This album definitely took me by surprise. It's much more diverse and dynamic than past albums and a whole lot easier to listen to. I love Massive Attack, and can listen to their albums all the time (save for Protection, which I don't like), but even a fan like me can grow tried of the lethargic and groaning atmosphere they create with every album. This is a lot fresher, and seems to have a new perspective. I definitely enjoy this album a lot and feel like it fits in perfectly with the rest of Massive Attack's catalog, despite being different.

Great album not quite as amazing as Mezzanine, but still better than 99 percent of everything out there this and Portishead's "third " plus of course Radiohead's "In rainbows" restores my faith that creativity in music is still alive.

Really good to hear from Massive Attack again. Musically, it's like we've awoke to a world inside one of their recordings, dark electronic funk with a purpose. I highly recommend experiencing these recordings through their website, the short films they commissioned as videos are amazing!

This is truly a great album. We needed some music with some life to it. And here it is. :)

Massive Attack is FINALLY back, and doing what they do best: injecting the electronic music scene with a little bit of humanity. The record industry's last stand against the apathy of this i-tuned, guitar-heroed, file-sharing generation wouldn't be complete without the waking of this sleeping giant. Go Buy This Album. These guys, along with the members of Portishead, are the musical equivalent to the likes of Pynchon or McCarthy: they'll put out a sweet collection of electronic musings, and then disappear for another couple years. Don't be left out!

A great album by these established trip-hoppers. With everyone moving away from certain genres to grab a hold of new wave synths and bad vocals, they stick with what they know and do it well. I think this album deserves more attention than what this review gives it. Buy this album, sit back and enjoy.
