When I was younger, I used to call Portishead “porpoise head”. I never saw the appeal.
Now that I’ve lived another 10 years, I see the talent and hear the amazing musical stylings of Portishead for more than just a random musical endeavor. The lyrics to any Portishead song can be somewhat haunting, and the tone in which the delivery breaks through the vapid music scene, is just top notch.
With their latest album, you can tell that they are up to their old antics, and aspiring for a little more.
You can stream the whole Portishead album now, and see if you like it…or if you’ll stick to your metal.
P.s Metal rules!

With Nine Inch Nails getting rave reviews over the delivery of their latest musical endeavor, it is not a surprise to hear more artists contemplating releasing albums with a mutli-choice way of getting music. Portishead recently drew comparisons to the latest Ghosts album by offering a very limited box set. Somewhere in the range of 1,000 limited edition box sets will be available and you can pick one up at their official site by clicking here.

The box sets will be officially released April 28, 2008, so pre-order now and get yourself a lot of Portishead, before anyone else. I’m not sure why they drew so much comparison, considering that Portishead is not allowing a free option, is not putting this on cd for pre-order, and is limiting the currency somehow too. Whatever the case is, diehard Portishead fans will be glad to see new music coming out sooner than later.
