I’ve yet to meet anyone whose heard Portishead who don’t appreciate them. While probably more “Trip Hop” than “Hip Hop, Rap & R&B” they defy classification. This album sounded like nothing else out there and was an instant classic. Beth Gibbons voice is distinctive and ranges from beautiful to chilling. Her singing combined with eclectic sampling and scratches combine to make something unique. Ominous bass, orchestrated strings, scary organ noises and pounding reverberating beats. There isn’t a weak track on the album. Stand out tracks are “Sour Times”, “Numb” and “Glory Box”.
