One can always tell when they hear something extraordinary. "Without music, life would be a mistake." It could not be said better. Absolutely. It's a remarkable thing for one's mind to come in contact with something like Massive Attack's Mezzanine. It confirms a sort of existential purpose. Its brooding chords and complex harmonies manifest a certain unexplainable illumination. This is one of those rare albums one can live by. For example: It is a requirement for my potential significant other to be more than interested in this album... it's sick, I know, but this album is that amazing. Massive Attack's listeners will undoubtedly appreciate this album for various and different reasons.
I think "Angel", "Risingson", and "Teardrop", are completely wonderful in their own right but highly over-hyped. I certainly prefer the underrated(?) tracks "Inertia Creeps", "Exchange", "Dissolved Girl" and "Black Milk". The rest of the tracks are also great despite the lack of acknowledgement (side note, though: Group Four is epically astounding). "Inertia Creeps" is actually a well known favourite. Quite. 3D's sensually dark vocals entwined with an overtly Middle Eastern-influenced drum rhythm make such a strikingly unique composition; Its power is unavoidable. "Exchange" I like because it agrees with my affinity to chill-out music; it's Massive Attack meets the instrumentals of Air or Zero 7. "Dissolved Girl", as the name implies, complements the album's overall feel: a gloomy, lamentable daydream. But, in the end, it is "Black Milk" that I hold in the highest regards: the uppermost echelon of pure exaltation. I consider it, without hesitation, to be one of the most impressive modern musical pieces ever produced. It is superior. Rather. Its subtlety is extraordinary and the vocals transcend emotion and instead translate to sensuous rapture (especially with an applicable sound system).
If anyone has a comparable inclination to my appreciation for the music itself (aka a low regard for lyrics and instead a love of the art of sounds) not only will this album surpass one's expectations, it will vanquish pre-existing conceptions of what music should be. Mezzanine = musical-talent incarnate.

With a solid set of cold embraces, this massively influential trip-hop unit's most mature construct to date can fizzle off slightly in overly pseudo-cool but remains a must own for anyone interested in electronic music.

I love this genre of music.Ive only listened to a few songs so far which I love (Angel and Teardrop) but the rest of the cd is probably really good.

Last review was in 2000. That was nine years ago. Still listen to this album with veneration, never get tired of it. The next album released by these guys, after Mezzanine, is completely different and for some reason or other I can't digest it, it's rather boring.
I wonder if that's why they sort of quitted.

Personally my favorite Massive Attack album. Interesting lyrics layered over mesmerizing bass and moody beats.
