This post is part of our “Top Albums of The Decade” series. Follow the series to read about the best music to grace our ears in the 2000s. Portishead – Third (Island Records) Muscular synthesizers, drum breaks and abrupt endings keeping the tension high. In a few words this is how Portishead’s third studio release, suggestively titled “Third,” sounds like. An amalgam of noise, distortions and Eastern Bloc minimalism is what the first listener might…
It took almost 11 years for Portishead to release “Third” in 2008, one of the best records of the year. The time off seems to have payed off, considering Third was such a mind blowing experience. Fans don’t need to wait for another generation to pass to listen to a new album though, as NME is reporting Portishead have started work on a new album – “Forth” maybe?

Then there’s “Rising Down,” the latest, highly anticipated studio effort from behalf of The Roots. Possibly this week’s highlight, however, is “Hard Candy,” the latest album from “the queen of pop,” Madonna. Another highly interesting release is Foxboro Hot Tubs’ debut album “Stop Drop And Roll;” if you didn’t yet…
There’s been a lot of hype, around the trip-hop veterans’ first album in ten years, during the past weeks, however their one of the few acts that actually deserve it.

For me it is and whenever I get the chance, I try cover them and today that chance is a new video for “Machine Gun,” the first single from…
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.
