Mezzanine is one my favorite albums of all time. I remember being a teenager and watching "teardrop" for the first time on MTV and getting completely blown away by its beauty!
An unforgettable classic that will stand time like few others. I listen to this album after 20 years and it still gives me chills like the first time I heard it. A masterwork.
The Cure - Disintegration, Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, R.E.M. - Automatic For The People, Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible, Suede - Dog Man Star, Blur - 13, Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure, Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith And Devotion and Joy Division - Closer will all be great to see
I was always partial to Portishead, where trip hop is concerned, but it’s an undeniable fact that this album is a fucking masterpiece, and holds up beautifully to this day. ✌🏼
Thanks for posting this dark masterpiece. Love the Bristol sound other darker trip hop artists like Tricky, Portishead, Unkle, DJ Krush, Forest Swords, Allflaws
i've always loved the production but now i turn on the rolling lyrics feature with spotify and have a newfound appreciation for the lyrics. reminds me of early surrealist automatism
Idk why I could never get into this album, everything about it makes it seem like it’d be right up my alley but the only song I like off it is exchange
Great! Love this album and this episode was so nice. I'd like to see episodes on Jesus And Mary Chain's Psychocandy, Hüsker Dü's Zen Arcade and The Beatles' White Album. Cheers, everybody!
Sudev Sen Absolutly must listen to Tricky. Also, early Morcheeba too (Skye Edwards on vocals -- especially the albums Who Can You Trust? and Big Calm). Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp did vocals on Tricky's first album, Maxinquaye), Portishead, Everything But the Girl (especially the album Walking Wounded).
Broadcast...and Sterolab....Sneaker Pimps! and Beth Gibbons and Rustin man (lead singer of portishead) If you want newer, try Braids - Deep in the Iris...kinda closer to bjork then just trip hop...there is also Tei Shi's first two EP...I got more if you'd like

One of the greatest albums of all time
William James We can agree to disagree.
that's prolly your best bet
I don't know what they're smoking, this is one of the best albums ever. Most critics would have it in a top 100 somewhere.
grittyshaker The....
William James sure but like a rolling Stone is the best music of all time. Yes this is one of the best albums of all time my friend.
Insane album. It sounds like an odd mutant straight out from a dangerous bio lab. It's dark, horrifying, monstrous, brutal, and beautiful.
This album does NOT sound 20 years old.
24!!!
26 bro
It's timeless
it does have the 90s sound and vibe tho
It's immune to age. Sonic perfection.
Avant Garde + Downtempo + Darkwave + 1998 = STUNNING. Their Majestic Massive Attack.
Finally! This, my friends, is one of the greatest albums of all time.
I like listening to Mezzanine during winter. Dark and brooding music.
Yeah, it's a "fall/winter" vibe album for sure.
I would use it and 100th Window when taking on the challenges of Diablo I & II.
Or a dark winter night in Berlin
It's also good at night, on a mountain bike.
Mezzanine is one my favorite albums of all time. I remember being a teenager and watching "teardrop" for the first time on MTV and getting completely blown away by its beauty!
An unforgettable classic that will stand time like few others. I listen to this album after 20 years and it still gives me chills like the first time I heard it. A masterwork.
The Cure - Disintegration, Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, R.E.M. - Automatic For The People, Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible, Suede - Dog Man Star, Blur - 13, Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure, Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith And Devotion and Joy Division - Closer will all be great to see
haha depeche mode album, yes it is so good and dark
Possibly my fave album of all time,I never get tired of it a masterpiece
I was always partial to Portishead, where trip hop is concerned, but it’s an undeniable fact that this album is a fucking masterpiece, and holds up beautifully to this day. ✌🏼
Between them, Portis & Burial. literal perfect music
This album and Portishead dummy are awesome albums, both out of Bristol, was lucky enough to see mass attack back in 98/99
The best album of all the trip hop/bristol sound and totally a classic, also a timeless album
Inertia creeps is the best song on this record, what a track
This album is perfect.
luv ya luv ya luv ya luv ya
This album changed my life
its been 20 yrs omg
Martin Rotaveria and it still sounds fresh
anne bcleyn it does!!!
I'll never forget the day I heard it in a bookstore and had to have it, fall of 98
25* 😭
Thanks for posting this dark masterpiece.
Love the Bristol sound other darker trip hop artists like
Tricky, Portishead, Unkle, DJ Krush, Forest Swords, Allflaws
Angel, best music video ever
All the videos from this album are sooooo good.
Masterpiece, thank you Pitchfork
i've always loved the production but now i turn on the rolling lyrics feature with spotify and have a newfound appreciation for the lyrics. reminds me of early surrealist automatism
Bought this CD on sight just by looking at the cover when it was released, was not disappointed.
Gawd I still love this record.
Pitchfork taking the gold once again.
One of the top 10 albums of all time. In my humble opinion.
Hey it's Banksy! love your art fella.
YESSS! I've been waiting this for too long and now it's here!
One of the best albums of the 90's for sure.
🎵 You’re not my eater
I’m not your food 🎵
GREAT solid classic record
One of the greatest music band of all time
one day there will be arcade fire's funeral, i believe
Love this album
this album still sounds new!!
This album screams The Matrix
I listen to this album from May to September ;
Discontinuously - almost every day;
Every year from 2008.
i remember listening to this and the chemical brothers in my dads car when i was little.. good old times :)
Thanks for the insights. I love the album but knew almost none of this deep and messy background.
if mezzanine came out today, it woulds still be ahead of its time
Also love is a doing word.
Idk why I could never get into this album, everything about it makes it seem like it’d be right up my alley but the only song I like off it is exchange
Great! Love this album and this episode was so nice. I'd like to see episodes on Jesus And Mary Chain's Psychocandy, Hüsker Dü's Zen Arcade and The Beatles' White Album. Cheers, everybody!

I love dissolved girl
Classic album
Their "Unleashed" soundtrack is actually one of my favorites too.
This album is fucking wonderful
Slint next please.
Lol, just listened to this last night
What else to listen to triphop other than Portishead,Gorillaz and Massive Attack?
Sudev Sen Tricky is definitely one of the best in the genre, he worked extensively with Massive Attack. Check him out if u haven’t yet
Sudev Sen Listen to «Psyence Fiction» by UNKLE, «Entroducing...» by DJ Shadow, and «Maxinquaye» by Tricky. Have fun
anne bcleyn Exactly.
Sudev Sen Absolutly must listen to Tricky. Also, early Morcheeba too (Skye Edwards on vocals -- especially the albums Who Can You Trust? and Big Calm). Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp did vocals on Tricky's first album, Maxinquaye), Portishead, Everything But the Girl (especially the album Walking Wounded).

masterpiece
Humble Request : Talk Talk's Laughing Stock / This Mortal Coil's It'll End In Tears / Jeff Buckley's Grace
Houses teardrop Intro is how I discovered massive attack as a kid
Possible suggestion for the future:
Surrender by The Chemical Brothers?
this album slaps
Never heard of this album until I got the notification for this video. Pitchfork kicks ass!!!
Lucky you, I wish I could go back 20 years and experience this album for the first time again. Jealous.

When Pills n trills and bellyaches ?
100th Window wasn't critically panned??
Didn't fucking play in MADRID THO
House
Do literally anything by Joy Division
This guy sounds like he’s four
