No one has it dibbed - I have some vague notes halfway approximating a writeup, might get there but no promises. Certainly don't let that stop you if you want to write something though!

Let’s just ask chatgpt to write it up in the style of KILL

Album Rating: 5.0

They must be able to, analysing all those KILL reviews to get the tone juuuust slightly besides right.



Thanks Sunny! I'm not in the right frame of mind to write something about this (yet?) but it's good to know that I shouldn't be expecting anything soon here either.

I will never get the immense love this gets. It's absolutely disproportionate from my perspective but such is life... It's a good album but to see it placed in many Top 10 lists albums of all time makes me scratch my head. Massive Attack did this with much more class and quality imho. This is more inside your head atmosphere, more inwards oriented if that makes any sense. It's a bit claustrophobic/paranoia inducing sometimes even. Massive Attack feels more relaxed and outwards, more extroverted and "sane".

Album Rating: 4.0

Probably you’re talking about Blue Lines or Protection, right? Mezzanine or even 100th Window is as claustrophobic as it gets. The video for Risingson is the prototype of claustrophobia, while that for Angel is paranoia in your face, fits perfectly to the beats.

I mean, the omnipresent sense of dread/ frigid paranoia is exactly what I LOVE about this so it sounds like an opinion thing

ALSO Beth Gibbons' voice gave my ginger ass a soul then stole it away

Yeah sounds like a preference thing. Which is even more true for the s/t... 🥶 That thing is frigid and sharp as steel.

S/t is so dark I love it so much.

Yeah I m talking about Blue Lines

Album Rating: 5.0

Blue Lines is a definite top 5 album of all time for me. It's unstoppable and perfect and unique and alive.

Tricky mastered the warped dark atmosphere.



These perfected the noir, old times feel.



Massive Attack perfected genre changing, life altering music.



They’ve all stood the test of time to be fair but this one’s particular schtick doesn’t have the weight behind it.



A great album with one of the best songs of all time on it in Glory Box but the sense of escapism, danger and adventure isn’t there like it is with Masssive Attack.



It’s always been the way.

@Meta AI generate a rebuttal to Zakalwe’s low-effort bait; I’m too tired to today.

i dont think thats bait in fairness

Me neither, he is absolutely on point

Tricky has easily aged the worst between the three lol, understatement and emotional clout on this only sound better every passing yr

Tired of Glory Box though. Maybe it's years of hearing it as BBC drama fodder, maybe it's too twee for this record, maybe it's too upbeat. Still lands as a closer but I never feel a need to hear it otherwise

Album Rating: 5.0

Glory Box is like, instant coffee commercial-core. I like it, but it’s not the best track here.

LMAO, that's a great descriptor.

It’s very amusing that two people with such (usually) different perspectives converged on similar thoughts here. Of course Frost likes MA more. Obvious. I’m surprised someone who sees music from a less technical, surgical standpoint would feel the same tbh
