THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.
I KNOW, RIGHT!? I was playing the album for Kev the other day. Dunno if you were paying attention, but he seemed to be heavily digging it, too. You know where to grab it.
grabbed. i don’t pay much attention to you and kev sometimes.
You should. We are awesome.
Oh my god. Am I the only one that thinks this is awful? where’s the dj cause apparently he was the best part. “wick wack…wick wack……awickidy wick wick wick wack IT’S LIKE THAT!” heh, oh my god that was so good, why’d they stop….I’m sad now..

yes, you are.
I’ll second Brittany, if only to make up with talking a good game but not wanting to dance.
Also, I’m waiting for Rus to tell me whether or not it’s good.
I have no opinion.
Go Flyers!

The DJ is still there, but it’s 10 years later. Good bands evolve and change with the times. If they got back up there with breakbeats and record scratches, it’d be a throwback; it’d be worthless semi-retro bullshit. Portishead is too good for that.
While I really like the new Portishead stuff, I also would have liked to see some more on the DJ/percussion end of things.
Portishead wouldn’t know a breakbeat if it smacked them in the face, maybe THAT should be the next step for them. Beth Gibbons crooning over some rugged Bambaataa shit and maybe a cameo by Flava Flav. Genius in the making.
a band evolving does not mean they have made progress
Actually, by it’s very definition it does. I think you meant to say “a band changing does not mean they have made progress.”
And I would absolutely say that this new album is an evolution for the band. If it sounded like the last two albums, it would have sucked, no one would have cared, and the album wouldn’t have mattered.
