Hey everyone...
I'm glad it's finally here and i got thinking... how popular is Massive Attack in USA?
In Belgium (Europe?) they have a real cult status although they aren't the underground music scene they were at the start.
Actually... Massive Attack has a real big audience here, moslty people who enjoy the altarnative music world (like me ).
Ok.... it's true, the new cd sounds really easy and slow, compare to the last one (Mezzanine) but i loooooove the album
Hope they will go on tour soon again, cause i want to see them again.

I've never heard of them but that means nothing.

I'm at least 10 years behind with curent music.

Thx Kelly

They will not come to perform in Belgium... closest they will come is Paris (FR) or Amsterdam (NL)

I too am behind in the pulse as to what music is popular - - - but I can bet - - - - with a name like "Massive Attack" - it will never be a big seller over here. Wrong name - wrong time - - - and I haven't even heard the music yet. Now a song like "Osama-yo mama wrapped your terbin too tight" - - - that might sell a few!!!

Actually, if you check their website, Massive Attack (together with RadioHead, Rem, Live, U2 and others) are really coming out for their peacefull thoughts.
Massive Attack is called "Trip-Hop" and are to be compared with Faithless, Leftfield and more like these bands.
Hmmm, i think, the biggest classic song from Massive Attack is "Unfinished Sympathy".... try to listen to it at a store, i'm sure you will recognise it

Was thinking not to go to that festival this year but... (((sigh))) how can i refuse now
