    nearly as good as Mezzanine, maybe even better. the various vocalists give it such an eclectic fluid feel that is held together by the pulsing grooves of MA. Incredible.

    "Girl I Love You" is amazing! [6] Don't know why people don't like it, still great music for me.

    Still madly in love with Heligoland... still in the honeymoon period. I have seen a few negative review about it, and I really don't understand why, this music grooves my soul! Favourites would have to be Flat of the Blade, Girl I Love You, Pray For Rain and Paradise Circus. The ones that went unmentioned... all fantastic too ^^

    v I totally agree. It is a quality album but hopefully we see a return to their iconic sound with classic hip hop beats and daddy g vocals. I can't believe pitchfork gave this a 5/10. Fuckers.

    It needs more beats [2]. Evolution is great and keeps a band original, but total desertion of the heart of the band's appeal (for MA, I really feel it was the smooth looping beats) destroys the band, or at least who they were for most of their fans. Heligoland is a fantastic album, but it's one I had to grow used to out of chosen loyalty to the group. Spiritually, I don't think it's very much who Massive Attack are (or were) to me.

    Everything after Paradise Circus is terrible. Babel should have been listed as track #8...
