WHOA. Did I read that somebody skips-over "Inertia Creeps (#4)??"
Wow. That's pretty crazy, given that "Inertia Creeps" is one of the dopest songs on Mezzanine. It's like being in a knock-down-drag-out fist-fight in slow motion. What's not to like about that?
AND people down-grading "Black Milk?" What are you guys thinking?

#7 "Man Next Door" is my least likeable, but overall this album is epic as far as 90's music goes. Well yeah, it's pretty epic overall.

And seriously, give 100th Window more of a try. Songs like "Future Proof" and "Special Cases" are vintage Massive Attack. Period.

I am 18 and I just discovered Massive Attack last year. I really liked Portishead and Tricky and thought Trip-Hop was a very interesting musical genre. But it was not until I heard Blue Lines that I understood what Trip-hop was all about. It amazes me that this album is from 1991 because it sounds much more modern and (dare I say) fresher than anything today. The rap anthems, Five Man Army and Blue lines are amazing in their arrangements and slow motion rapping. THIS is what trip hop is all about. It's not suppose to be depressing, it's suppose to be relaxing.

Just buy it and listen for yourself! Highly recommended.

I really like most of this CD. I have no real complaints about it except for the title track and another one by the same vocalist. The lyrics are ridiculously boring and simple. It's really painful to listen to.

Save for those two tracks, this album is quite good. Like Mezzanine, it's got style, class and talent. Spyglass and Karmacoma are especially good. I gave it 3 stars, but I really think it deserves 3.5.

I love this band but for me Mezzanine just had a more dirty, gritty street DJ kind of grit element to it, especially with all those distorted guitars too. BUT I found a better follow up album to Mezzanine which I love and it's not Massive Attack it's actually this unknown artist called Orpheos and the album is called (Project Retrograde). Found it on amazon and I like it more than that 100th window elevator music.
Hope this helps.

7.Pure Moods, Vol. II by: Various Artists, Adiemus lll, Clannad, Craig Armstrong, Dave Koz, Delerium, Dream Academy, Loreena McKennitt, Massive Attack, Various Others

Music : Pure Moods, Vol. II
I'm not sure what must have been going through the minds of the record label when assembling this collection as a sequel to Pure Moods vol. I. Now granted, most of Pure Moods I is actually quite good and enjoy it though I don't think it stacks up to the "Earthtone Collection", "Elevation", or "Buddha Lounge" series nor warranted TV commercials. The second entry in the Pure Moods series is in my opinion, the most uneven and shakiest of the entries for several reasons, several tracks do absolutely nothing for me. "Nightingale" strikes me as meandering classical leftovers from a orchestral outtake. No offense but what on Earth is "Breezin" doing on this collection?! It's not a bad song by any means but it has absolutely no place on here and belongs on a smooth jazz moods collection. The same goes for Dave Koz's "Emily" ... Read More

''Super Predators'' is just superb with this sample of ''metal poscard'' of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Actually, super predators appeared in 1997 on the jackal movie soundtrack. I just simply love it, it's toxic.

The remixes will give you minutes of heady pleasure, especially the ones from 'mezzanine'.

2 1/2

A fair soundtrack album from the pioneering trip-hop group will not go over to well with fans expecting fleshed out, vocal-based singles. Playing out closer to a Dust Brothers disc, this meandering score may work well as background music, though rarely has little of substance to offer when examined closely. In between rambling keyboards and textbook beats Massive Attack does manage to throw a few tracks worth revisiting, but a majority of this generically diverse score fails to engage outside it's cinematic counterpart.

For those who enjoy the listening ventures of electronica and/or world music, this album definitely meets the best of each music style. Though I am more prone to their more popular collections (my favorite of all time: Protection), it was a nice treat to hear Massive Attack create and collaborate with other interesting artists. For instance, the song 'Teardrop' was sung by the former lead singer for the Cocteau Twins; and there was another interesting track sung by Sinead O'Connor. Overall, this 'best of' album consisted of some massively cool stuff.

In addition, the DVD portion was quite interesting. I wasn't expecting to see a strip tease (for 'Be Thankful For What You've Got') as part of this DVD collection; however, that video was done in somewhat good taste. As for the remaining videos, there was some cool ... Read More
