ANGEL

mezzanine

If somebody asked me what is my favorite Massive Attack album, I would say without any hesitation "Mezzanine". "Blue Lines" and "Protection" have always stolen "Mezzanine"'s thunder but this album is truly a remarkable piece of work. It's dark and creepy in a perfectly subtle way.

I felt a huge urge this last couple of weeks to listen to this album again. Maybe it's because I am (finally) listening to the new Portishead album (expect a relevant post really soon) and I started to reminisce about the days I was listening frantically to these bands.

I love all four singles that came out of this album: "Risingson", "Teardrop", "Angel" and "Inertia Creeps". But, "Angel" ..... is my favorite one.
