Also tricky was always the least important member of massive attack as he was a lazy shithead and maxinquaye is vastly inferior to this and dummy in every way possible

Pots if you can't hear that Massive Attack was starting to become more of a Del Naja solo thing at this point then I can't help you lol. Bands don't usually split '100% happy, 100% happy, split' - this was going in the musical direction of the following 2 albums that are Del Naja on his own, it's starting to become his baby at this stage.
"Founding member Andrew 'Mushroom’ Vowles didn’t like the albums’s new direction and left shortly after it was released in acrimonious circumstances. He hasn’t spoken to Marshall and Del Naja since."
I prefer 'Maxinquaye' to this and 'Dummy', not that unheard of an opinion. This album didn't blow me away when it came out, I found it a bit one toned and one paced to enjoy listening to start to finish again and again...and still do. It's a 'I've got to track 6 do I need more of the same?' album and the answer is usually 'no'. 'Maxinquaye' I never feel like that, maybe the last 2 songs I can take or leave but the rest just flows so well. I prefer Portishead's self titled to Dummy too, just personal taste, I guess more idiocy there ;)
I'm not saying Tricky was the most important element of Massive Attack. I agree that once he'd got the 'f you MA' out of his system releasing 'Maxinquaye' he then got lazier and less inspired.

100th window is the only massive attack album that is del naja on his own. maybe you should know what the fuck you are talking about before you speak instead of shooting shit out your dick hole. mush left because he didnt like the musical direction being taken but daddy g left because he became a parent. daddy g is 110% present on this album and u can feel it just in the difference between 100th window when he is absent and heligoland when he came back (which u seem to think is a naja solo album because you're retarded as fuck). plus u neglect the fact that davidge has been a strong and present force across all three of these albums on production. basically everything you can ever say is discredited by the fact that you just said that heligoland is a del naja solo album. you're an idiot. fuck off and stop talking about music. thanks, bye.
This album didn't blow me away when it came out,
lmfao at the insinuation that u heard this album when it came out you baby faced bitch.

Pots you crease me up. You get found out and just shoot off your mouth. I already know everything you've told me, I know daddy g came back for heligoland but the direction still sounds predominantly del Naja to me. The first two albums sound totally different (like a collaboration of different musical approaches) and there were more players involved taking a major role (my original point lest we forget) to the following ones. You are so literal in your interpretation of things, I love it.
Of course I listened to this when it came out, it was everywhere in 1998. Yes I have been listening to this album for 17 years, so I feel qualified to talk about it.

When you join a site like this you want to find people like Pots, he rules this place, he has his followers, he loves a skirmish and the stakes always seem higher when you're arguing with Potsy.
Helps pretty much every post he puts up is funny, usually at someone else's expense

Blob I remember when this came out it didn't meet with universal acclaim straight away, it was a sleeper critical hit.
Got a lot of 2.5/5 and 3/5 reviews at first and then lo and behold it made all the Top 100 albums of the 90's lists from the same critics 2 years later.

Are you sure doof? I remember a few mags raving about it. There was a live appearance on some show where they did Inertia Creeps and everyone went mental about it, The teardrop vid made everyone's jaws drop and the album was highly regarded as soon as it was on the shelves from what I can recall.

On my first listen I knew it was something special, it certainly wasn't a 'mindblower' but it had something that nothing else did despite everyone at the time seeming to release a 'downer' album after the euphoric rush of 'britpop''
