Our Take

10/10: Protection, Massive Attack's sophomore album, is a sonic journey through the depths of trip-hop excellence. From the haunting vocals of Shara Nelson on the title track to the infectious beats of "Karmacoma", this album is a masterpiece of genre-bending goodness.

The production on Protection is top-notch, with Massive Attack seamlessly blending elements of hip-hop, reggae, and electronica into a cohesive and mesmerizing sound. The album's atmospheric vibe sucks you in from the first track and doesn't let go until the final note fades away.

Tracks like "Weather Storm" and "Sly" showcase Massive Attack's ability to create lush, cinematic soundscapes that transport you to another world. The guest appearances from artists like Tricky and Horace Andy only add to the album's allure, bringing a unique and diverse range of voices to the mix.

And let's not forget about the lyrics - Protection's introspective and thought-provoking themes of love, loss, and human connection elevate the album to a whole new level of depth and intrigue. This is not just music; this is art.

In conclusion, Protection is a timeless classic that still holds up decades after its release. Massive Attack has firmly established themselves as pioneers of the trip-hop genre, and this album is a shining example of their innovative and boundary-pushing sound. Don't sleep on this one, folks. It's a must-listen for any music lover.

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.
