Third is the third studio album by English electronic music band Portishead. It was first released on 28 April 2008 in the United Kingdom by Island Records and a day later in the United States by Mercury Records. Portishead's first studio album in eleven years, it moved away from the trip hop style they had popularised, incorporating influences such as krautrock, surf rock, doo wop, and the film soundtracks of John Carpenter.
Third was named one of the best albums of 2008 by several publications. It entered the top ten of several countries' music charts and has Gold certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
