Massive Attack : Special Cases
...the sound of the batteries running down...
Since their deeply soulful debut album ‘Blue Lines’, Massive Attack’s records have got progressively whiter. Twelve years on, a Massive Attack album is now the place you go for menacing Gothic basslines and a chilly dose of alienation, not a pan-cultural dance explosion that’ll move you in new, dramatic ways. Now, the emotional range of a Massive Attack record runs from misery to paranoia, and the tunes have gone the way of disappeared diva Shara Nelson. Featuring a warbling O'Sinead Connor, ‘Special Cases’ is the sound of the batteries running down.
