I had always hoped that Portishead would someday write a joyful upbeat song
It's a Fire comes pretty close.
Still features that somber melodramatic mewling that all their songs have, backed by music that usually sounds fit for a eulogy . Their music is like a long soundtrack to a movie about an autistic child that struggles to survive on the streets and finally dies unloved in a bus station bathroom in a puddle of piss having choked on a rotten banana.
Would be nice if Beth and the band could step out of their comfort zone and expand their style.
