Song is ok...if you want to hear a garage band/Depeche Mode version of a NIN song Geoff Barrow is your man...

Pretty Good

I get leary about downloading music I don't know. Even the emusic freebies, because too often they well, suck. But this song is actually pretty cool. Not bad for 50 cents.

Definitely worth a download

I'm not sure if this song is widely available outside of Emusic or how they got this without the rest of the Portishead catalog. In any case, a really good song. If you liked the minimalist vibe of 3 you'll enjoy this one.

Love it!

There is a reason this song shows up on the most downloaded charts. Very nice.

Disappointing

I'm a huge Portishead fan but find this release uninteresting. I really am hopeful the new album shows more growth.

Not bad, but...

...kind of like a cross between Berlin's "The Metro" and "Missing Link" by Curve.

By Arye Dworken, eMusic Contributor

Remember that band you loved that broke up? Well, next year, they're playing Coachella. We live in an age when band reunions are bordering on passé, which can obscure the fact that a well-executed comeback is often difficult to come by. Take Limp Bizkit. That once incredibly popular band released an album this year that you probably had had no idea existed. Or on a somewhat more credible note, Duran Duran reunited and recruited famed… more »

Six Degrees of Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die

By Michelangelo Matos, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
