Only in 2019. But still, they band sold a lot of copies of this record even if they did not profit directly from the single.

Yeah there was nothing going to happen while Allen Klien was still alive unfortunately.

This album is kind of meh. I get all the Oasis chatter. I do like the singles though.

It's also very long. Jesus there are deluxe and super deluxe versions!

I went straight to the regular album on Apple Music. It was still 1 hr and 15 minutes (That includes about 5 minutes of silence before the hidden track, but still long). I stand by what I said about all the songs after Lucky Man.

Yeah, that's the one I am listening to on Spotify. Just skipped about three minutes of silence.

Man, I don't know it's a two or a three. I didn't hate it, but I don't foresee myself ever listening to it again.
It was 1997 and 80 minute CDs. There were no short albums lol.

I listen to so much Colemine that anything over 35 minutes seems like a double lp to me.
Yeah 35 to 40 minutes is about right for a single album for me. 13 tracks at 75 is a bit mental. That was the year britpop imploded and there were a lot of drugs and a lot of very long albums with very long songs around that year.

No hidden track?

Too many great albums were ruined this way. Overstaying the welcome can make you stale really fast
The 6 and a half minutes of silence and the two and quarter minute hidden track aren’t on the vinyl releases.

I've only ever listened to Dummy and really like that album but never really dug into any of their other albums. Really liking the sound of this one so far!

Portishead as a band is one of my top50 of all time. Naturally, my opinion of this album remains exceedingly positive.
It isn't quite trip-hop. It isn't quite electronic. It's twisted and demented in many other ways. With a few of these songs cutting abruptly, it only adds to the disturbing undertones of the record.
Not quite perfect. "Deep Water" is awkwardly placed between the excellent "We Carry On" and "Machine Gun."
Other than that...
Rating: 4.5/5 [Outstanding]

Still their most recent album. We saw them at Coachella on this tour.

Definitely not the album of theirs that I reach for, but still a stunning record. 4/5
