Blue Lines still sounds fresh as fuck. I listen to it at least once a month. It makes me think that I am a character caught up in a film plot, walking around, as each scene and relationship changes. There's so much in here - not just with the music, but the mental images that are created. Horace Andy steals the show, although any one of the nine tracks are worthy of being the best song on the album. My only disappointment was that it was over so soon. Outstanding.

Some good tunes here (Safe & Unfinished), but I have always found this too polished to really standout as a classic. Some of the rhythms also seem a bit clunky now (Lately feels very ploddy, for instance). Good, but not great.
