This album is very interesting. It sounds very unique and is quite a departure for 'Da Massive.

I think this album has nothing interesting in it and everything is boring. Not a good song. Pure crap. IMHO.

Lol, I mean its more cinematic. More intense. I will admit that it doesn't warrant putting it on loop, but I listen to it a few times a month for my fix. I get a nice and strange burst of refreshment when I hear it. It's like doublemint gum

I bought 100th window a few days ago....I like it.
Listening to "What your soul sings" in the shower, with candles and clove cigarettes is the highlight of last week.
Antistar is also good.
Also, I thinks its damned cool that Sinead O'Connor is singing for them.

with all of the board - no. : )
but i'm with you tolstoyed, i love it. one of my most-listened and favourite albums, like all of Massive Attack's - i think it's like a "sister" album to Mezzanine... 100th Window gives me the picture of a white butterfly (and Mezzanine a black one), or for times of the day, 100th Window would be dawn and Mezzanine dusk... different yet similar...
i try to boycott all copy-protected albums now, but if i ever give up or break this boycott by buying one copy-protected album by mistake, i'll surely buy 100th Window right after. i've been listening to it regulary for months (i think at least once in a week) and still haven't grown bored of it.
also all four Massive albums have great openers, but 100th Window also has a great closing track... (the closing tracks of the previous albums weren't bad at all, but they weren't as good as the openers)

Damn it sucks !!!!! How can you like it ! I understand that you like the mood of this album but if it's the case, "Ultra" of Depeche Mode has the same mood and is 1000x better.

The long loop after Antistar is pointless pointless pointless.
In fact i love both Blue Lines and Protection, Mezzanine appealed me a moment ago... but since the day i bought 100th window (the day of it's release), i am so desappointed by Massive Attack.
The only track that i enjoy a little is the first one ; but "What your soul sing" and the two with Horace Andy are SOOO BORING !!!!!!

blue lines is great, protection is fantastic, vs. mad professor is GREAT, mezzanine is the best, 100th window is just sucky. i was counting the days until it came out but and was so, so disappointed.
it's the bristol thing -- tricky became shit, goldie became shit, ma became shit, portishead is (supposedly) recording and i bet you it'll be shit.

I've heard some of Portisheads unreleased stuff, and its suprisingly impressive. I've put my faith back in Portishead since "All my sins" became my drawing song.

...........................speaking of massive attack vs mad professor, anyone heard this? i think people here wld really like it, because it employs a lot of classic idm manuevers, but still retains a heavy dub and triphop feel. the title track 'no protection (Radiation ruling the nation)' is my favorite. a real gem. i can't decide if i like it or the original better.

Horace Andy's voice is so.....tittliating.
I cant listen to any of his tracks in my sleep, or I'll cheese my thong.
Was it him that sung on "Angel"?

i didn't know there was a long loop after Antistar, as i said i haven't bought the album yet because it was copy-protected (i wanted to buy it though -_-)... i have it on mp3 and Antistar ending the album abruptly at 8:17, i presume the loop is a hidden track?
PhystPhukt > yes i like Goldfrapp, don't have any album yet but they're on my "potential purchase list"... =)
