i'll cheer dubman on in said fight/knifing!

i'm excited for this one. haven't heard much else about new stuff from old greats this year so this is a nice suprise for me.

I hope it shows some development in their sound. I loved Dummy, but was slightly disappointed by the second album because it was so much of a more-of-the-same type of thing. I'm all for them still sounding like Portishead, but I do hope it doesn't sound like a bunch of tracks that could have been outtakes from Dummy again. It's a safe bet I'll buy it either way though...

I can't wait for fake leaks to appear for this release.

i'd rather it sound like Dummy outtakes than that shit that was posted on YouTube.

Dummy is still one of my "played" albums from time to time. I really really really hope this is going to be as good.

i for one hope they wouldn't make the same album they made over 10 years ago, but that's just me. a little evolution anyone?

but i understand your doubts, which did happen with tricky for me. after listening to vulnerable i almost lost complete interest in tricky for a long time. the lyrics just reeked of teen agnst rock themes and the rhyme schemes were about on par with a 6 years olds. plus that new girl's contributions vocally and lyrically ruined it for me.
