One of my all-time favorites

I am 18 and I just discovered Massive Attack last year. I really liked Portishead and Tricky and thought Trip-Hop was a very interesting musical genre. But it was not until I heard Blue Lines I understood what Trip-hop was all about. It's amazing this is from 1991 because it sounds more modern...

Amazon is f**** kidding me!

I have written a review complaining about the Free Shipping in the US (broken cd cases, torn covers), but actually there seems to be a problem with PAID INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING too. I bought Madonna's Give it 2 me single, Massive Attack - Blue Lines and Depeche Mode's Speak and Spell and all of...

Highly recommended

If you are looking for a great cd to listen to than look no further than Massive Attack's "Blue Lines". My personal favorites on the album have to be Daydreaming and One Love. This CD is a must have for any true fan.

Whoa!

Trip-Hop is basically hip-hop with a bit more substance than your average gangster record (those actually do have substance as well), and way more musical merit than any _________ rap artist out there today. Being released in 1991 makes it even cooler, but aside from the ahead of it's time...

trip the hop fantastic

massive attack's 'blue lines' is a classic example of melding deep bass lines, great percussion tracks, fabulous vocals by tricky and shara nelson and inventive samples into the music phenom known as trip hop. many have tried and failed at creating music this good. this is the kind of sound that...

A Classic

There is nothing much left to say about Massive Attack's masterpiece of "trip-hop" that is Blue Lines.Tricky's raps are classy and smart and the warm synth work is both inspiring and brilliant. The deep dub-like bass grooves on this album are legendary. "Unfinished Symphony" is a soulful pop...

one of the most underrated debuts ever

if there is ever an overlooked album this is definitely one of them. from the moment "Safe from Harm" starts we are encapsulated by this unique Bristol sound. what makes this Bristol sound so unique is the using of vintage sounds and putting them into such new settings. this album is...

Consider the context...

An Italian, and a couple of Afro-Caribeans, living in Bristol, where a whole new scene is emerging, with the likes of Tricky, Portishead and Roni Size producing new beats. You produce your first album and name your band Massive Attack, only for George Bush senior to invade Kuwait. Hence the band...

I probably should have bought this before Mezzanine...

...I might like it a little better.There is a good chance you will recognize some of the songs on this disc and not realize it was Massive Attack. I have heard some of the songs on movie soundtracks to commercials. Blue Lines is what I would call "Trip Hop". Trip Hop was more of a result of the...

Ahead of its time

Hard to believe Blue Lines is an album from 1991. Taking elements from hip-hop beats, adding dub and ambient effects, plus a few rap rhymes and vocalists created the genre known as "trip-hop". What impresses most is the vision and creativity from Massive Attack to produce an album with such...
