Well, here it is! And we only had to wait like 10 years. Like many of you I'm sure, I was in middle school when \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/products\/portishead-dummy-180g-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eDummy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e came out. When I heard it I was in love. Their whole sound was so unique and unlike anything else at the time. Even still, no one really does what they do. You can put them in whatever box you want, but I think ultimately they stand alone. When I first listened to \u003ci\u003eThird\u003c\/i\u003e I guess I was expecting\/hoping it to sound exactly like their other records. It doesn't. But the more I listen to it, the more I realize it has all the elements of what we already love about them, it's just presented differently. The beats are actually more sparse, but almost with an industrial\/metallic sound. Not like \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=nine+inch+nails+vinyl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNIN\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e industrial, so don't freak out. It just doesn't have that certain smoothness that came with their earlier stuff. Check out \"Hunter,\" \"Rip\" or \"Nylon Smile\" if you want start out with something familiar. But then please, branch out. Listen to the whole thing. It will grow on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egaetfold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Mercury 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by RikRok 04\/2008\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Portishead","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":1182083972,"sku":"lp-6543","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/portishead-third-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762269601","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/portishead-third-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
