This Bristol trio has become one of the best trip-hop
groups ever, even possibly responsible for the trip-hop
genre, featuring the skills of Grant Marshall (aka Daddy
Gee), Robert del Naja (3D), and Andrew Vowles (Mushroom).
In 1988 they formed the creative core of Massive Attack.
Three years later in 1991 their debut album Blue Lines was
greeted with much acclaim. While 1994's album Protection
was even a greater artistic and commercial success (both
albums sold over a million units worldwide).
The albums feature contributions from Horace Andy and
Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl; also appearing are
Nicolette and fellow Bristolian Tricky, both now in their
own solo careers. Not until 1998 did their long awaited
third albu More...

------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
This is one of my most favourtie songs of all time. And to clarify the abortive video rumour, the trio have said it is simply about the beauty of life, its realistic, but a little off scale. jsut to put your mind at ease, just relax and enjoy the video and song about life, i personally think its a touching and beautiful combo. And the baby is just getting ready to be born near the end, and yet again the size scale isnt the best. xxx

A good friend of mine introduced me to this song and video this year, and this song always stunned me with its poignancy and well written lyrics. The depth and beauty of this song is deep. Massive Attack is fantastic.
I love it... | Reviewer: Chrisitan
------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
I feel so ignorant looking at the lyrics now... I've always thought that it says "You're totally in the Dark." at the end. It made sense to me.... Listen to it again. Listen to the last verse. You might hear it too...

------ About the song Angel performed by Massive Attack
This song is like a soundtrack to my life! I was listening to it when i was in a car accident. My car was crushed, i was unconcious, and this song was blaring from the car. There was fire engines and everything, trying to cut me out....and the song kept playing. Its quite an eerie song, especially because i remember hearing this faintly in the background. Amazing track.

------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
actually the song was performed by liz frasser of the Cocteau twins...although beth sounds eerily like liz. The song reminds me of a battle against oppression and the struggle to do so, but it's the perserverance of an individual that voices their emotions. As for the reccomendations of downloading some portishead, it's a must for every iPod out there. Preferably the self titled album.

Correction | Reviewer: Primal
------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
The song has less to do with abortion than you think Christina. The purpose for the baby in the film clip was simply because Beth Gibbons that sang this particular track (also lead singer of Portishead) was pregnant at the time of recording... So I suggest if you enjoyed her voice, try downloading (legally of course) some Portishead music...

------ About the song Small Time Shot Away performed by Massive Attack
ive heard this song enough times, and its still impossible to kill it. my own perception on this is closer to what most of you guys have been saying... particularly the aspect of intimacy on drugs... i have another take on it though... its about having that one magic moment with the ultimate chick/dude, and choosing to spend it on drugs because it would intensify it all. spending it sober would be a memory, but youre choosing to forget it all only so you can feel it in a much stronger manner... try to match the lyrics to this idea... but primarily, yeah, drugs and love. im guessing its open to suggestion

Surprisingly | Reviewer: Christina
------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
I love this song for its angelic quality and ethereal atmosphere, but I was extremely surprised when I watched the music video for "Teardrops". Judging from the video, the song is written in the perspective of a fetus that is awaiting the moment it is to be aborted. In other words, this song is an ode to abortion and appears to hint at the opinion that abortion is a cruel and undeserving fate since it portrays the fetus as a strong individual who is just trying to live an innocent life with no malicious designs on anyone.
From that moment on, whenever I hear this song I think about abortions and consequently, abortions being a controversial topic, I feel slightly uncomfortable listening to it.
Nonetheless, "Teardrops" is a beautiful song with raw emotion and fully capable of affecting anyone who listens to it.
amazing lyrics. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Live With Me performed by Massive Attack
lyrics of this depth are what can be expected from a group of Massive Attack's caliber. They are an amazing band, I have yet to find one song from them that I dislike. No one can go wrong by buying (not stealing) their work.
Dependency | Reviewer: Collie
------ About the song Small Time Shot Away performed by Massive Attack
This song is describing an off and on relationship. The relationship is rocky and damaging to both of the people but they stay together because there is nobody else that could make them feel the same. (We never leave each other coz we leave each other so cold). Love can reel you in and make you do silly things. The imagery created in these lyrics could also relate to drugs.. "her" being the drug.. a male addict and his relationship with a drug that makes him feel better. I personally think he is talking about a female that makes him feel high and low.. like a drug affect. I love this song though, it has to be one of my favourites.

Angel is such an eerie, yet beautiful song. I listen to it over and over, and it just seems to make me forget about everything that's gone wrong in my life... it's hard to explain. Wonderful song.
mhmm. | Reviewer: maria
------ About the song Tear Drop performed by Massive Attack
this is a gorgeous song; the lyrics are simple, but their effect is enough, and the music that goes with this song is perfectly matched to the mood that the lyrics give. the flow is very gentle and it presents no obvious emotions, and this can be interpreted however the listener prefers. for me, personally, it is relaxing, even though i feel that the lyrics convey some bitterness- for what, i haven't the foggiest, apologies.
like another reviewer mentioned, an instrumental version is used as the opening song on house MD, and even if it had the lyrics, the song is perfectly suited to the show. that is completely irrelevant, so sorry. xD
all the work is outstanding, even cover versions like "Just Be Thankful for what you've got". every tune stays in your mind for ever. the best band on the planet for capturing the mood. *****

The song has very deep rhythms, it's a very dark song, but it's also a very beautiful song. The melody and vocals are wonderful.

Its about war. | Reviewer: bit
------ About the song Small Time Shot Away performed by Massive Attack
its about people and their desires that lead to conflict. people are driven by sex. the cold that we feel when we separate is jealousy and unquenched desire. it boils. its wartime everytime. line em up and knock em down. shoot away people are bad.. this is a depressing band. good noise to work to tho.
