I was a nerdy kid at boarding school. Me and my friends lived on the Mezzanine floor of our boarding school, and were nicknamed the Mezzanine Massive. We f**ked about drinking and playing FIFA late at night. Some guy in another house started writing a silly newsletter about the school, so we wrote our own newspaper. We printed 100 copies and send it out, and became famous in the school. Some guy took his copy to the school library, and used his entire annual photocopying allowance to make more and more copies. It flooded the school. Nobody knew who wrote it. And then one of our distributers was beaten up to reveal that it was us... Badasses... It was the summer of 1998, and "Angel" by Massive Attack was in Adidas' advert on TV in the lead-up to the World Cup. With DEL PIERO, ZIDANE, and BECKHAM. The whole of the "Mezzanine" album by Massive Attack comes out, and became our anthem. It was so so cool. And all of a sudden, us dweebs, us misfits, us inbetweeners... pumping out Massive Attack, whilst we wrote a magazine that nearly got us expelled... WE became cool. We ruled the f@@@ng school. That album, "Mezzanine", is so massive in my life. The sleeve art, with it's metal and beetle, is so so iconic. Stark harsh black and white, and the CD inside - bright vivid fluorescent orange with no artwork - so startling. I've DJed in lots of countries. And tracks from this album have been played in unusual bars across the world, by me, as a result. i bought the anniversary album, with remixes, and that CD sits in my collection. My original CD is at the Ship, the legendary music pub in Soho, London, where it's still played to mesmerised ears. In a heavy metal/rock pub with massive music history. Hendrix, Bowie, the Who, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, the Animals, Motorhead - they all drank at the Ship... They all left their legend at the pub, and so I've added Massive Attack to the mix. I'm so happy to leave my original 1998 CD in a place with so much history. The album means a lot to me, and thinking that today's teenage staff at that pub will find and play that album, in the pub that I f*****ing love... it gives me a wonderful shiver...

Unfinished Sympathy, protection, karma coma, safe from harm, and pretty much anything off the albums, Blue Lines, Protection, then Mezzanine. Even the songs on Protection and Blue Lines that no-one ever discusses are worth listening to on headphones in the dark. By the way, Massive Attack treat video as an art form too, so their music videos are extraordinary. You can get those on a separate collectors’ disc but theyre all on the internet now anyway (with the possible exception of Be Thankful, he he).

Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky: how great it was to experience something unique after the 1980s. Great music of the '70s, then mainly an abomination of the '80s, and such rare miracles later. Hearing all of them live. Yes, I am that old, but it was great luck experiencing great music (including apex of the jazz) - you can hardly find comparable today.

I requested this one because of the Portishead reaction and you saying that there was a masculine/feminine contrast to it or something like that, which reminded me of a similar contrast in some Massive Attack songs. The lyrics are by Liz on guest vocals as others mentioned. They touch on love, beauty, and loss. There's also kind of a mysterious story about them, that she was recording the song in the studio and was thinking about an ex, Jeff Buckley (another unbelievable musician), and reading letters from him. She had already written the words, but before recording the song, she learned that Buckley had just died by drowning, so the vocals are full of that grief. At least that's one version of the story. Anyway, thank you! You say you're not musically inclined but I find your reactions deep and I always get something new out of them, even though I've heard songs like this 100 times.

I first heard this with my partner, the mother of my children, while the middle aged mantle we'd subconsciously aquired was being gently melted away by our first MDMA. We were 38, thinking and behaving like we were 50. We'd lost who we were... Teardrop started, and as the words "Love, love is a verb. Love is a doing word..." rolled into us we made eye contact. Suddenly we saw each other as the people we were inside the callouses of suburban life. She 16, me 18, so full of love fir each other. (I have huge, salty tears falling on my 'phone writing this...) That night was a revelation. It stays to this day. I'm 60 now but I'm still reaping the gifts that she, this track and MDMA unlocked that night. It still brings those feelings to the fore every time I hear it. Thank you! ☮️

