Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: By the release of 1998's Mezzanine, critics were suddenly of the understanding that Massive Attack were one of the most important bands in the world. Bristol's original trip-hop pioneers had, on previous albums Blue Lines and Protection, fused turntable wizardry to the warmest of soul. With Mezzanine, however, the party had ended; revisiting the murky soundscapes so favoured by former partner and fellow Bristolian Tricky, the comeback single "Rising Son" muttering edgily about "cheap beer filled with crocodile tears", over the deepest bass. Tensions were heightened by the news that the making of Mezzanine was riven by inter-band rifts. The friction, though, seems to have create some gems; "Inertia Creeps" is drenched in menace, and "Teardrop" features the ethereal vocals of Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins--both of these a benchmark not just for the band, but for the trip-hop genre. Bleak, but powerfully beautiful. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Perfect Ambience Teardrop is obviously the stand out song from this album and is most likely the soul reason why people buy it, but whilst being quite different from the other tracks it fits in somehow. This is the kind of album you can just go out to, travel, and it suits urban surroundings so much its almost cinematic. Whilst Angel and Teardrop are the strongest songs, Dissolved Girl and Rising Son both have bags of catchy melody. Rising Son and Group Four have similar patterns in that they both end up breaking down the song into one very catchy riff of some sort, making it the pinnacle of the song. Although the album does sound very drug inducing, it can be enjoyed either way really. One downside to the album is some of the repetitiveness from one of the ...

It's calming, dark and beautifully written, especially songs like "Risingson", "Teardrop" and "Black Milk" (my new favourite!) Buy this album, prepare to fall in love. Rating:  - I'm in loveI truly adore this album. Each song has it's own atmosphere and aura that I can barely put into words! I'd have to say Black Milk is my favourite due to it's 'dark' feeling.. But each one is as good as the last.. In my opinion, this album has no faults.. It truly is an album you can listen to intently or have as 'background music'.. Rating:  - g7ig7iYeah man, I dig "Teardrop" too. That "der-der der-cah" beat is sublime; the only time Mezzanine approaches true beauty through its instrumentation. You have to remember that Music Has the Right to Children was released in the same year though, and, compared with that album, Massive Attack's supposed classic falls way short. Different records, I know, but there's enough similarity in style for the comparison to be valid. While Boards of Canada used subtle melodies and ambience to stunning effect, Massive Attack retreat to their safety zone and use cheesy, weak female vocals, with lyrics that verge on embarrassing far too often. Does anyone even carry on listening after track four has finished? Rating: - Not enough stars available.....Listening to this album still gives me goosebumps, it really is that good. 9 years on, and it still sounds fresh and innovative. Haunting vocals, deep bass, atmospheric, and an incredibly dark mood. Both chilled out and disconcerting at the same time. The vocals and build to a sudden crescendo on 'Dissolved Girl' being one of my favourite parts of the album. An album every music fan should own, and a perfect antidote to the manufactured rubbish that gets broadcast over the airwaves. |
