Machine Gun.

Like pretty much every music listener in the world today, I've been very excited about this new Portishead business. It's been a long time coming, but Third is almost here. You can download the whole thing off the internet, but I've not done so yet. At this rate, I may not. I've just watched/listened to the lead single, Machine Gun, and it's a hideous waste of time and effort. It sounds like recent Scott Walker filtered through the Trent Reznor Boring Production Machine Of Yesteryear and I hate it hate it hate it.

Anyway. Here it is.

I've only heard this and 'Hunter.' This isn't so hot. I don't understand why it's been selected as the single.

But you must go straight back to youtube, search "Portishead Hunter" and listen to that.

IT MAKES ME SO EXCITED.

So I hear one extraordinary hit and one ear-hurty miss. I don't know what to expect.