Massive Attack came out of the Bristol trip hop scene in the late '80s, formed by Robert Del Naja (3D), Grant Marshall (Daddy G), Andrew Vowles (Mushroom), and Adrian Thaws (Tricky). Tricky left to start his own career in the early '90s and Mushroom left the band in '99. 3D and Daddy G have continued as Massive Attack, sometimes providing their own vocals on their albums (most of them by 3D), but are also known for working with other great singers on their albums, including Sinead O'Connor, Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl, legendary reggae singer Horace Andy, and Elizabeth Fraser from dreampop pioneers Cocteau Twins. She provides vocals on this track, which is from Massive Attack's 1997 best selling album Mezzanine. For Cocteau Twins fans, it was a revelation. The band had recently broken up, devastating their devoted fan base. So having Fraser sing a handful of songs with Massive Attack gave the fans some hope. The fact that she's also singing almost intelligible lyrics ("love, love is a verb; love is a doing word") after years of obscuring her lyrics and making them unintelligible was huge. This song was a major moment in Massive Attack's and Cocteau Twins fans' history. It's a personal favorite and this whole album, as well as the rest of Massive Attack's catalogue, is worth checking out.

Massive Attack, the British trip-hop group, is renowned for intertwining music with activism, addressing various social and political issues: • Climate Action: They’ve been vocal about the music industry’s environmental impact. In 2019, co-founder Robert Del Naja commissioned the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research to map the carbon footprint of touring and explore sustainable practices. They’ve also supported climate activists like Extinction Rebellion, performing at protests to raise awareness.  • Human Rights Advocacy: In 2024, Massive Attack canceled a concert in Georgia to protest the government’s crackdown on basic human rights, demonstrating their commitment to civil liberties and freedom of expression.  • Political Statements: Their audiovisual project “Eutopia,” released in 2020, addresses global issues such as climate change, tax havens, and universal basic income, featuring collaborations with academics and artists to advocate for systemic change.  • Anti-War Stance: Del Naja has been critical of UK government policies, particularly opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Alongside musician Damon Albarn, he funded full-page advertisements against the war, highlighting their anti-war advocacy.  • Support for Palestinian Rights: The band has boycotted performances in Israel since 1999, citing opposition to the Israeli government’s policies towards Palestinians. They’ve expressed solidarity with Palestinian refugees and supported related humanitarian efforts.  Through these actions, Massive Attack exemplifies a commitment to leveraging their platform for activism and social change.

The first woman I ever really loved, a goth/shoegazer, introduced me to triphop as a genre. She hooked me into Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, and all those excellent bands that I never would have gotten into. If you like this song you really need to check out Tricky's Christiansands, anything off the album this song came off (Mezzanine), Sneaker Pimp's Becoming X, Morcheeba's Trigger Hippy, and literally anything by Portishead (the lead singer, Beth Gibbons is the female vocalist in Kendrick Lamar's Mother I Sober). Once you start deep diving into this genre you're going to be asking yourself wtf you were doing in the 90s to have slept on it. (As I was posting this I saw your react to Glory Box. Perfect.)

This and "Black Milk" (same album) are amazing! The fan video for "Black Milk" is great. And, consider "Girl I Love You" from Heligoland, released in 2010. "Girl I Love You" is more up beat and the fan video is well done.

I'd definitely give the Newton Faulkner cover a go as well, ridiculously good acoustic version

Addendum - “I Against I” w/Mos Def . . . not Tricky.

I'd try the first track on this album, Angel, perfect opener to Mezzanine, their masterpiece. Choice cuts on every album they made, and they had the knack to work with great vocalists - Elisabeth Frasier, Tracy Thorn, Sinead O'Connor, Damon Albarn, Tunde Adebimpe etc....

I've always loved this track. If you enjoyed this and Portishead's Glory, can I recommend Gorecki by Lamb, Destiny by Zero 7 or Let Go by Frou Frou. All fantastic songs.

I watched your Portishead reaction last night, and now this one. Since you seem to enjoy Trip Hop, you should check out the album Beth Gibbons (Portishead's singer) made with Rustin Man, Out of Season (Mysteries, Tom the Model, etc). A jewel. Maybe also Morcheeba (The Sea), also a British band. I feel like they don't own their music because they are not on the band's YT page, but you can find some live versions.

I love the whole LP. They intricately used distortion differently in every song but it's there and it's the common theme I'm not saying I learned that myself... I found it by listening to the following... OMG! Top 5 Audiophile Albums with Steven Wilson - The Prog Report. 29:51 Seeds of love 37:52 Massive Attack

A Prayer for England, by Massive Attack and Sinéad O'Connor is another option which combines the power of both.
