There was a lengthy period of time in my life when I was addicted to Massive Attack and it was this album that was the gateway to this addiction. Angel was the first track I'd heard and from that moment forward I was completely hooked. That was 15 years ago. I love everything this band has done, but Mezzanine, to me, is the group's masterpiece. It was unlike anything I had ever heard and still unlike anything I've ever heard. The depth, imagination, orchestration, and production is unmatched. Perfect album from front to back.
