I’ve been a fan of Massive Attack’s since I first heard their song Teardrop. An evil creeping song, it became my anthem for some time – a perfect backdrop for my teenage angst.
In 2003 Massive Attack released their LP 100th Window. I got a copy and began listening – hoping and waiting to see what the follow-up to Teardrop would sound like. Ultimately I was let down. The track that came closest to reproducing the feeling I got from Teardrop was Prayer For England, and even then I was left wanting.
This was seven years ago. Massive Attack have just released their latest LP, Heligoland. I have had the pleasure of listening to this album a few times and I can safely say that this is a true return to form.
