Music : Protection
1 2
Rating: 
- One of the best
This album is simply one of the best - certainly one of the best from the '90s. "Protection" is haunting, soaring, moving...... Tracey Thorn's vocals make this song a classic. Good to know that it gets a full 7-minute treatment on the album as opposwed to the 4-minute single version.
Personal favourite is the instrumental "Heat Miser". Beuatiful repetitive melody combined with discordant breathing. Brilliant!
Every CD collection should have a copy of this album.
Rating: - undescribable majesty.
I was standing at t in the park last year James had just finished their set and i was just coming up ... I had never even heard of MASSIVE ATTACK before they came on,by the time they had left the stage i was a change had taken place within me, only others who had had the pleasure of having MASSIVE ATTACK blow the head off them live will understand what i am going on about but i would just like the world to know 1 thing MASSIVE ATTACK RUN THE SHOW! oh yes i was supposed to be talking about PROTECTION, PROTECTION is just like everything else MASSIVE ATTACK have done, it's from another planet,The feelings and vibes i got from seeing them live was at once both beautiful and terrifing such beauty, power , skill, craftsmanship, integraty, i am not inexperianced when it comes to sounds my tastes ranged from bob dylan to sepultura and i have seen many live powerful acts like metallica and the prodigy but this was something else.Another thing that really impressed me was the lack of pomp and show the various guitarists and singers when not needed liquidly dissapeared and egolessly let their comrades do the damage. AFTER THE GIG, i was trying so hard to get anything with their name on it which in the beggining was proving very hard , now i've got the lot and every time i hear their albums i hear something new PROTECTION is class, as is BLUE LINES but personnally MEZZANINE takes the empire biscuit, a work of art, FROM COATBRIDGE COLLEGE SCOTLAND, MASSIVE ATTACK RULE , PEACE ,,,OUT...
Rating: - Head-nodding chill out, with an angelic touch.
This album kicks off with what is probably one of the finest trip-hoppy tracks you're ever likely to find: "Protection" featuring the gorgeous voice of Tracey Thorn from "Everything but the Girl". Although the song is undeniably brilliant, it's Thorn's sensual whisperings that really makes the track come alive - it's just gorgeous! The next track is also a cracker - "Karmacoma". An upbeat and clever vocal by Tricky on this one, this album marking his last collaboration with Massive Attack before heading off in his own direction. After this storming start the album doesn't noticeably drop in quality, displaying all the trademark Massive Attack touches, especially vocals by the silver-voiced Horace Andy. The rest of the album is original, inventive and always surprising. Overall, I prefer their first album (Blue Lines) just for it's slightly more raw feel, but this is only a personal preference and "Protection" is just as excellent on an objective level. This is an essential album, for it's quality of course, but also as it marks the departure of Tricky at the time when Trip-hop was beginning to break out of it's Bristol environs and become an international movement. If you don't own this album, buy it, you won't regret it.
