"Listening to Massive Attack's debut album, Blue Lines, 21 years after its initial release is like reading an old William Gibson novel that describes the then-near future, which is now the present, with unsettling precision. Nearly every song offers a sound currently in use in music's taste-making leading edge."
- Miles Raymer, Pitchfork
"Massive Attack’s debut Blue Lines, 21 years after its 1991 release, still drips from speakers and seeps underneath your skin in into the blue veins that run from your heart. It’s both a beautiful and alarming phenomenon how an album can have a transformative effect, transcending sound and plunging itself directly into the psyche.”
- Paula Mejia, Consequence of Sound
This seminal album of trip hop from the Bristol-based group Massive Attack was originally released in 1991 and spawned hundreds of chill out compilations and minimalist hip hop imitators. As true fans of Massive Attack know, nothing comes close to the original, and this 2012 remastered version of their innovative debut allows listeners a fresh take on these hard-hitting, impassioned tracks.
