Fragile, glassy, subtle, ethereal, sparse, gorgeous. Listening to this album is like being haunted by Mezzanine's ghost.

One of the many virtues of Mezzanine was that while it was certainly a long album, it never felt like one. Each idea lasts exactly as long as it should, and everything is kept wholly engaging throughout. 100th Window is different in that it's still long and sounds expansive, but the ideas die out before the songs do in many instances. That's obviously not to say this album doesn't have some great material. The bookends of the album are fantastic, and the trio of "What Your Soul Sings", "Everywhen", and "Special Cases" is quite good as well. Elsewhere, however, the songs are longwinded and even stray into boring territory. It's a shame that 3D was the only one left out of the founding members of the group at this time, because they've always been best when at full strength. Robert Del Naja performs valiantly here, but it's ultimately unable to hold a candle to records like Mezzanine or Blue Lines. That being said, there are some truly great moments to be found within 100th Window's expansive trip-hop atmosphere, and every fan of Massive Attack should definitely seek those out.

Massive Attack's fourth effort does not disappoint. The album, which does not have any samples, or jazz elements which had existed in their previous record are vanished and instead of Sara Jay and Elizabeth Fraser we have Sinead O' Connor. Horace Andy returns from Blue Lines and Mezzanine, but from the band only 3D does vocals. While Massive Attack may have changed their style, they changed in an undisappointing way combining soul, trip hop and electronica. The songs are longer, but sometimes the songs can be a tad too boring and repetitive at times due to that circumstance.

Though it's evident the holes that the missing members create, still Massive Attack pulls off an amazing follow-up to mega classic album Mezzanine. This to me, was very close and surprising that it was enjoyable after listening to Mezzanine (very high expectations). Songs like Special Cases,
Name Taken, Butterfly Caught, and Antistar are a continuation of the predecessor album in a way.
