The June release date is for the States - it's already out in most of the
world (including Canada, where Pietro is). I don't like it *quite* as much
as the first album - not as much progression as I was hoping, and too many
tracks fall into the same "let's fuck up the vocals" rut that ruined the
second Portishead record for me. But it's still pretty damn good, all in
all.

And if you have the chance to see them live (I expect they'll hit North
America this summer) - GO!! They are outstanding. When they did "Gorecki",
I nearly wept.
