This is the Greatest Hits album of a group so good they could have finished after their debut and called it Greatest Hits. It's difficult to summarise their style, it's bassy epic chillout, very emotive and atmospheric, often drawing on regional styles (like African drumming, Asian styles etc.). About half the tracks will appeal to people who (think they only) like hip-hop, tracks like Inertia Creeps (cd1 t5) with inspired waves of drumming and almost whispering rap over them. The tracks Massive Attack are best known for though are Unfinished Sympathy (cd1 t8) (regularly topping polls for Britains' favourite track) and Teardrop (cd1 t4) which is a fairly dark chillout tune. Brilliant album that's artistically incredible, true innovators. If you want any info on them check the Wikipedia link above, very informative (on positive and negative points).
