Yeah, I'm 15 years late on this one. It really is great, though - well worth the wait.

The instruments and arrangements are a bit more aggressive and in-your-face than on their other two records, but it's still got that unmistakable Portishead sound (a.k.a. Beth Gibbons' voice).  4 nulls &Oslash;&Oslash;&Oslash;&Oslash;\n<li><strong>Shellac - Beautiful Italian Greyhound<\/strong>. This record demands to be played a couple of notches louder than your comfort level. Not sure why the other guy is singing, though.
