 Great for the fans August 25, 2008
Jay C. Nabb (Duncan, Vancouver Island, Canada)
It's a short album, but it's okay. This is a compact album with a lot of familiar tones that are expected from Portishead, but they do branch off with new ideas and unchartered waters. For those who have not yet heard Portishead, then I strongly suggest holding off from this album until you hear their first two.
Deconstructing portishead August 22, 2008

Revisiting themselves, this band make a fresh and sharp look to this new era of boredom nihilism
 profoundly disappointed... August 8, 2008

I waited 10 years for this??? seriously..."The Rip" (ironic song title) is as good as it gets??? I never would have thought that Thom Yorke would make Beth Gibbons irrelevant...it looks like i am keeping my Radiohead and losing my Portishead...or at least this release...see you in another 10 years...
STOP IT!!! August 6, 2008

That's right, STOP IT fellow reviewers!!! Stop comparing Portishead albums. Each album is unique, beautiful and distinctively Portishead: electronic, dynamic, ambient, driving, moody, poetic. If you had never heard Portishead music before (assuming you like edgy electronic rock to begin with) and were given the Third album as an introductory to their music you would either fall in love with it (or not) just as much as you would (or wouldn't) with either one of their other two albums. It's the substance of their music that should be qualified regardless of the time period in which it was produced. Having said that, Third is marvelously musically Portishead, It'll shut you down and turn you on.
A new sound August 3, 2008
Phillip Macarthur (Sydney, NSW Australia)
Portishead has always kind of had a bit of a "dinner party" sound to it, the kind of music you can play in the background at a party and it be recieved well. Beth Gibbon's singing and lyrics of profound uncertainty, little claustrophobic feelings of unrest and lonliness are haunting, charming even nostalgic... br / br /Third takes on a different sound opening with Silence there's still the sense of haunting and claustrophobia but the sound is more desperate, more active, the rest of the album is undeniably Portishead, but you'll hear more samples, more effects, more dischordant activity and while a good album I feel it should be treated as a separate work from Dummy and Self Titled this album has a distinct sound to itself.
