Massive Attack

Protection > Mezzanine

Just had to get that in there. Hope the new record's good.

yeah everything i ever read says that protection was a huge let down when it first came out and all i can think is...... really? i think it's pretty fucking quality

Blue Lines > Protection

mezzzanine can´t be compred tho it's too different

the fight in this thread made me seek up mazzy star's discography, i hope y'all are happy

nobody is fighting dude... we are just stating each other preferences. I do like protection a lot but I listen to mezannine a lot more than protection

hopefully the new album is decent.

I've been waiting for this for 3 and a half years, god damn it.

100th window let me down so i'm a little hesitant for this album.

I think we can quite comfortably agree that the Danny the Dog soundtrack is the pinnacle of their artist output

Cheers to this! Can't understand why this release isn't talked about more. It's a masterpiece.

new album pls

None of their old material has aged well for me aside from the fond memories of my teenage years.

Yeah it'd be something special if they graced us with a new one. I also just learned how many other film scores del naja has done. Pretty psyched as I have a whole treasure chest to discover.

For some reason I thought 100th Window came out before Kid A, which would have made it revolutionary.  Still a great album regardless.  Love that Sinead O'Conner track where most of the chords are a whole tone lower than what the melody would normally imply.  Always thought that was a pretty cool, original sounding composition.  Excellent sound design throughout the album.  I'm surprised they didn't have a greater impact on the direction of pop music in subsequent years.

I rate it highly still but I don't listen to it very often anymore.

I had a dream recently featuring 3d from Massive Attack. It was a boardroom meeting about something I can’t remember. He didn’t say anything, just happened to be there.

What does it mean?

Their opening trio is still one of the finest trilogies out there for mine. With 2 solid albums sparsely released later on.

Sadly, I don't find myself playing Blue Lines all that much nowadays, that one has aged a fair bit. Protection probably gets the most rotation from me nowadays, an easy, diverse listen.
