Going by the singles (I'm unsure as to the quality of this album and therefore have held off immediate purchasing...) the problem is there's absolutely no depth, and yet what surfaces there are remain far from entrancing in and of themselves... the folk things sound too new-agey, lacking in that special spectralness or real delicacy of a Vashti Bunyan vocal, say (and the chordings backing them are pretty duff). The dubstep stuff is nicely produced (perhaps too nicely produced- no edge to any of it) and the vocals are lyrically and tonally un-interesting, they sound phoned in.... so its more that it doesn't sound enough like a 2006 Portishead! There's no real sense of emotional involvement or drama (as there was with Beth Gibbons), and the backings just kind of sit there, never reaching a hard hitting sonic climax... oh well...
