Originally posted by rbmorrisI often listen to as many as sixteen albums a day. There's a backlog that never seems to go away. If some music doesn't have the necessary elbows, it doesn't necessarily get a second listen, especially pop-rock-etc. (unless it's by artists I know well and who I have found to make music that grows on me).

Originally posted by rbmorrisIt's their best work to date. As is often the way with gifted bands their first album is amazing but their second fails to meet the mark. This is an older more mature Portishead which for all that, hasn't dulled with age. They're still in your face and uncomprimising. They're the marmite of music. Fortunately I love marmite and this album has been playing on my mp3 player for a whole week now. Fantastic.

Don't know if it's their best work to date simply because Dummy is just such a flawless record...
Originally posted by rbmorrisHad it on in the background yesterday, and quite enjoyed it. Just stuck it on now again, and really enjoying the first CHOON!
Picked it up yesterday. Just got through my third listen. I didn't warm up to it right away, but now that I've gone through it a couple of times, I'm really loving it.
