no topic about this brilliant album yet???
im listening to it now after quite a while and it still sounds EXCELLENT.
i wonder if this album will ever sound outdated...i remember when i heard "risingson" for the first time i was totally amazed - just the best thing i ever heard.

(love)love is a verb love is a doing word feathers on my breath gentle impulsion shakes me makes me lighter feathers on my breath
teardrop on the fire feathers on my breath
in the night of matter black flowers blossom feathers on my breath black flowers blossom feathers on my breath
teardrop on the fire feathers on my breath
water is my eye most faithful my love feathers on my breath teardrop on the fire of a confession feathers on my breath most faithful my love feathers on my breath
teardrop on the fire feathers on my breath

some people think that liking Teardrop, and thinking it's beautiful is uncool, you know, obvious. but sometimes the cunts need to shut up and listen. it's an amazing song and to mention that album without mentioning that song is just stupid.

This album is the best to make out to. It's even better for what making out leads to.
Especially Risingson and Inertia Creeps.

after i got mezzanine i was getting more and more into electronica as well...i was mostly listening to trip hop before that, and rock before that...after mezzanine i got interested into idm properly.
even tho when im listening to it these days it doesn't sound that electronic at all, infact it's quite rockish!

its their masterpiece, when i heard their earlier albums were excelent too i bought them but was a bit dissapointed. Mezzanine has a certain feel and texture to the sound that i absolutely love, its missing on there other albums. Teardrop is one of the best songs ever made.

blue lines and protection were both brilliant at the time they were released...there are mayn great songs on those two albums, but both albums seem a bit outdated now...which isn't the case with mezzanine - i don't know how will i feel about this in 10 years tho...

It's really weird to read interviews with them from that time. They basically just hated each other. Were hardly ever in the studio at the same time etc. It's amazing how such a beautiful and coherent album came from all that. Altough from those interviews I get the impression that in many ways it's more 3D's solo-album than an actual group-effort. Infact, the other 2 members don't even really like it.
I love it though. Truly a classic album.

They got the atmosphere down really well and maintain it throughout the whole album. Its a fucking awesome piece of wax/plastic. It is extremely well polished, and you can tell they were on a roll.

I happen to have bought it earlier this week. It's great, but would have been even greater with 100th window's What Your Soul Sings and Special Cases on it. Teardrop is me and my girlfriend's favourite love song :)
