Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Portishead - Glory timesAs far as I know, this is not an "official" release by this band, but, I couldn't love it more. If you're not one of those people that HAS to have everything they've ever done, just stick to their major releases, you'll be just fine. This set doesn't really have any new material so to speak, it's a ton of remixes. But, as I said, I love it. Each and every track gives a new representation of two of their classics. If you breathe Portishead, you'll love this album... if you listen to them only ... Read More Rating: - I Love Beth Gibbons!I love this band. Always have. Just wish there was more. I would give this another star, but, that is reserved for "Dummy". Oh, i'm sure the drummer is insane. Nobody can keep a beat like that, unless you are insane. 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.

It opens with the gently jazzy "Sour Sour Times," before veering to the poignantly funky "Lot More," and the scratchy, raw ... Read More Rating:  - For hardcore Portishead-heads onlyI've burned a hole through my "Dummy" and "Portishead" cd's, so it was nice to hear several alternative takes of two of my favorite tracks. However, the list price is rather steep for the amount of music (less than one regular cd, despite the fact that they put it on two), and you really have to be in the right mood to listen to the same lyrics and chord progressions over and over. Overall, the live album is much more satisfying. Rating: - Classic songs accompanied by innovative remixes"Glory Box" and "Sour Times" are classic songs and if you can't get enough of them, then you would love Portishead's different interpretations of them. "Airbus Reconstruction" is a grungy rock version of "Sour Times" and I wasn't surprised because Portishead member and producer, Geoff Barrow, has stated that he admired Nirvana. "Lot More" is a grimier urban "Sour Times" while "Sour Sour Times" has an acid jazz feel. "Scorn" takes the Isaac Hayes sample and the dark beat from the part at the end where ...
