About this album

Universal Music Ltd. (Malaysia branch) (2008) Released: 11 Jun 2008 12 tracks (51:47)
Third is the third studio album by English musical group Portishead, released on April 28, 2008 on Island Records in the UK and on April 29, 2008 on Mercury Records in the US. It represents a departure from their previous trip hop sound into a darker, rawer, more industrial style. It is their first release in 10 years, and their first studio album in 11 years. Equalling the performance of their first two studio albums in their native United Kingdom, Third entered the UK Album Chart at #2, and became the band’s first ever U.S. Top 10 album on the Billboard 200, reaching #7 in its entry week.

    This is wayy too painfully sweet. I had to go through a heartbreak to enjoy/LOVE this?

    One of the best albums i've ever heard. Depressive, dark, deep, atmospheric, psychedelic, brilliant. All 11 songs are masterpieces.

    I have only just discovered Third after seeing the trailer for Black Mirror. I made a cover version of "The Rip" http://soundcloud.com/lepetitechua/the-rip-1

    One of the greatest albums ever made, fucking amazing reinvention of their sound... one of the best transitions by any band. Threads is an experience in itself.

    Nah, this album is by far their best.

    It's a great album but their first 2 were better. [2] But damn... How does an artist disappear for 10 years then return with something this good? [3]

    Beautiful/chilling. I always listen to this back-to-back with Björk's Post.
