The good stuff is really good, but the rest is really forgettable. the whole thing reminds me of the Wedding Present/Cinerama split where the latter tried to be a more soundtracky kind of thing. And as for the Portishead. I love the album, but I can't believe that something so harsh and downright scary has been so universally acclaimed. It really isn't an easy album to listen to, more like uneasy listening, but yet I keep coming back to it. Who'd have thought that Portishead would have made one of the best albums of 2008 after such a long time away?

LSP are undoubtedly retro, but a song like "Meeting Place" is too infectious not to like. Here's an acoustic version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JKKUxmVzeM “Third” and “The Age Of Understatement” were 2 of my fave albums of 2008.
