This week in class we listened to the album Mezzanine by the group Massive Attack. Massive Attack are a trip-hop group, originating from the United Kingdom. They released the album Mezzanine in 1998, way before its time. I really enjoyed Massive Attack; they were unlike anything that I've heard before. Trip-hop is totally something that I'll look into now. It's like mellowed out dub and electronic. Very cool. And Massive Attack is one of the most famous and probably best trip-hop groups out there, so it was a very interesting experience to listen to them in class with the lights out and the visualizer on. I'd say that was an hour well spent. Anyways, I'll post some of the cool videos to several songs off the album below, along with the entire album, if you really want to hear it. Enjoy!

Full Album (If you're up for the listen!)
Massive Attack is a really interesting group and I'm glad Mr. A showed them to us! Even though it was kind of a long haul listening to the whole album, which is over an hour in length, it was definitely worth it. Well thank you for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!
