has their best track."
Silence? Threads? Machine Gun?
Best Portishead is a toss-up between Biscuit, Roads and Humming imo

Haha, called it

Album Rating: 5.0

Hmmm yeah, that track is delicious. Good pick!

I think they're my favourite band overall though, so really hard to pick one song. Although Humming has it all... But I'd have to think longer on which one is best.

Album Rating: 5.0

Been too long since I listened to their other two albums but iirc the s/t is easily their worst

Album Rating: 5.0

No way. It's beautifully dark, twisted, sample-heavy perfection.

You've been doing the rounds I see.

I remember really wanting to love the s/t, because it had tons of atmosphere, but the songs just weren't that memorable

Album Rating: 5.0

Have you heard the live album in NYC? It's amazing. Might be a way in if you're interested in that.

Album Rating: 5.0

No but it has been on my to-listen list for a long time now. Maybe it's time for a Portishead discog binge
