Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk

Portishead's Third has been a long time coming, the result of a lengthy creative torpor following 1997's dark, distinctly underrated album Portishead. Importantly, though, they've shaken it. While the core trio of Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow, and Adrian Utley remains, this is quite a different band to Portishead's 90s incarnation: gone is the slo-mo turntable scratching and smoky jazz feel, replaced by heavy, brooding rhythms, vintage-sounding electronics, and spindly guitar. Still present, though, is that sense of emotional fracture and deep gloom. "Silence" opens with a dense drum loop which suddenly falls away to reveal Gibbons' voice, cold but magnificent: "Wounded and afraid, inside my head/Falling through changes". "Nylon Smile", meanwhile, is a fine example of Third's occasional folksy edge, an acoustic song reminiscent of Leonard Cohen that, around its midpoint, lifts off on a propulsive electronic rhythm, Gibbons holding one clear, hard note as synthesisers bubble beneath. At times, it's a harsh and foreboding listen: the electronic drums of "Machine Gun" might put off the listener hoping for smooth dinner party fare. But Third is a brave and forward-thinking return, and one great enough to justify its lengthy gestation. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars Be aware....the data files are copy protected, May 29, 2008
By Robert F. Gaydos (Nashua, NH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are plenty of reviews about the music on this disc, so I'm not going to go there. Overall, this box is a great collector's item and a tresure trove for the Portishead fan. It's worth the outlay, just for the excellent quality of the pressing, on heavyweight, pristine vinyl.

BUT...if you're like me and enjoy the sound of vinyl but also require the convenience of a digital copy, be aware that the data files (on a nifty 1 GB P shaped rubber memory stick) are copy protected, meaning you can't even EDIT THE INFORMATIONAL DATA on the files if you import them into iTunes or any other digital library. You can't make a CD and import them back as non-protected files, either. THIS SUCKS....FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU ARE SPENDING! Just so you know.

The rest of the goodies are nice....the etched 12" of Machine Gun, the films, and the art print suitable for framing. But come on...this copy protection crap is out of control. Newsflash....there are always ways to get around this stuff, record companies, you greedy, failing morons. Yeah, I can always rip the vinyl copies back into my PC, but at this cost, I shouldn't have to. Maybe I should just steal it next time.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Awesome Package for Collectors!, June 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is one cool box set if you are a fan of Portishead. Even though I already owned the album on cd, for only $20 this limited edition was worth paying for just to have as a collectors item. The whole set it packaged really nicely, and the etched vynil looks great. This set is definitely worth showing off! I only wish I would have received one of the numbered ones, however those are really hard to come by...

5.0 out of 5 stars Una larga espera..., May 30, 2008
Luego de la larga espera podemos disfrutar de Portishead nuevamente.
El disco se diferencia un poco de los dos anteriores (demasiado tiempo los separa) pero se logra ver una progresión en su trabaja.
La vos de Gibbons es mucho más madura se parece mucho al trabajo que hizo con Rustin Man, no tiene los gritos agudos que nos acostumbramos en Dummy y en Protishead, ni tampoco sus falsetes. Pero ahora presenta un vos voz más sólida.
Los arreglos de Barrow ya van al extremo en este disco, el uso excesivo de secuenciadotes y sintetizadotes e incluso las percusiones eléctricas saturan el álbum.

Como fan de Portishead por largos años, este disco sigue sorprendiéndome y esperando poder escucharlos en vivo en algún momento y que el próximo álbum no demore tanto. :)

Sobre esta edición: El LP esta bien pero lastima que mi reproductor de discos no es lo que era; los archivos extra del USB son geniales, son pocos pero muy entretenidos. Lo que más me gusto fue la impresión de Nick Uff, es exclusiva en cada paquete, son frames de la animación usada en el clip The Rip.
Por los demás es un gran paquete de colección. Lo lamentable que ya esta agotado y solo lo consigues por revendedores, 10000 copias son suficiente creo.. jeje.. yo tengo la copia 4288. Suerte si consigues el tuyo. :)
