Massive Attack - Heligoland

[gbsuey]

So..New Massive Attack album...anyone heard it?Had fairly low expectations about it but am actually really liking most of it. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2InDdOsvtA) stands out for me(y)

I got a copy of it last week but haven't had chance to give it anything more than a quick playthrough while I was working on a deadline - so I really haven't given it a proper listen yet.

It seemed ok but nothing groundbreaking, but I'll give it my full attention later this week and see if it grows on me.

It's no Mezzanine, it's just an album of guest slots...

'The record features always-chosen Horace Andy plus the following invited vocalists: Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio, Damon Albarn of Gorillaz, Hope Sandoval of Hope Sandoval And The Warm Inventions and Mazzy Star, Guy Garvey of Elbow and Martina Topley-Bird,[12] as well as guitar playing by Adrian Utley of Portishead (on "Saturday Come Slow"), keys from Portishead collaborator John Baggott (most notably on "Atlas Air"), keys and synth bass from Damon Albarn ("Splitting the Atom" and "Flat of the Blade" respectively), bass by Neil Davidge ("Girl I Love You") and bass by Billy Fuller of Beak> on various tracks.'

Still worth a listen though.

finally got round to listening to it and its..ok.

its a massive attack album so you know you are going to get a certain standard but i donthink they have made a massive attack album since mezzanine, the stuff in between was weak so this is a slight return to form but i didnt get too excited about it
