Editorial Reviews

The group who single-handedly created the woozy, sexual, cinematic, and meditative dance genre known as trip-hop with their 1991 masterpiece Blue Lines later went on to craft gorgeous soundtrack music and generally emerge as one of the most forward-thinking, fastidious, and s-l-o-w production teams in pop music. Collected, a best-of compilation straddling the group's career, is the kind of record that reeks "contractual obligation," but that's not meant as a diss. If a kick-ass collection like this is what it takes for this heady group to keep the record execs happy while they slowly hone a new album, so be it. Much of the older tunes sound remarkably contemporary, which isn't surprising when you consider Massive Attack have always mixed styles in radical, new ways. The one new tune included to entice die-hard fans, the slowly percolating and deeply bluesy "Live With Me," is what soul music will sound like in the future. --Mike McGonigal

Great Value - Essential Massive Attack (2007-07-29)

It's hard to believe that no one has reviewed this "Best Of" collection while there are over 300 reviews of Mezzanine. At any rate, there are two version of "Collected". One is a single disc while this one (the one to get) has the same single disc plus another dual layer disc with a CD on one side and a DVD on the other. The contents of disc 2 shown here are actually the DVD contents. For this reason it sometimes duplicates disc 1. I won't list the songs on disc 2 but they are very good. While disc 1 contains most of the hits, disc 2 is a bit more instrumental. It has Massive Attacks version of Madonna's "I want you to want me" with Madonna herself doing the vocals. Whether you usually like Madonna or not, this is a beautiful song with very rich orchestration.The DVD is fairly good if you like videos. There are two or three standouts but for the most part just consider the videos a bonus. Nothing indispensible here.I am fairly new to Massive Attack. Errol Nazareth, on CBC Radio, reviewed and recommended this collection CD. What a find! These guys were apparently the inventors of Trip Hop. For the record, I don't like hip hop, but the few rapping lyrics you find here don't bother me. Either this CD or Mezzanine are a good intro to Massive Attack. I'd probably go with this CD.
