Mezzanine being ‘chilly’ definitely nails it for me, find it hard to connect to the album beyond the superficial ‘oh this is intetesting’ & it is interesting.

'too much whiff of the old marryjawana'



that is the definition of trip hop for me



'Mezz' has it too...but it goes into the paranoia side of things.



'Mezz' is good but I lose focus second half, tried it again recently and 'Blue Lines' was such an easy flow listen and 'Mezzanine' lost me a little at times.

If anything, I'd say it's Maxinquaye that goes off track a bit in the second half.

'Strugglin' is the only track that approaches average for me.



'Abbaon', 'Brand New', 'You Don't' and 'Feed Me' are top drawer.

You got me there.



Maybe it's more lopsided quality wise than 'Dummy' for me, the first half of 'Mezz' is definitely 5/5 but the second half is more a 4/5. 'Dummy' has 'Numb', 'Roads' and 'Glory Box' second half which are three of the best.



'Dissolved Girl' has really grown off me, 'Group 4' is alright, 'Man Next Door' is good but not amazing, (exchange) is neat but more an encore...



Still, like I said, a 4.5 album nonetheless, it great

"Group 4 is alright".

Understatement.

It's a little overrated, it's one of the better trademark 'Mezz' guitar finales though...just some of what builds up to that is a bit average, at least to justify 5:30 on the clock before the guitar turns up.

Demon think it's pronounced "Max In Key"

Your second reasoning makes sense even if I don't agree with it. I listen to the back half of mezz probably more than the front singles

I've only played myst but might consider checking that one out. I got a lot of associations with a lot of music and WoW
