Blue Lines vs. Mezzanine

[unwound floors]

Massive Attack are tied with Underworld for my favourite band ever. Both are great, but Mezzanine wins out, for me - it's the darkness and tension of the whole thing, it feels very cohesive as a whole, like it's telling a story. And the songs themselves - Christ, where to begin? Inertia Creeps? Angel? Mezzanine? Group Four? Teardrop? Every single one is bloody brilliant.
