    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.

    Portishead are brilliant. Their "Dummy" album is a beginning to end classic. Lots of scratching involved and even Hip-Hop sounding beats.

    You boys should now check out “Hell is Round the Corner” by Tricky, which is not only another great trip-hop classic, but which also uses the same Isaac Hayes sample in the verses. Will be a great comparison for you… they’re both 🔥

    A huge part of why it's so smooth is because it's built around a sample from Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Rap II".
    "Glory Box" also is definitely one of my faves off the album -- which is sublime from start to finish.

      @@coldgoldcan2781 I figured it may have been a sample, but usually a sample gets a bit more work. Glory Box is to my mind an Isaac Hayes song with the lyrics changed. Not knocking it entirely, they've got another tune that's a complete take off of Silver Apples, I still danced to it.

      @@jontspam4134 It was pretty common in the 90s to just grab a sample and loop it, most 90s hip-hop is the same. At least with portishead you have a band playing around it, there was a big criticism of hip hop at the time that it was just stealing. My philosophy is that if it sounds good I dont really care how it was made or how complicated it is.

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 🖤🖤
