New Massive Attack CD - Any Good???

[CarZee]

I've got all their previous stuff.. dunno if I'm going to buy the new one though..

Anyone got it yet?

www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007KK7V/ref=sr_aps_music_1_1/202-4449316-1105405

Amazon seem to have it at a good price.. might umm.. oh hang on - Kazaa still works

[egomeister]

Thats not a good price!

They were doing iPaq's for less than that a while back

[CarZee]

's okay - I've found the whole thing on Kazaa... just have to bump it up the queue and wait a few days for it to turn up

Oh and if it's really any good, I'l stump up for a copy of the CD, but I have a feeling they'll have lost the plot.

Just to add, I have kazaa'd it but not listened to it too much yet. I thought it was ok on the first few listens though but it didn't scream buy me straight away - but then Massive Attacks stuff isn't really like that. I'll listento it some more now!

Never been the same since Blue Lines.

Had the new one in the car for the last couple of weeks. OK, but not spectacular . Pleased I bought it, but definitely not their best work.

Short answer is nope.....I had it on in the car & it didn't inspire me in any way. Is litttle more than background music.

Blue lines
Track 6
Unfinished sympathy

It dont get much better than this!

Incidently, has anyone got any alternate mixes of the track they have "aquired" on MP3?

[the jiffle king]

Is it good - Quite simply yes

It is not Blue lines or Mezz, but who wants the same again and again.

It's good, but open your minds to a newer darker sound

T-J-K

[smifffy]

Just download it old chap. If you can't at your place I'll happily supply the goods.

CD or MP3 sir?

So this is why you go to work early T-J-K ?

[Stroudy]

Didn't like it at first.. but it does get better..
The single feat Sinead O'Conner is pretty good, but prefer 'Protection' from the 90's for guesting female vocals..

I'm sure when Mezz.. came out everyone thought it was too different from Blue Lines..

On the web you may not get the final hidden track...

Also keep an eye out for live in Heaven, Stockholm & live at the Albert Hall from mid 90's not sure if they're still kicking about on the web.. but worth a listen if you can find them...

It's like McCartney calling himself the Beatles. The brains of the outfit clearly left with 'mushroom' or whatever it was he called himself. Oh, and Tricky.
Having said that, all the other stuff was so good that I'll be giving it another few spins before I start on that novelty shower curtain.

Dont bother trying to copy an original either. Has some kind of copyright protection on the disc!

Brought it a couple of weeks back, it does grow on you. But its not there best stuff.

Er, not quite true, I have two copies sitting on my desk courtesy of Nero. Appears to be fine - just 'backup' copies from my missus's collection...

So the boy stays at my house and moans when i find 5 mins to PH!!

Bout time you found a proper job where you have to do a bit

[rich-uk]

Not as good as the others, but still worth a listen or two.

I'll let you know how it sounds live when I go and see them at Brixton in a couple of weeks
