I was 15 when i heard about Massive Attack for the first time, ever since then i've been hooked on the electo mellow sounds of their music. Largley accredited for starting the Trip/hop movement, influencing bands like Portishead, they grabed my attention purely because of the style of music. Not content with the commercialism of pop music which so dominates modern day music, the striking beats and angelic vocals of various colaborations, spiked a different genre of music. The singles makes up most of Massive Attacks earlier hits into one outstanding compilation. Every song is different to the next, but what is clear is their evolution of style through the years. The one thing about this band is their evolution, which is evident with their earlier work. A key transformation in their style of music might have been the departure of one of the founding members leaving to persue a solo career. Since the departure of Tricky, there music seems to have taken a more dark and deep sound, but none the less Massive Attacks singles are a true stepping stone in music, and with classics like Unfinished Sympathy there is no faulting this band and their music!

Sorry about the relatively low rating.... I think you should look at some other reviews of a similar nature to get a feel for what is expected. If you edit then let me know in my guestbook and I will re-rate. Welcome to the Ciao. D1ce
