I remember reading somewhere—years back, can’t remember where—Melody Maker, maybe?—a line that Portishead would suffer for creating their own genre. What exactly would constitute “suffering” in this context wasn’t clear, but the notion that they were creating their own sound (it didn’t quite evolve into a full blown genre, for that there would have to be other comparable artists in their class and there just aren’t any) was fairly prescient and has more or less played out, nearly 20 years on. Few bands exist so fiercely on their own terms. Three albums in 17 years? No big deal. Tour the States once a decade? No problem. The overall effect of a career like theirs can be to preempt the commentator, rendering them impervious to criticism. And if they really are their own animal and therefore peerless, how does one critique Portishead? For not being “Portishead” enough?
