Mezzanine, I think. If I saw it for less than $5, I'd get that one, but the rest of their stuff i'll pass on.

Blue Lines is the most flawless.. Protection and Mezzanine have too many weak overproduced tracks

I think Blue Lines sounds abit dated in parts, but I'd say all their albums are 'must haves'. Personally, Mezzanine is my favourite, closely followed by Protection.
But you can't miss with MA whatever you get. Its like sticking your dick in a cup.

mezzanine is so different from the others imo you should buy that one, and one of the older ones, i'd say 'protection' (although 'blue lines' has "unfinished sympathy" and "safe from harm" <-- brilliant)
no protection is quite shite imo, i have it (only 'cause i'm such a damn collect-it-all-for-the-sake-of-it idiot) but the original tracks of protection are way better
let us know what you got

I've read it and I think its a fair assesment. Whomever decided to invite Sinead O' Connor to the studio needs their head examined. the lyrics on A Prayer for Englund are laughable. A song devoted to the guy who played Freddy Krueger??? Come on!

I bought Blue Lines, then Mezzanine and i think the latter is by far the best. i wish they would get Lisa Gerrard to guest sing on one of their songs though, that would be amazing.
I just looked at some of the pitchfork reviews, i cant believe how pedantic most of them are, and boy do they hate nin. I get the impression the reviewers seem to hate albums before even listening to them, are there any decent reviews on the site?

*nods in agreement*
Massive Attack - Mezzanine would be my choice!
you should do a search for the thread about pitchfork.....and how biased they are towards some artists. i'll see if i can find it!

Mezzanine.
100th window is their weakest album. Sinead O'Conner is too dominant. There are some nice beats, and sections, but songs as a whole pale in comparison with Mezzanine.

Blue Lines is good, no doubt about it, but it has to be Mezzanine if u can only get one.
