| Finally.
Though at 1st hear this album may sound bland and oversynthesized, I have come to enjoy "Third". I discover new sounds every time I replay the album. I recommend playing the album from beginning to end about 2-3 times before coming to your own conclusions. Beth's voice is great as always. At times it may seem that some of the songs are arranged in an unorthodox manner. I would have liked a little bit more "hop" and a bit less "trip" but all in all this is a great album. I'm glad they are back and I hope they don't wait another 10 years before their 4th album comes along.

| The triumvirate is back
The triumvirate is back with a vengeance. They have enough amunition to bring down the strongest opposition (critics that claim this album to be less than perfect an all levels). This is their third tour de force and it is truelly a sonic landscape of pure beauty. Pationately violent, haunting and hypnotic ah what celestial nemesis is this

| A Little Short of Expectations, But Glad It's Here!
After a 10 year lay-off "they're back" as they say in scary movies. The great lyrics are there, the great electronica is there, but no playing with Beth Gibbons' voice with electronic distortion as they did in previous albums. Much as I like her voice and singing, having 11 straight cuts of her querulous and timid voice without some textural relief is a little too much, and that is why I've given them only 4 stars, not 5. Still, if you like Portishead (and if you don't you should be ashamed!!) it is great to have them recording again, and I hope they will follow up with more. Even a little less than perfection with Portishead beats the hell out of almost every others group's best! Welcome back Portishead!

| Gorgous and very uplifting
This is perfection and this is the best album of the year there is no so far nothing will top this masterpiece! The lead female singer has the greatest voice I have ever heard! Though the album has a very dark feel to it I love the production. This is the first portishead cd I have bought, and I already now have their older compilations of songs! All of them are spectacular! Finally in 2008 we have been blessed with a fantastic record. This album is flawless I highly suggest buying this right away!
