Ive listened to 100th Window quite a few times now, and I am not in agreement with the negative reviews. Sure, it is not as good as Blue Lines or Mezzanine, but Id certainly rank it higher than the rather overrated Protection. Some of the tracks on 100th Window, especially Special Cases and Butterfly Caught, are among the best Massive Attack songs ever. However, having Sinead OConnor do lead vocals on so many tracks was a mistake. For the most part, I find her lyrics preachy, and her singing tiresome. Whats with all this Jah forgive us crap? As far as I am concerned, the only whiteboy who ever wrote lyrics about Jah that made any sense was Tesco Vee of The Meatmen.
New Massive Attack LP: 100 th Window
Had to purchase this the day it came out...first impression is this is more "poppY" and less dark than "Mezzanine"...any thoughts...Im sure over time I will have formed a better opinion...and since I like the bulk of their material...will have this in my player for some time...
