It’s been nearly ten years since Portishead’s last release, 1998’s Roseland NYC Live, but with Third, they show that they haven’t missed a step as they deliver their darkest and most beautiful album to date.
Third is Portishead at their artistic apex. In the ten years of their hiatus, the musicians have matured tremendously, both as soundsmiths and songwriters, without losing any of the artistic vision or fire that initially brought them together. After so many years, Portishead still manage to make music that sounds like no one else, pushing their craft to artistic extremes and making the ugliest sounds beautiful without ever losing track of the music underneath.
