kokoon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 yes i like it too. that porn video track is my favorite so far. a dub mix with a more prominent bassline would be a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 100th Window is still my favorite release, the production is just too smooth for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 lol 100th window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah the last album really depressed me, apart from the single Special Cases the album felt like someone just sighing in my face for an hour. I mean the production was quite good but Del Naja's vocals just sound like a teenager's moaning ramblings and has a vocal range of about 4 notes.

Guest GrandPopPoplock Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Eh, I'm not really digging what I've heard . Although, I do like 'Splitting The Atom' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otY1sfvELXQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Well damn, I actually enjoyed it. Few dull tracks, but a lot better in general than I expected. Swear I heard a 303 or similar synth on there a couple times too. This is good, I didn't want to see them completely burn out in 2010. And this was the last album that Jerry Fuchsdrummer recorded on.

Squee Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 It's a shame that Babel isn't better than it is because the intro is awesome but then it falls kinda flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 To be honest, if it hadn't said 'Massive Attack' on the cover I wouldn't have guessed that it would be a Massive Attack album - ok, maybe Andy Horace and Robert del Naja's voices would have given it away but still. There are three tracks, so far, that I really like; "Paradise Cirus", "Saturday Comes Slow", and "Pray for Rain" but the rest of the tracks might grow on me.

sysyphus Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 it's a good album, but definitely does not compare to works of the past. i really appreciate the fact that they've gotten such a wide ensemble of guest singers to play for heligoland. unfortunately, after hearing this album, i am forced to concur that robert del naja's darkish singing has been what i've always wanted in a massive attack release. that's why for me, atlas air is clearly the winner on this album.

GORDO Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I don't thing there is something as a massive attack sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well the things finally arrived in the post and it's much better than I espected. Still deeply in love with Paradise Circus, and I quite enjoyed the cheeky silliness of Splitting The Atom and the grand sound of Flat of the Blade. The only tracks that let it down for me were the two where moany moan man is the only vocalist of the track (Rush Minute and Atlas Air), I really can't stand his vocal style ... But yeah, a nice surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IRARI Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i liked this record less than 100th window... didn't really like the guest vocalists (i don't consider horace andy a guest at this point)... needs more 3d/daddy g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I wish they had added the "Live With Me - Stripped Version" on Heligo Land. It's such a beautiful tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jacck Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Record as grown on me a hellavalot. Atlas Air is a really decent tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i saw them live yesterday it was good although they focused on the mezzanine sound which can be a bit monotone. horace andy seemed to not care at all but still did a good job, the other singers were exceptional specially whatshername on unfinished sympathy. they didn't play paradise circus which was a surprise and also a disappointment, but it was all good. they played most of my favorites. they included live (mariachi style) trumpet solos in karmacoma and in splitting the atom which was very cool, made splitting the atom sound like the saddest song ever. top stuff. +1.

Guest assegai Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 ATTENZIONE! Are they any good live? I'm about to pull the trigger on some tickets I feel like they have the potential to put on a great show, although I could easily see being bored to tears.
