what's /mu/ opinion on it?

>>72585932
pretty good. blue lines is bttr tho

>>72585932
good album, prefer portishead

>>72585932
very memorable and has a great vibe throughout. I think this is their best work but blue lines is close 2nd

It's a great album, and I'm not trying to be contrarian, but I find 100th Window to be superior.

Bretty gud, though Teardrop is a bit overrated (Black Milk is better) and I don't get why Exchange (Instrumental) is on the album.

>>72585932
it's a classic and a great album

people don't talk about it much because you can't really talk shit about it and, well this is /mu/, you only talk shit here

MA+Tricky > MA without

>>72585932
deserves all the praise it gets

>>72586076
>Teardrop is a bit overrated
this

No one prefers Protection over Mezzanine?

i lost my virginity to this album, it's a great album for setting the mood...

>>72586142
I do, I prefer their earlier sound system/Jamaican roots influence

Protection > No Protection > Blue Lines > the rest

>>72586142
>Protection the track
maybe their best song
>Protection the album
dunno, it has the name track and maybe... Karmakoma?

>>72586193

Sly > Karmacoma

this song brings me somewhere else it's crazy

why is Heligoland so underrated

Is it possible to hate Massive Attack?

>>72586210

I know dude. Atlas Air is.. whoa

I love Dissolved Girl too much.

good album

have sex/10

>>72586142
I love protection for late night drives

>>72585939
This

>>72586230
you'd have to be a massive pleb

>>72585932
Great album. Love it and Blue Lines

>>72586076
>I don't get why Exchange (Instrumental)

because it's the second best cut behind Black Milk

One of my favorites, love the sexy and druggy vibes

The production is top-notch

Good album. Sometimes the instrumentals overshadow the vocals, but other than that...it's legit

>>72586200
Sly (Underdog Mix) > Sly

Massive Attack agrees with me too, that's why they opened their BBC 4 Essential Mix with it.

Too front heavy, I lose interest after the first 4 tracks, which are pretty fucking good.

>>72587626
Try adderall?

>>72587655
I enjoy plenty of music that requires patience or attentive listening, I just don't care much for Mezzanine past the initial couple of tracks.

But it was a great quip friend, I'm sure people watch their words carefully around you to avoid one of your trademark biting retorts.

>>72585932
Actually just know that one song from the original Assassin's Creed TV ad. Teardrop was it called I think

>mfw the bass on Lately

>>72587847
Most of the country has heard part Teardrop at this point, between that commercial and being the theme for House.

good album, has aged like milk tho

>>72587913
>has aged like milk tho
fuck you

>>72587932
it has

the production screams "90s", in a odd way
the vocals range from passable to outright mediocre
it gets a bit repetitive after a few songs
still a great album

>>72587970
>it's not trap or chillstep garbage so it aged like shit
mmmmmmmmmmmkay

It's consistent throughout, the instrumentals create a sufficiently dark yet emotional mood, the vocals (especially Collete's) are mostly spot on. I get what >>72587626
Is saying, the first four tracks are full on and then it cools off a little, but for me the albums builds to a climax on Group Four, probabky one of their greatest songs. This was MA at their peak, also reminds me of an interesting time of my adolescence.

>>72588010
no and no
wasn't even talking about that

bet you're a millenial faggot who knows portishead, massive attack, the list goes and listens to the "mu essentials playlist"

it isn't a bad album but to deny that it doesn't sound like a very basically produced album with cheesy, almost laughable at parts vocals (again, still a good album) screams of enlightened millenial with a fetish for the 90s

>>72585932
It's my personal favorite of Massive Attack, even tho it's got those edgy vibes. It's nice music to relax to on a rainy day.

>>72588083
actually the millennial would probs have to be you for using descriptors like cheesy and laughable instead of seeing the album for what it is which is a product of it's time that's aged just about fine

Good album

>>72586621
I thought it was there for remixes or rappers or something?

>>72585932
The first 5 tracks are one of the greatest musical achievements of all time.

Because Inertia Creeps is so incredibly intense there needs to be a calm

I've said this before... but this album contains objectively the two best hip hop tracks of all time:
