'Protection' & 'Blue Lines'

My perception of Massive Attack was extremely off.

I found them -- at least on these two albums -- neither "massive" nor catgorized as an "attack." More like a "Marginal Affront."

I thought Massive Attack was aggressive and driving: A lot of songs assaulting the ear drums and pushing the limits of the human mind in accepting sonic ice cream headaches.

Instead it's a bunch of mellow electronica. Dance music for Generation X to drive their kids to soccer practice.

I can't imagine anyone listening to this. Moreso, if anyone did listen to it, I don't know where they'd do it. Possibly while doing heroin.
