Massive Attack, Protection Review

Overall Rating

The flow of the CD is very consistent. I agree with another online interview when they say this is the perfect album if you're driving around a city at 4am I could totally put that with this album. I absolutely love the piano work on the tracks especially #9 Heat Miser kind of reminds me of Stripsearch by Faith No More at some points.

Havent found any yet.

When I started listening to Massive Attack the 1st thing I picked up was Mezzanine which I found absolutely amazing. Then I picked up Blue Lines which was a different-sounding album compaired to Mezzanine. Blue Lines had a more hip hop and reggae feel to it mainly because of Horace Andy's Vocals. Later I did have the experience of seeing them live for the 1st time only really knowing Mezzanine/Blue Lines songs and I found that they did play stuff off of 100th Window and Protection. Shortly after I got 100th Window So in order I started with Mezzanine, Blue Lines, 100th Window then last Protection so I kind of bounced around their discography a little only to end up in the middle with Protection. I, however, didn't find this a disappointment. I think it is a perfect 2nd effort and wouldn't want it any other way.
