And the rage

[steveflave]

Love the space and patients! Awesomea!

[climber910]

I love how different, deep and complex is Third.

[maio10]

they were playing yesterday in mexico city. it was so fucking awesome. i still excited. what a nice trip...

[manco82]

I like how Portishead reinvented themselves on "Third". Nice move to stay artistically relevant. Trip hop and nu metal are for the birds man.

[ardakaraduman]

sorry guys but this is shit.

if an unknown band released stuff like this they would be instant laughing stock. just that portishead did it doesnt mean they are geniuses. shit is shit. I can understand they want to do something different, but lethargic beats all through the songs, impossible harmonic chords cringing on the brink of denotality is not the way to go ...

I hope we get the old portishead back soon.

[jents71]

@ardakaraduman ... I gotta disagree... old Portishead had its place in the mid 90s, but they were always looking to re-invent... I consider "3" more of a Joy Division move towards simplicity in allowing haunting drum beats to set a mood, and then utilize the guitars to sway the song... Definitely some of their best..

[hollywhelan]

the fact that this is a live set...... amazing!!!!! :D

[TKHR1985]

What album?

[jachudyszel]

I love Beth!

I LOVE PORTISHEAD!!!

[kevtyrrell]

Ummm...to all those complaining of Pink Floyd rip off...the overall influence of the sound for this Portishead song comes more from an early electro duo from the 1960's called Siver Apples than anything else. Portishead have always claimed this group were a major influence of theirs. In fact Silver Apples sole survivor has done a cover version of this song. Its on youtube so go look for yourself. :o) Hope that gives a better perspective on the influences for this sound and song.

[chanrider]

@kevtyrrell good call. i listened to "You and I" and felt it right away. not even sure if that's the track you're talking about, but i felt it. this is just slower.

[kevtyrrell]

@chanrider Well the overall sound is very Silver Apples-esque but the song that I think most contributes to "We Carry On" is the Silver Apples song "Oscillations". But the song is definitely an homage to Silver Apples than any other Prog Rock or Synth group from the 60's or 70's. In fact there is a live cover of "We Carry On" which Silver Apples performed on here if you look for it, :o)

[ANTRAXENTE]

beth gibbons i love you

[pjpaddyjpe]

[zzsharka]

@pjpaddyjpe Portishead reminds me of Massive Attack, not sure who came first, will google it later as it's 5am here ; )

[nesssaja]

I love Beth!!

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

ZOMG  apocalyptic polktronica

[PlutoTourist]

The minds that compose and then perform the unique music that is Portishead are brilliant. It's timeless!

[2short2q]

Seen a lot of great bands, never had a chance to see Portishead.

Their creativity and performances are awesome. wish I coulda been there.

[portiexc]

[in7erpol]

[TheKiersgaard1]

"The Rip" <3

[abebopmana]

Too bad no one liked Silver Apples 40 years ago.

[dans86]

your so right. I saw them a few months ago and glad to say that people do like them now.

[iwantemout]

Silver Apples are still active?

[dans86]

yes, one of the members died so its just simeon now (the singer/synth player) they put on a very good light show with everything being manipulated live.

[chomskyana]

que ganas de verlos y escucharlos en vivo

[Tascam82]

Fucking amazing!!!!!

[bbknux1]

[grande76]

[GlobalBaron]

If I had the money, I would hire Portishead to come to town for a local block party every weekend!

[dswarlus]

[Micaiah]

Portishead is just so amazing!

[lordonboard1]

Die sind Genies!!

[figurheadus]

Awsome song. Portishead with the all bad moods included in lyrics rockz everything...

[ROCKADULTOX]

Portishead es ROCKADULTOX!!

[MarcoMartini81]

uttersman, Portishead is a town near Bristol...In any case, they've such a long history in the british alternative music that I can't tell you that in a few lines...Please do a wikipedia search for further information...

P.S. I'm a Radiohead and Portishead fan since 1995.

[hadvin]

You're all obviously so young... and ignorant of how fucking awesome Portishead is and how long they've been rocking this downtempo world.

[DIMOAGUI]

i don´t like the new album...definetly i prefer the latest

[uttersman]

yeah and futhermore stop ripping bass lines from pink floyd asshats!

[uttersman]

i love all these wannabe radiohead bands that cant play past a 6th grade level ex.-coldplay and these idiots...i mean even their name carries subconscious envy....

[EatTreesEveryday]

Congratulations, you managed to make a fool of yourself. Portishead and Radiohead are not related, and Radiohead has covered a Portishead song.

[automator3000]

Wow. Someone needs to look back to the '90s and recognize how much Portishead influenced Radiohead as they made the jump from their "rock" to their current personae.

[PkSage89]

@automator3000 jeez theres some history i don't know @.@, i thought there was a mild undercurrent similarity. Sanity and what not :\

[amnesiacmx]

@automator3000 I don't think so, Portishead's Third came after HTTT, Amnesiac, Ok Computer... I don't see the point in saying who influences who, they're both great... I saw Portishead last sunday, great interpretation of this song by the way

[MatthewsFILMs]

@automator3000 They influence each other an given that there all friends I don't doubt that ...and also the drummer of Portishead head is touring with radiohead lol

[stareleades]

lol you know shit all

they have nothing to do with "radiohead"

they're one of the original trip-hop bands

you muscally retarded fool

[oyukselturk]

portishead with can flavour..loved it.

[odradekk]

SCAPOCCIO!!!!

[nhdaniele]

We carry on = Silver Apples going to hell

[ticklemeelmo45]

This sounds like the band mogwai but a bit late

[zukyplayer]

amazing! love it!

[baadpuddytat]

we waited 11 years for this, and it is so amazingly, brilliantly worth it. if "third" isn't the best album this year, i can't wait to see what tops it.

[yager78]

Tricky: Knowle West Boy

[patpat818181]

OH DEAR!!! somebody kill me, because I will never be happier than right now!!!!

[Kaipantheband]

That's great! Love it!

[FuellingObsession]

God, this song makes me estatic!

[clarerh]

en vivo: igual de hermoso *___*

[slitheringinterstate]

They stole this groove from "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" by Pink Floyd

[rbenesh]

no... no they didn't...

[artrock3d]

'Stole' is such a negative word, 're-used' or 'inspired by' is better. Imitation is a compliment.

[kalyptus]

Is Imitation a compliment for you ? I find it's negative, too...

[schtel]

it has a similar approach, but hasn't been stole or copied.

[3SLONiK]

I agree, but its starting to be normal now...

quite nice cover i guess

[SeraSnot]

@slitheringinterstate I don't think pink floyd owns the beat anyway

[tshhtf]

@slitheringinterstate

It is, hadn't noticed before. The feel from the song also has a lot from an early electronic psychedelic US synthesiser band called Silver Applies.

Still, I like this more than the Pink Floyd song :)

[Thamn0S]

@slitheringinterstate uhhhh, not even close?

[docbohr]

@slitheringinterstate so what

[deathlikesilence710]

@slitheringinterstate maybe but that song sucks anyways.

[CEIVE4EVER]

A-C-O-J-O-N-A-N-T-E

[Bloodyfist77]

thats Music .... thats Portishead

[frooooo]

Brilliant! Just a Portishead sound- unique and memorable !!!

[mongkolose]

how is this possible. it blows my mind away.
