By far my most favorite Massive Attack album. I've owned this album for some years and guarantee I will own it for many more. Teardrops is top of list on my All Time Tracks.
The guest singers Massive Attack have on their albums is always of top quality. Mezzanine delivers in all aspects and is what electronic music is all about. Robert Del Naja is the key on this album, a brilliant song writer and vocalist. Inertia Creeps is such a deep song with a fantastic bass line and can really get you in the mood (if you know what I mean).
Massive Attack are continually producing quality albums but they are few and far between. It's what makes them more special. I managed to see Massive Attack at Creamfields a few years ago and they performed Teardrops AND Intertia Creeps Live, amazing.
Mezzanine definately has a more modern electronic feel compared to previous releases Blue Lines and Protection. Whilst not losing their original edge and political statements they've incorporated some great tunes onto this album and is well worth a listen.
