Title: Dropped the hop from "trip hop" - one-third of the attack
Review: Disappointing after all the wait. A sad day for fans. This album is boring.Most importantly, two of the main songwriters from their previous albums, Marshall and Vowles, are glaringly missing.This is not Massive attack. It is the Robert Del Naja and Sinead O'Connor show.No more of the smooth laid back rapping style that I loved from their previous albums. It suffers from a lack of variety opting for a more consistent (read: monotonous) sound throughout. Where are the guitars or the energy of previous releases? 3 Sinead songs is three too many. Her "Prayer for England" is the worst track with M.A. written on it.I'm beginning to think that there are a lot people being paid to write 5 star "customer reviews" of albums. This trend is disheartening, although I'm not surprised. Be wary! Before you buy an album spend some time listening to it at the store, even if you've liked all of the artist's previous albums (like Massive Attack).
Is the review positive or negative?
