    Ok guys. Serious AF. The WHOLE Live in NYC album with an orchestra is fire beyond fire. One of the few live albums that are as close to perfect as one could get. I promise you won’t be disappointed. The live version of Roads would be a good start!! And this song is super fire on that album too.

      Mysterons (perfect blend of guitar, samples, scratching, and Beth's voice), Biscuit (darker vibe but great groove), Sour Times (another accessible single), Roads (essentially a ballad over a sick laidback hiphop beat) and Wandering Star (driving yet still subdued, easy to vibe to) are all strong recommendations from the 1st album. Humming (ridiculous groove after the string intro), All Mine (another big single, big band meets hip hop), and maybe Seven Months (more aggressive vocals but strong chorus with a sick beat and fun stop/start dynamics in the verses) would be good from the 2nd album. The 3rd album is not as easy to get into (though I love it) but Machine Gun is probably the best bet.

    Yes, Portishead is amazing! Thanks for introducing them to our community. Zero 7, Massive Attack, and Portishead are all brilliant.

    I have a playlist on Spotify that I created myself that’s 12 hours of trip hop. All classics: Portishead, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Björk, Zero 7, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Hooverphonic, Air, etc. Reactions are my favourite YT content. For me, there’s nothing like when a new song moves through me and I FEEL it for the first time ever. One of my absolute favourite genres and I love your reaction so much.

    Everything by Portishead is fire! I luckily discovered them in the beginning and have loved every song they have released. Never dissapointed . I think it was a crime they never got them to do a James Bond theme. Would have been magic.

    “Glory Box” is my favorite Portishead song. The group is on another level. When Marsha Ambrosius covered another one of their hard hitters, “Sour Times,” I knew she was an official music lover.

    This song takes me back so hard. My dad died unexpectedly in early 1994 and I can still feel the deep, dark places this took me. I was so lost for a long time and somehow needed the music from this era to take me down before I could climb back up.

  • @danpitzer765
    @danpitzer765 Рік тому +8

    Portishead long ago struck me speechless when I heard Sour Times. If you check more of their stuff, that's what I suggest next. It's another stunning piece.

    Portishead is one of my favorite underrated groups. I love the tone and tenor of their music. It's very hypnotic and meditative... kind of like being underwater. I always thought they would have been a perfect choice to compose a theme for a James Bond movie.

    This was the perfect end of a crazy night, come down music in the 90s. I distinctly remember laying on my back on some random trip-friend's livingroom floor watching nonexistent shadows ebb and flow to this album. Lawdy, how did I make it to 50! Thanks for unlocking some fun memories. Gonna go dust off some cds.

    This album came out, I was working in Liverpool on a big flooring job, 1994.
    2 weeks.
    Myself and my pal played it on repeat day in day out, until my dad snapped and cut the cable to by boom box the absolute bastard.😂😂
    Absolutely nothing like portishead..
    Utterly ridiculous unique..
    The live new York set is ground breaking..

  • @adamharris3520
    @adamharris3520 Рік тому +16

    First two albums in full are totally legit! They were a great transition band for me going from being an East Coast hip hop head to getting into rock and roll.

  • @giljawetz5279
    @giljawetz5279 Рік тому +7

    This and your Massive Attack reaction are such a joy. This music is so timeless. Neither group cares for the trip hop name (something magazines came up with) since it’s just pure music in both cases. Keep digging into these bands, they’re both the best.
    Managed to see Portishead live three times, twice in the 90s when they toured their incredible second album and once more in 2014 at a music festival in Iceland.

    This is one of those genius albums. Every song is amazing. My personal favourite probably Wandering Star, but you have to listen to them all! Portishead are also one of those bands who have massive cross over appeal, and I know at least in the UK a lot of punk and metal fans are into them. Even though the sound is super smooth and chill, it also has that raw energy you find in punk and metal. Thanks for another great reaction 🖤🖤

    Saw 'Portishead' in the title and grinned like when I see 'Gojira' in the title. Had a feeling you'd dig this. Just like others have mentioned re: Roads, especially the live version at Roseland Ballroom is more than a vibe it's practically a whole lifestyle. Rock on y'all!

    My trip hop wife says this is one of her favorites. And YES, she plays this all the time. I heard Sour Times before she came along, and I was turned onto Roads by the My Dying Bride cover of it. Where's the cannabis? Peace!
