Title: Dummy
Artiste: Portishead
Genre: Trip-hop
Familiarity: Zero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_...#Track_listing

Track 1(Love) Nice opener, slow, sort of sensual with a rolling drumbeat and some sort of spooky keys. Nice female vox
Track 2 This one's ok. I find it hard to get excited about it though.
Track 3 Yeah it's okay I suppose. Again not too bothered.
Track 4 I'll make an effort here, though I'm not sure it's deserved. This is not bad, nice kind of soul-ish laidback groove but it's very whiny. No, sorry, can't Green it. I tried.
Track 5 Maybe it's just that trip-hop and me are not a good fit. I don't hate this but it's just boring me.
Track 6 Nice organ but bored, bored bored....
Track 7 “Numb”: apt title. When is this going to be over?
Track 8(Love) Okay, this one is actually really, really nice.
Track 9 And now we're back to boring again
Track 10 This isn't boring, just very annoying
Track 11(Love) Surely I know this? Certainly sounds familiar. Well, a good closer then. Eventually.

End result: That was probably one of the most boring things I've ever had to sit through. Sorry DC, but this is definitely not a genre I'd be into if it's all like this.

So, Love or Hate? Neither: it's a solid Meh
