Neat and all, but I'd be even happier if they flirted with the experiment of actually touring a new album, rather than serving as trip-hop's answer to Roger Waters, touring forever on the same 12 songs.

I'd say the same thing but I saw them on the Mezzanine nostalgia tour in Chicago, which was very expensive, and it was... not one of the best shows I've seen. I'd seen them a couple times prior and they were fine (I was both times surprised by the guest vocalists they'd managed to drag along on those tours). The Mezzanine tour though was like Spinal Tap's appearance on the Simpsons; "there will be no encore!".
I thoroughly enjoyed their Toronto show on that tour. To be fair it was the first time I’d seen them in concert so I didn’t have any points of comparison.
I also hadn’t really clued in to just how political they were until seeing their visuals, which I also thought added a lot. Surely not everyone’s cup of tea though.
New band albums are rumored and hinted-at, from time to time, by Geoff Barrow, though it seems hard to say if there will be another.
Bear in mind Beth made "Out of Season" apart from Portishead several years before the release of "Third." I wouldn't think her recent solo work indicates a split.
Massive Attack has 7 albums, so what are you talking about?
While I agree, in that I'd love a new album.
God damn those are 12 great songs!
