Trip-hop legends, the Brisol trio of Portishead have recently revealed the tracklist for their upcoming third record suggestively titled… “Third.” We would’ve expected a more generic title for the first album in ten years from the band, but we’re content to name it whatever it may be, as song as we get some good new music. Third has a release date set for April 28th on Island Records.

Tool’s one of the few bands that have managed to build a somewhat unique sound, characterized by heavy riffed music coupled with melodic and mellow vocals, labeled by most as style-transgressing. The band’s sold over ten million records, within their four album lifespan, won four Grammys and last but not least gained a cult like fanbase. Reverting back to the Grammy’s, a curious fact is although frontman Maynard James Keenan resents the notorious awards for…
