By far my most favorite MassiveAttack album. I've owned this album for some years and guarantee I will own it for many more. Teardrops is top of list on my All Time Tracks.
The guest singers MassiveAttack have on their albums is always of top quality. Mezzanine delivers in all aspects and is what electronic music is all about. Robert Del Naja is the key on this album, a brilliant song writer and vocalist. Inertia Creeps is such a deep song with a fantastic bass line and can really get you in the mood (if you know what I mean).
MassiveAttack are continually producing quality albums but they are few and far between. It's what makes them more special. I managed to see MassiveAttack at Creamfields a few years ago and they performed Teardrops AND Intertia Creeps Live, amazing.
Mezzanine definately has a more modern electronic ...
Advantages: Sound design. Interesting soundscapes. Sinead O'Connor. Disadvantages: Melodic content non existent. Slightly dodgy production in areas.
Where are the tunes guys? What happened to the catchy riffs that made your songs instantly recognisable?
There are more questions than answers on this album - the most pressing being - 'What has happened to MassiveAttack'
MassiveAttack's albums are great listening experiences (before this one) - in particular Mezzanine. And their singles (before the singles from this album) were very memorable - most noticeably Teardrop - from Mezzanine.
On this album - there is nothing memorable, because it all sounds so 'samey'.
MassiveAttack are great at creating soundscapes - and that is something they have achieved very well on this album as well. The problem with this album - is that there is not a lot on top of those soundscapes - it's all very well doing sound design - but you have to have something that interest the ears ...
Advantages: Every single thing that is right with music on a CD Disadvantages: Doesn't have every Massive Attack song on it ever made
Corr blimey! Imagining quite who wouldn't want to listen to the sonic perfection of MassiveAttack is possibly beyond me.
MassiveAttack have always been a part of my life, although an indirect one, as my mother was a very big fan of all their releases, but it was not until litrally a couple of weeks ago it truly dawned on me the beauty of their work.
I was sat in a hot sweaty exam room with 13 other students taking my AS level Music Technology exam, when I turned the page and the next track on the prompt CD began playing Teardrop to my humble ears.
For a few minutes, I actually had to stop answeting questions, to simply sit and take this track in properly. I was blown away with a feeling of self worth and accomplishment, when all I had done was listen to my exam piece?
Surely no band (especially one frm Bristol, home ...

DVD Description
Starkly packaged, Massive Attack's first DVD release comprises all the band's promos, and is as dark and inventive as the group's music. These rarely seen clips, including "Unfinished Sympathy," "Protection," and "Risingson," are filmed by a number of young directors, and prove an occasionally quite unsettling viewing experience. "Eleven Promos" shows that Massive take the medium every bit as seriously as their music.
