I am aware that I often stand alone in my opinion, (especially when it comes to the view of late arrivals to the Massive Attack sound) But, Ill shout it from the roof tops ..........Blue Lines is the best Massive Attack album made.
It was THE essential album of 91, we found ourselves at war in the gulf, the world had gone crazy and in this little corner of South West England where folk spoke funny, a sound was created, beautiful laidback melodies, fresh basslines, lyrics, that touched a place forgotten, spine chilling classic tunes ....the sound of Massive Attack (Or simply to be known as Massive under BBC/Government instruction for the duration of the War)
My favoured tracks showcased the talents of Shara Nelson & Nicolette (whatever happened to her??) Safe from Harm, Unfinished Sympathy, and Sly. The first two tracks 14 years later still remain in my top 20 all time classics. This should not take anything way from the rest of the album because it contains no fillers, each track is worthy of a mention and the album itself makes it into The Album Top 10 :)
I rest my case!!
