Yeah Blue Lines was really cool but the only track that comes close to Mezzanine is U.S.

Blue lines and protection are the same shit

Quality-wise or sound-wose? Cuz protection sounds fairly different

Protection is a direct advancement of Blue Line's sound, both are chill out.

"Yeah Blue Lines was really cool but the only track that comes close to Mezzanine is U.S."



safe from harm tho

Quality and sound wise they are the same shit

Really what I'm saying is that picking one over the other is arbitrary

Really what you're saying is that you suffer from a cripppling depression.

allow me to guide you how to feel about this review, it's half-right and half-safely-ignorable. the DJ Shadow pimp should tell you this is an old skool crate digging purist, who prefers the "timelessly" familiar of Endtroducing to what was and still is, a landmark layering of sound that basically created the blueprint for people like fuck buttons and burial. (both better and more forward thinking than Shadow, as evidenced by the latter's disappearing act after his (very minor) classic/
5/0 period

ask yourself why guys like TVOTR, Burial, Run the Jewels and more are banging down the door STILL to work with 3d? while shadow is lucky if micky Avalon returns his texts these days
bc you cant bullshit talent

That said, there is a LOT of spottiness after Mezza. But usually at least 3-4 aces to make it worth it. And ritual is front to back perfect.
Menacing, tuneful, not old tricks, gorgeously produced. Alive.
ps if u think Maxinquaye is better go listen to the music again. way more boilerplate triphoppy

Massive Attack are pretty consistently great tho

if anything its the two after that hinted at an exciting new abrasive sound, but ppl abandoned him then

Hey don't shit on Maxinquaye dude. Besides, welcome :]

saw them live last year and ONLY songs that didn't sound out of a time capsule were mezza++

risingson still sounds incredible like kevin shields covering portishead

not shitting on quaye at all I just wish the fans went with him as he got weird
reminds me of death grips a little

How tf does it remind you of death grips

"not shitting on quaye at all I just wish the fans went with him as he got weird

I'm going through his discog actually - Nearly and Pre-Millennium Tension aren't as amazing as Maxinquaye but definitely great, agree they're underrated.
