 Rating:  - Nobody loves me, it's truePortishead only has two (soon to be three) full-length albums to their name, as well as a live album. Not so easily accessible is "Glory Times," a two-disc collection of alternate takes on two of the best songs on their debut. After this, it's hard to hear "Dummy" quite the same way again.

Mostly remixes of two of the best songs from Bristol's trip-hop best debut album Dummy, Sour Times and Glory Box, which are all good but can't quite compare to the originals... Beth's voice on Sheared Times is distorted into an angry, twisted sound which you feel sort of ruins the original. However the excellent instrumental 'Theme from to Kill a Dead Man' is a refreshing break from the remixes. Altogether it's a great 'album' whether you love Portishead or are new to them, you will want the albums after buying it but at the price it's really only for the fans. |
