OK, this album is out today so I wandered off to Asda this morning and bought it. Verdict after one listen: disappointing. This is definitely the worst Massive Attack album so far. It can be divided into three: 3 really good tracks: Future Proof, Small Time Shot Away, Antistar. These tracks are as good as anything on Mezzanine. 3 indifferent tracks: Everywhen, Butterfly Caught and Name Taken are instantly forgettable B-side material. 3 Sinead O'Connor tracks: never much hope for these seeing as I never really liked O'Connor, but I don't think anyone could have rescued such banal tracks as What Your Soul Sings, Special Cases and A Prayer For England. The album is an evolution of Mezzanine as opposed to a throwback to Blue Lines and Protection and production is as assured and slick as you would expect from Robert Del Naja, no problems there. It's just that 6 of these 9 tracks are just bottom line uninteresting and that's something I would never thought I would say about Massive Attack. One other thing, Horace Andy doesn't fit well into this album at all. Daddy G would have been much better... |

I also think it's a bit strange. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it more than mezzanine those 2 can't be compared to blue lines and protection imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think its an great album, my favourite at the moment i love everywhen its a shame daddy g didnt do any vocals on this one (actually he didnt have anything to do with this one hehe) but on my first listen i thought it was abit lame as well but then it grew on me really fast |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then I will give it some more oportunities |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah they seem somewhat back in form on this one... # 1 is pretty good, my fav so far |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you dont like it so far? the whole album is a lot like my favourite tunes from the mezzanine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's an odd statement. I think this album is cold, repetative and lacking of power. Mezzanine was by far an incredible album when compared to the new one. ... I really miss the element of Daddy G as well. |
||||||||

"I think this album is cold, repetative and lacking of power." this from someone who loves glitch music so much he named himself gl1tch?! but, i shall say no more, as i've waited till the album was out before hearing anything. should arrive in the mail sometime this week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think glitch is cold, repetitive and lacking of power mayve cold... but in a good way, and only in certain cases but yeah im looking forward to this album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why give a verdict after one listen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just because it's glitch, doesn't mean it's cold or repetive titsworth. I just think this album is not the kind of "vibe" that I've come to expect from massive attack. I'm not saying they shouldn't explore their boundries. But it's just not rweally their kind of sound on this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's cool. from what i read i have to agree that it's certainly a departure from the massive attack i know. daddy g is supposed to record w/ 3d for the next album, due in less than a year, so you might like that one better. he's also supposed to tour behind the current album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Normally I wouldn't, but 100th Window is jarringly off form for Massive Attack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, i've given this another listen and it still hasn't improved for me. It's not sticking in my head at all, even though there's a few tracks I like I can't remember what any of them sound like. Instantly forgettable :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry i know ive posted this in every 100th window thread but the akufen remix of special cases i reckon you'll all love it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I can bearly find the typical MA feeling I had with the previous 3 albums. I doens't suck me into it, like Angel did opening Mezzanine, It sounds shallow, cold, cynical. Having a look at http://www.100thwindow.com/ doesn't cheer you up either. My conclusion: MA have went just one step to far in their own world where we get the soundtrack from. It has made them cynical... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved "exchange" off mezzanine, so what other MA stuff might i like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everything off Mezzanine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah um thanks :/ anyone else? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seriously, the whole album is top notch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i know mate i've got it! i ESPECIALLY like exchange though, so i was wondering what other stuff.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well why didn't you say so? ;) 100th Window is closer to Mezzanine than Protection or Blue Lines. Personally, I would recommend Protection first though. |

I downloaded it a few weeks ago,and I agree,I don`t think it is as good as mezzanine (no where near),it doesn`t contain any stand out tracks (I do like future proof),it just hasn`t grabed me yet.Admitidly,i havn`t listened to all the tracks all the way through yet,and it may grow on me,but it seems to be their weakest album........unfortunately:( "Beat" Takeshi (danbrusca),does the cd contain the bonus track "I against I" feat. mos def (which I downloaded,and is a great track......hopefully on the album)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i against i will be on the special cases single out in about 10 days with the akufen remix i don't seem to be able to shut up about :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
new mos def collabo on the next MA album.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got it for my birthday yesterday. it's okay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
happy birthday patrik i read the most stupid review of the album today (in one of our newspapers) he wrote that with its claustrofobical mood this album can irrotate even the most tolerant listeners. ?????? its funny because i thought mezzanine is far more heavy to listen to (not all tracks tho) anyway, i love 100th window, it is my favourite MA album as a whole... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought it today, it rocks! It's awsome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening to antistar at the moment...this song is really awesome!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the whole album is awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most definitely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like a few of the tracks, but as a whole this album dosn't really do much for me. Mezzanine forever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeh, it´s pretty lame this new one, innit? What the fuck happened to the melodies from the first two albums that changed my view on what good music could be. And I need Daddy G. The coolest voice. Ever. And the Akufen remix of Special Cases ain´t even good. Maybe it´s because it´s just a really lame track. The lyrics and the melody don´t go well together and even if they did the melody would still suck. As would the lyrics.. |
