After more than a decade of silence, Portishead stray away from their trip hop sound into a more electronic, krautrock-inspired sound, and it works! The production is beautiful, Beth Gibbons' vocals are as angelic as ever and it has a lot more variety than their previous effort. Overall, "Third" is probably one of the greatest comeback records I've heard in recent memory!
