Our Take

Massive Attack's Blue Lines is a heady blend of trip-hop beats and soulful vocals that's as smooth as a cup of Earl Grey tea. This album is so British, it practically has tea and crumpets served on a silver platter.

From the iconic opening track "Safe from Harm" to the haunting "Unfinished Sympathy," Massive Attack creates a sonic landscape that is equal parts gritty and ethereal. It's like taking a leisurely stroll through the streets of Bristol on a foggy morning, with a pint of bitter in hand.

The production on Blue Lines is top-notch, with layers upon layers of lush instrumentation that draw you in and make you feel like you're floating on a cloud of pure sonic bliss. It's like being enveloped in a warm hug from your favourite British auntie.

And let's not forget the guest vocalists on this album – from Shara Nelson to Horace Andy, each one brings their own unique flavour to the mix, adding depth and richness to an already incredible sonic tapestry.

In conclusion, Blue Lines is a masterpiece of modern music that will transport you to a rainy street in London with just one listen. So grab your umbrella, put on your best tweed jacket, and let Massive Attack take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Cheers!

About the artist

Massive Attack

Bristol's trip-hop pioneers, Massive Attack, have been changing the sonic landscape for over three decades now. Formed in 1988 by childhood friends Robert "3D" Del Naja and Grant "Daddy G" Marshall, the band quickly gained acclaim for their unique blend of electronic beats, haunting vocals, and socially conscious lyrics. With critically acclaimed albums like "Blue Lines" and "Mezzanine," Massive Attack have solidified themselves as one of the most influential acts in the electronic music scene. Known for their atmospheric soundscapes and genre-defying collaborations, the band has worked with the likes of Tricky, Liz Fraser, and even Damon Albarn. But what truly sets Massive Attack apart is their live performances. With a visual aesthetic that rivals even the most avant-garde art installations, their shows are more than just concerts – they're immersive experiences that push the boundaries of what a live music event can be. And let's not forget their political activism. Whether it's supporting environmental causes or speaking out against social injustices, Massive Attack are never afraid to use their platform for good. They're not just making music – they're making a difference. So if you're looking for music that's equal parts thought-provoking and toe-tapping, look no further than Massive Attack. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your dance moves tested. These Bristol boys are not messing around.
