On this Album Review on Blogger I will be reviewing a classic British album which was released on the 22nd August 1994 from a Trip hop band Called Portishead with their debut album Dummy.
Portishead are a British band from Bristol they were formed in 1991. They are considered as one of the pioneers in the Trip hop genre. This is Portishead debut album which is called Dummy which was released on 22nd August 1994. This was the album that went on to win the 1995 Mercury music prize which in my opinion was well deserved for them to win it since this was the first band from the Trip hop genre to win the Mercury prize. I first discovered Portishead from the song Sour times which was played on the radio. The production of the track Sour times reminded me of another trip hop group called Massive Attack. Massive Attack and Portishead are two of the famous Trip hop groups from the 90s.
This debut album from Portishead its a very interesting album and quite special actually because the sounds and the production sounds like a relaxed album for a fan who just wants to relax and listen to some great Trip hop music. It's such a fantastic album the production is amazing I often listen to this album non stop. Beth's voice in this album is phenomenal she has an outstanding voice in all of the tracks on this album.
My favourite Tracks on this album are Mysterons, Sour times, It could be sweet,Numb and Biscuit.Out of all of these 5 favourite tracks of mine from the album I really love the song It could be sweet because I love the sounds and the production it sounds chilled and relaxed and it makes me want to dance to this relaxing song. I do not have a least favourite track.
Overall I loved this album so much. This album means a lot to me it's one of my favourite albums of all time. I would definitely listen to it again. Overall its a 10/10
