    The Year was 1991

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 28, 2002

    A ragtag trio of Britfag throwbacks got together their last remaining brain cells and blew the dance world away. This must have proves that the universe is chaotic and at the same time quite ordered. As does our mental connection we feel together ri...ght now. Read more Less

    ....WOW!!!!

    I can't believe it's 10 years since Massive Attack first burst onto the scene with the unforgettable Unfinished Sympathy (with Shara Nelson's stunning vocal, lest we forget) This album hasn't aged one bit, yet it seems like a lifetime since Blue Lin...es first came out. As a rock fan, I'm not easily impressed by soul and dance records, but this stands as an album in a class of its own. Most impressive of all is the way they blended together elements of hip-hop, dub reggae and cool funk and soul to create a dazzlingly sublime, mellow sound that was (to quote 'Q' Magazine) designed "for the head first and the feet second". This is one of the few records in history that has genuinely launched 1,000 imitations - just ask Tricky, Nearly God, Maxwell etc. Read more Less

    phenomenal classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 2, 2001

    my blue lines cd still gets heavier rotation on my player than protection and mezzanine despite having had it for 6 years already. take note of the appearances of tricky and horace andy, artists who later became bigger icons in their respective field...s. shara nelson provides vocals to one of the best songs of the decade, 'unfinished sympathy', and the fantastic opener, 'safe from harm'. sweet, sexy, and soulful, it is proof that you don't need to be loud to be dark. one of the most unheralded gems in music; if you don't have this cd yet, please buy it online NOW. you'll see why everyone who's posted a message here gives blue lines the 5 stars it so richly deserves. it's been 10 years since its release, but the beauty of blue lines hasn't tarnished a bit.

    ALL TIME FAVOURITE

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 1, 2001

    'Protection' is a bit too formatted with it's neat two halves and each singer doing just two songs, one in each half. On Blue Lines, everything's a lot more random and emotive, 3D and Tricky seemingly rapping wherever they get the chance to, and Dadd...y G's menacing boom seeping in and out of audability. Although 'Five Man Army' and the track 'Blue Lines' are close contenders, the best track has to be 'Unfinished Sympathy', and its Shara Nelson who really makes this album what it is: faultless. It would've been nice to hear more out of Tony 'Be Thankful For What You've Got' Bryan, though. Read more Less

    Great album, the creators of Trip Hop, Massive Attack, have treated us with a smooth and cool album that still sounds fantastic today. Worth 5/5 just for the last song "Hymn Of The Big Wheel", this Earth Prayer is a spectacular ending to a great albu...m. Read more Less
