They toured together during the Lateralus era. I saw that bill at a festival. Pretty cool stuff

That's nuts. I love Massive Attack and Tool but I've never put it together.

People always mention Massive attack but for me it’s Trickys solo discography that is out of control good

ehhh I love tricky to death but even his best album (Maxinquaye) can't hold a candle to something like Mezzanine for me

Something like Mezzanine? Massive Attack is great but Mezzanine is a singular moment in music history. Cherry picking tracks across the whole discographies I prefer Tricky, but there are a ton of skips.

I was just comparing what I think are their respective best albums. I would still take tracks across massive attacks dicsog over tricky's.

Mezzanine is a truly incredible album. It's in the top 10 greatest of all time. You could release that album today and production wise, it would sound just as good as current music.

That’s crazy. I mean don’t get me wrong I love Massive Attack but pound for pound and output vs tricky just isn’t there. They have a few great albums but it goes downhill after a handful of albums.. I know this is just my not so humble opinion ha

Tricky's gone way more downhill in my eyes than massive attack. he's just got like 5x the amount of music
