I just bought Out Of Season today. It's so wonderful to hear her voice again...that's my first impression. About to give it a second listen here in a sec.

[Pubrick]

i've had Out of Season (downloaded) for like a year already, did it just come out in reality or sumthin?

it's great tho. hella catchy especially rustin man, it's like the hum never ends.

[Ghostboy]

It's been out for over a year, but it just got its official stateside release. I don't know why I waited until now, though. I always forget what CDs I need to buy as soon as I set foot inside the store.

vb p, your avatar scares me.

i saw them live this summer and it was really good. beth gotta be the most fragile creature ever, looking really small on that stage. one of my friends gave her a smoke(i think) after the show, they talked and she gave him a nice long tight hug

i only have their self-titled album, is dummy really much better?  the live in nyc sounds intriguing too, as i've seen them live on snl and they were incredible.  the lead singer reminded me of old blues ladies.  
btw, is it portis-head, or porti-shead.

Dummy is my favorite Portishead album.

Numb...such a good song...

[NEON MERCURY]

...the  ultimate portishead song is "roads" from the live album ...the song makes me feel like my face is melting ............

portishead are recording their first album in eight years.

the band have nearly completed their third lp, according to founding member geoff barrow.

he said: "we're actually into it as we speak. we took some time off for christmas, but generally we're doing another record."

barrow told bbc 6 music that he was surprised people thought the band had split up, saying: "we've just had our heads down really, we've never actually broken up, or parted, or whatever."

he added: "so for us it just seems, even though we haven't played for years, we still see each other and write - we just haven't released a record for a long time."

as previously reported on nme.com, portishead - who won a mercury music prize in 1995 for their debut album 'dummy' - will join massive attack for a gig at the bristol academy (february 19) to raise money for oxfam's tsunami appeal.

however, the band are not expected to play any new material at the show, which will feature singer beth gibbons playing with an acoustic backing.

other acts on the bill include the coral and led zeppelin singer robert plant. a website has been set up at crisisinasia.com.

[Stefen]

So the new album was "almost finished" in january, it's now almost september. Think it will be released this year?
