The Flagship

I've given this album a rating of 4/10 on the basis of the song 'Roads' alone. The rest really didn't impress me. Aside from Roads and the immutable 'Glory Box' (which saturates at least 25% of all adverts every year), there really isn't much on the album that sucks you in.

Nevertheless, this is still regarded as one of the greats. They are a poor mans Massive Attack, and I don't e... read more

My Favorite Albums (19 music items)

"Another of my favorite vocalists, Beth gibbons can change her voice in an almost magical way. I am not generally a fan of female vocalists. They have to be something entirely special for me to dig them. Dummy being Portishead's best album, in my opinion, it has many tracks that are worthy of recognition, including Wandering Star, Roads, and Glory Box; which is my personal favorite. This album is perfect. It is toned down, but intense. When she wants you to feel, you feel. The music is very well "

""Portishead used some of the same building blocks as fellow Bristol, England, trip-hoppers Massive Attack - woozy break beats, jazzy samples, live guitar, girl singer/guy programmer dynamic - but Beth Gibbon's brooding, pop-cabaret vocals showed to the world that you could feel real pain over a trip-hop groove.""
