What a great album to start with. A pure 80s classic. I hadn't heard this in a while. I didn't like it back in the 80s so that was a nice reminder of how uncool I was. Thanks for that.

What can I say? This is one of the finest albums ever recorded. There are no notes needed. I don't think there is a thing I can add to the volumes of praise written about this album other than to agree. If you've never spent time with it, you must. 'A Simple Twist of Fate" is lyrically one of the most accomplished pieces of poetry anyone ever composed.

Absolutely outstanding. Somehow I have never really listened to Portishead and this album was such a great introduction. Finding albums like this is precisely why I signed up for this.
