Our Take

Album Review: MASSIVE ATTACK - Protection

Massive Attack's sophomore effort, "Protection," is a sonic journey that feels like floating through a smoky lounge on a cloud of trip-hop dreams. If you're not familiar with trip-hop, think of it as the soundtrack to sneaking into a cool club with a fake ID and feeling like the coolest cat in the room.

The album opens with the title track, "Protection," a sultry, bass-heavy anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The combination of sultry vocals and the eerily beautiful production creates a mood that's both seductive and slightly unsettling, like waking up from a dream and realizing you're not quite sure where you are.

Tracks like "Karmacoma" and "Sly" showcase Massive Attack's ability to blend elements of hip-hop, dub, and electronica into a seamless, hypnotic soundscape that'll have you nodding your head in time with the beat. It's the kind of music that's perfect for late-night drives through empty city streets or staring out the window on a rainy day, contemplating life's mysteries.

Overall, "Protection" is a timeless classic that proves Massive Attack were ahead of their time when it came to creating moody, atmospheric music that defies genre boundaries. So grab a glass of whiskey, put on your headphones, and get ready to lose yourself in the ethereal world of Massive Attack. Cheers, darlings.

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.
