portishead - third

[Rez]

deep water seems pretty demented to me. people take it as this optimistic little island, but i heard it as being willfully naive at the start of something good before it inevitably descends into the same kind of failure and doubt and hurt that define the rest of their songs. except now she knows it.

The album got bad reviews over here, although I loved Dummy so much I might buy it either way.

"over here?"

where would that be, blender magazine?

I feel like too many articles I read revolve around "the band that made dummy and then didn't do anything for 11 years", making an album. Kinda like if JD salinger published something. 85% rating for this album is nuts, because it isn't an album everyone will like. I like some bad reviews to add authenticity to the criticism.
