Why didn't anyone tell me this is better than Dummy?
>>128249503the mastering on this one is so ass. the live album is better.
>>128249541
and third is even better than both of those
Third too depresso, OP pic has that badass james bond and cine noir vibe that makes it a tiny bit superior. Theyre all astounding, anyway.
>>128249503Cowboys is their best song.
>>128249503They all have their appeals. I personally like that Dummy goes the extra mile in making sure just about every song has a distinct aspect that belongs to that song. S/T, however, is a deeper dive into the bread and butter of their sound and is probably a heartier record for it.

>>128250623What about Tricky?
>>128250623That's everyone else's fault for being creatively bankrupt enough to copy Dummy, plus S/T pulls things back towards that darker atmosphere anyways. Not that Portishead had no idea about that - Geoff Barrow was literally in the room when Massive Attack was making Blue Lines.
