I do like a lot on this and Sinead is very good but this is behind Mezzanine, Blue Lines and Heligoland for me

it's consistent... i mean it's basically the same fucking song 9 times... and it's not MA's best song... but it's a good song... it's just a monotonous chore. this is why you don't leave 3d alone.

There's a consistent atmosphere and the tempos don't change much, but there's plenty of variety to the sounds and melodies. The first 3 tracks alone sound very different to each other. I like that Heligoland mixed things up though, it isn't too inferior to this tbh.

heligoland has higher highs and lower lows but the highs alone blow this entire thing out of the water there is no competition whatsoever

Their best IMO... the word is COLD. Mezzanine was an universal classic, a black diamond, strangely unaltered by all the commercials/fictions/documentaries that included Teardrop & Angel in their soundtracks to sell more of their shit/seem more effective/embellish their subject.
This one wasn't made to please everybody, it's really different, with the same frame ; It's colder, as if Del Naja drawn his creature in liquid nitrogen. And it's deceitful, cause first times it just skates over you, you think they lost their power, their personnality, and then finally you realize 3D fooled you ; you can almost see his sardonic grin. MA's sound turn sicker here, in a way - and definitly sanitized. It's the most frozen, freezing, play-for-insomnia kind of trip hop, far from what they did in the 90's in terms of atmosphere and attitude, because each MA work reflects its time, this one reflects in a way post-9/11 state of mind, paranoia, anger, 90's were colorful, 00's are just grey, and fucking cold... 100th window is offensive, thanks to Del Naja and, amazingly, Sinead O'Connor vocals on two of its best tracks Prayer for England & Special Cases - the only tracks where you'll find something close to a human emotion, feigned or not. There's maybe one or two average songs here, but you just forget about them when Antistar takes you in the end.
Fluid and lethal.

It’s crazy this went over a year without a single comment given how much attention the other albums all still get.
I think what Pots said is right, Heligoland has higher highs and lower lows but it’s the likes of Paradise Circus that bring me back when I haven’t revisited this for at least 18 months. Really solid, but I’d never gone beyond the way park just said - maybe I should re-listen

Idk this album is very underrated, I specifically love What Your Soul Sings moreso than anything on Heligo

I like Paradise Circus more than the 2-3 worst songs here, but otherwise this is far and away a better album

I like prayer for England even though it’s just angel part 2

Not even? The only song I could possibly describe as Angel part 2 is Girl I Love You
|

Bruh paradise circus is better than every song on this album combined and it’s not even close

I don’t remember enjoying this one all that much 🤔

There are actually multiple songs on heligoland that I like better than anything on this. And even the ones that aren’t are still vastly more memorable even if just by virtue of heligoland not being the most homogenous album ever made like this just quite possibly might be

i like the hidden track on this it sounds like 70s electronic almost
