11.08.16 | Mezz heavy but that was inevitable |

11.08.16 | @Toad I like that album but it lacks highlights imo, these are songs that stick out to me

11.08.16 | 1&2 are my favorite songs off those albums respectively. mezzanine would be in my top 5 though |
polyrhythm
11.08.16 | the title track? I overplayed it :/ |
ConcubinaryCode
11.08.16 | yea, i definitely have too. ive got like 220ish scrobbles just on my itunes alone but i still think its terrific time to time. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.08.16 | i dont think anything off either of the new eps or 100th window would be on my top 10 tbh |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.08.16 | it would probably be all mezz and a little heligo and splitting the atom ep |

11.08.16 | No mezzanine? ! |
RoundOnEndHiInMiddle
11.08.16 | only two songs not from mezz in my top ten would be 19 and 9 |

11.08.16 | Protection is top 3 |
danielcardoso
11.08.16 | i'd have protection and five man army here for sure, nice to see group four and karmacoma tho. |
polyrhythm
11.08.16 | @Pots idk Ritual Spirit is pretty much perfect to me, and Future Proof gets under my skin hard. Curious what your ranking would be bruh |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.16 | i like everything on ritual spirit and spoils a lot i just like everything on mezz better than anything else theyve done other than paradise circus... and that wouldnt leave room for much else |
polyrhythm
11.09.16 | what off of the splitting the atom EP is so good? Never checked it, thought the t/t sucked |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.16 | i guess im not sure if they would even count since they are remixes but there are two tracks on there that aren't the same as the Heligoland versions. it has the album versions of pray for rain and splitting the atom but then it has a remix of flat of the blade called bulletproof love and also a remix of Psyche that is like 400x better than the album version and that song would make my top 20 massive attack songs if i'm allowed to count it;

Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.16 | i havent actually mapped it out but other potential songs that might end in my top 20 are pray for rain, girl i love you, flat of the blade, and babel
everything on the two new eps would be close to those tho, except the spoils which is my least favourite. its good but it just sounds like a protection era massive attack and so it kind of just seemed a little underwhelming for me |
polyrhythm
11.09.16 | I mean I included Girl I Love You which is basically Angel sped up so I'm sure remixes can count ;]
I agree that The Spoils is familiar territory, I guess I was just enamoured with how beautiful the vocal and arrangements are... pure ear candy |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.16 | when i saw it had Hope Sandoval I was expecting something a little more heartbreakingly cathartic if you know what I mean... since that song did so well
instead it was just a little too plain and familiar for my tastes. i may have liked it more if i didnt go into it with such expectations
also the fact that all the other songs released have been so broody made that song kind of puzzle my expectations further. |
polyrhythm
11.11.16 | I didn't know anything about The Spoils, who was on the track or anything. I jammed it with little to no expectations
Agreed that it is all feathery and bright compared to the other songs from this year, I guess I forgave that because it was just a single, it doesn't have to stylistically fit into a bigger jigsaw puzzle at this stage
If it is on the upcoming LP though, and the rest of the album is all deep men's voices over sinister basslines, it might be super awkward. Like one square of white chocolate in a block of dark |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.11.16 | its not a single tho that release is actually an ep according to the band themselves and their website, just a very short 2 song ep. |
zakalwe
11.11.16 | Nice one rainman |
Ashen
11.11.16 | mezz t/t is mad underrated imo tbh. agreed with 1 but group four and maybe antistar would be ranked much more favorably for me personally |
Ashen
11.11.16 | you see a man's fayyceeee

Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.11.16 | yeah mezz t/t is one of the best on the alb imo |
FullOfSounds
11.11.16 | Mezz t/t is top 5 on the album imo |
MercuryToHell
11.11.16 | Special Cases has a solid place in my heart, but Angel and Karmacoma are right up there. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.11.16 | all i know is number one is black milk and number two is paradise circus |
FullOfSounds
11.11.16 | I can't pick a favorite... Angel, Paradise Circus, Unfinished Sympathy, and Take It There would def be up there |
zakalwe
11.11.16 | Number two is paradise circus. lol. |
