Another perfect album from Portishead. Portishead's Third is cunningly produced, with a more modern and experimental sound compared to their past two records. It's an insanely well done heavier and more electronic take on Portishead's iconic sound, and I love it. There are a few select songs that have that classic Portishead feel - (Plastic, mostly) - but even on those tracks, there's still something fresh about it. They stepped out of their comfort zone and created something completely distinct from any other record. Third draws the line between over and underproduced.
