My only fear is, where do they go from here, if at all? Even if they do nothing else, what a perfect trilogy they've created - 'Music By' is still my personal favourite, but this one is really growing on me! It’s a grower, and has been worth the wait.

I concur with all that has been written and said about it.....the music speaks powerfully to me [a fripp/Can/flamenco fan] AND the vocals have an [occasional] ethereal quality with lyrics that tantalize. Those that I can decipher fit my life experience so well.... the strains and delights of mature relationships. Music for the heart, head and feet - who could ask for more?

Learn it, and learn to like it for what it is. Or don't. Hunter is probably my favorite track, followed by The Rip. I hated the weird effect on Plastic on first listen and now I think it makes the song. This is NOT an easy listen. But who expected that? This album isn’t like the first two.

I love Portishead and the way the meaning in their songs unfolds over time. I'm really looking forward to discovering more.

It starts out with someone speaking Portuguese, which I pat myself on the back for recognizing. A search for the translation brought me to a comment on Matt Rutherford’s review.

I'm not warming up to this album quite yet. It's not about the band, but about the sound. The correct translation is:

“Beware of the rule of 3
What you give, you will get in return
You must learn this lesson
You only get what you deserve.”
