Just check out their Mezzanine album, it's one of my favorites. Unfortunately, their other releases weren't as strong, but songs like Three and Butterfly Caught are worth listening to, nonetheless.

People argue whether Blue Lines or Mezzanine is their best outing ever. The purists and critics say the former, the general public say the latter. For me, Mezzanine really set a new standard for my taste in music, so get it if you can.
I guess it really stands out for me because there is a story behind the track. On the day of 9/11 and the terroist attacks in New York, a radio statio called Nova969 here in Sydney (yes, the same one that brought us the PVD @ Amnesia Closing Party sets ) had constant updates of the situation in New York & Washington throughout the day.
I distinctly remember hearing interviews with people at the scene while the tune Massive Attack - Teardrop played in the background. They just had audio of people talking about what ahd happened, screaming, crying and just displaying pure shock and fear. It was an incredibly sad moment for me hearing what those people were going through and i will always remember the song because of that

Heeooo
Is the Massive Attack - Blue Lines album hard to find? For what track is their best it's think Unfinished Sympathy.
