Album Rating: 5.0

This album has the highest libido of all the trip hop big hitters and that's the killer ingredient probably.



Better overall than any Massive Attack album, better than any Portishead album.



This is one that takes me back to the mid '90s instantly, it channels the era 100%.

Album Rating: 4.0

Has the murk but not the uplifting soul that is present on Massive Attack albums.



Credit where it’s due though Tricky is proper.

Album Rating: 5.0

When I say it's better it is a close thing but it just edges it.



This album still has a quality I can't quite pin down and I like that. Bowie said this was a key album for him and I can get that.

One of my fave songs of the whole era is Tricky Kid.



Menacing as fuck.

Half of Pre-Millenium Tension is as good as this album.



The other half is a proper up yours to convention and is very arty/worthy but dry as a bone and still a tough listen, god bless him.

Maxinquaye best of all the trip hop Gods agreed. Excited to listen to the remaster now I know it exists.

Album Rating: 4.0

easily the most A-side heavy of any trip-hop classics, but the keepers here are peak

Album Rating: 5.0

For me Side B is still stronger than Side B of 'Mezzanine', about equal with Side B 'Blue Lines', maybe not up to Side B 'Dummy'.



I really like Side B of s/t Portishead thinking about it actually, might be the best of the lot...'Humming', 'Mourning Air', 'Only You', 'Elysium'

Ponderosa is peak ‘This Life’ Egg and what have you.



If you know what I’m prattling on about you lived it.

side B of Mezzanine is probably the best thing to come out of the genre, so that's an L i won't be sharing

'side B of Mezzanine is probably the best thing to come out of the genre'



It's the most one note Side B of the lot for me, horses for courses

'Ponderosa is peak ‘This Life’ Egg and what have you.'



Need to keep my memories of that show and never even think about rewatching any of it, will probably have aged as poorly as when I rewatched some eps of 'Game On' !

Album Rating: 4.0

It’s just so unbelievably 90s that thing. The generation pre coffee shop, pre internet, pre mobile phone, pre millennial and so ‘forward thinking’



Had an absolutely top drawer soundtrack but yeah I bet it’s shite.

Album Rating: 4.5

Maxinquaye Side B may not be as majestic as Side A, but it has Suffocated Love, Strugglin', You Don't and Brand New Retro - it's still strong.

Album Rating: 4.5

Mezzanine still tops for me, but damn if Maxin isn't right up there.

Album Rating: 4.5

Brand New You’re Retro is among the biggest bangers of the ‘90s.

Absolute geezer.



The music industry does not have normal people in it, people like Tricky are two a penny in real life but gold dust in the world of the abnormal.

I was in Berlin this Spring, my mates showed my the supermarket where Tricky does his groceries. Would have been nice to spot him buying (vegan?) bratwurst.

Not gonna lie, I don't like this much at all lol.

This album has the most ‘90s sound of any
