    Still features that somber melodramatic mewling that all their songs have, backed by music that usually sounds fit for a eulogy . Their music is like a long soundtrack to a movie about an autistic child that struggles to survive on the streets and finally dies unloved in a bus station bathroom in a puddle of piss having choked on a rotten banana.

    Would be nice if Beth and the band could step out of their comfort zone and expand their style.

      You must be thinking of a different band. In the Portishead version, the child would die in a garden, clutching a note that says “wait for me -Mummy”, and the child’s tears would water a rose bush that loved the child very much.
