La prima impressione che abbiamo avuto è che il 2008 abbia fornito alcuni titoli 'sostanziosi', su cui si è concentrata l'attenzione della maggior parte degli ascoltatori (riviste, siti o semplici votanti di ET). Salta infatti subito all'occhio, scorrendo tra le varie classifiche, la costante presenza di dischi come il terzo dei Portishead o di Dear Science dei TV On The Radio, pressoché votati, ed ai piani alti, da tutti. Si tratta, in entrambi i casi, di piacevoli conferme. Per quanto riguarda i Portishead, non ci speravamo davvero più, a dieci anni di distanza dal precedente disco e non possiamo che compiacerci del loro ottimo stato di salute artistica. Quanto ai TV On The Radio, è fuori luogo parlarne ancora come di una band nuova o emergente, trovandoci ormai di fronte al terzo disco (su tre) di alto livello.
