Last track kills this album . Nothing against it , but it just doesn't fit this otherwise perfect album .
-
I am looking for the OG printed inner sleeve for this edition. If anyone has a spare one feel free to me. Thanks. -
-
It's a thin record compared to the first pressings of Massive Attack albums that came before and after it and it's quite quiet, but brought up it sounds pretty good. The bass is outta control, but seems appropriate for the album.
-
I just bought this version today and it is very good, no surface noise or scratches, recommended. -
Hi,
I just found a vinyl copy of this one at a local record store.
Looking at the track listing on the back of the sleeve, 'Better Things' is spelt 'Beter Things'.
My CD at home has the correct spelling.
Anybody knows what this is about ? -
This is a great album from a band that works hard for their music. I love this album, creatively it's on point, although it resembles the decade in which it was produced, there is a timeless quality to the sentimentality throughout the album. This album helped give electronic music the license to become more thoughtful and real world than most other electronic music of the day which was being labelled "techno". This is a good sounding release, quiet and sounds full and tight and smooth. The bass and sub bass on some tracks are completely out of control though, so be sure to have your limiter on if you roll deep. -
Following on from their ground breaking début Massive Attack deliver another classic album. The soulful voice of Shara Nelson has been replaced with the melancholic voice of Tracey Thorn, reggae legend Horace Andy features again, Craig Armstrong adds a classical touch on keyboard on a couple of tunes, and this is Tricky's final venture with the group. On its release this didn't have the same impact as Blue Lines, but it has definitely stood the test of time and is just as strong if not stronger than the original.
