Third

Somebody reviewed said: "If my anxiety had a soundtrack it would be this album", and I don't think there's anything else that I would add. Perfect summary.

Certified gold in the UK? I guess that has a different meaning across the pond.

This made me feel a way I've never felt before. In the worst possible way.

Liked the animation on the Rip Video and the rest of the tracks were a bit of folk, rock, and some kind of trippy synthesizer and electric instruments that were disinteresting, disconnected.

Definitely interesting but not for me. The album feels so futuristic and retro.

She can’t sing. Not for me.

The parts where it feels like they're stabbing my eardrums are my favorite.

This is very dark music! Not advised for people who like to be positive or happy. Not foe me

Just not my kind of music or mood at all. Super slow and hard to get through.

I’m behind so I can see Amy’s Back to Black is next and it is very much that distracted boyfriend meme: I want to let go of Portishead’s hand so bad. Seriously though, the ONLY song I wasn’t itching to skip was Deep Water. Didn’t like this album

Haunted house vibes and not in a good way!!! Yikes!!! 😱

zzzzzzz

Dreadful and annoying

Shite

Still no where near the quality of their first album. Dark, dirgey and a chore to listen to

I really, really hated this.

Bit whiney and tuneless...

This is usually the kind of music I love but it just didn't get me... just found it annoying I'm afraid. Don't get it. 1/5 for me.

Not me at all. Couldn't listen to it all.

I suppose there was some concept they were going for, but I didnt enjoy it.

Silence - not into this classic rock sound. By 2007 we’d heard way too much of it. Hunter - really not into this one either. Really uninspired writing imo. Nylon smile - I don’t like the writing here either. The fade into The Rip was cool. We carry on - ok miss ma’am Machine gun - everything about this song is pretentious. This is why my parents hate indie music. Small - I couldn’t finish this one. The asmr was too much for my headphones. If I never listen to this again, it’ll be too soon.

Why is this album something that I should listen to before I die. I wouldn't want to listen to this again if it delayed my death by 10 years.

Not very good

People keep praising Portishead, but I just don't see it yet. 2 Their sound never left the 90s. So disgusted by it, not sure why. Deep water is a banger tho 1

Can’t love the great albums without something to compare them to. This is one of those albums…

Didnt like it

Zo’n moker slecht album. Wtf. Echt 1001album generator.. doe me dit niet nog eens aan

Red hot garbage.

I really hated this album by Portishead. Loved the earlier ones, but could never get into this pile of dung.

not my vibe

Nah

Wow, not my cup of tea.

The first song was intriguing, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not and had to play it back a couple of times. The rest of the album I was 100% sure I didn't like.

Ugh so morose. I feel worse now that before I started listening.

Meh

This is serial killer music. Oh, and one ukelele song. Wtf, was that?! I listened to the whole album, but I didn’t want to. 1.0

not good 0/5

Maybe I'm too stupid to understand this, but it just seems like pointless noise.

Dreadful. I gained no enjoyment from this. Booooooooo

Depressing

"We Carry On" is absolutely horrible - the constant tone that provides nothing but makes you feel like you're in a trance. This song sorta feels like bad electronica, or bad club music. Overall it's definitely not my vibe. It's pretty unenjoyable. It's like shitty video game music - almost like the game sounds are still part of the OST. Some of the songs abruptly stop, which is just dumb.

Dreary hippie music.

Música terrible para el cinofilo mamador de mal gusto.

Moping along, saying absolutely nothing of substance or interest.

Not the OG portis

nope

A lot of layers of sound that I didn't enjoy

Genuinely thought this was shit.

Meh. She's got a couple good songs but not on this album

Just no.

Not my cup of tea. Some of the songs were not awful.

Not this one

Not for me

Really bad

boring

pretty boring and felt like they were going through the motions a bit.

This album gives boring a new definition. It lacks quite some oomph. Why didn't the guitarplayer a tuner to the recordingstudio?

Lastig luisteren. Wat een gloomfest. Halverwege the rip opent het album zich eindelijk. Om zich bij Plastic direct weer te sluiten. Zou zomaar de soundtrack kunnen zijn van een dystopische sci-fi film noir.

Not really for me

nope

Didn't enjoy this. Found it boring, and dreary. Don't think I am a Portishead fan.

Straight up garbage. Experimental electronic/rock. One of the worst if not the worst. 1/10.

SUCKS!

Noo

Not my thing

unlistenable

Magic doors had one of the worst sounds I've ever heard Jesus Christ

Ugh. Skipped most of the album. Sad, noise.

Never listened to a Portishead album. Have now. not the most uplifting and cheery addition to my day. Each to their own. Another one off the list that wont be going back on. I’d rather listen to Leonard Cohen...!

Teki mieli leikkaa korvat irti päästä tätä kuunnellessa...

Dull. Weird. Didn't finish the last couple of tracks, would be surprised if they were any different to all the others

more white music
