Why wasn't this Mezzanine instead? I acknowledge I'm biased because Mezzanine was the first Massive Attack album I listened to, on the recommendation of probably some LiveJournal internet friends who didn't actually read my blog I was just fascinated with them because they were people who lived in cities and were older than me, but I really didn't think that this album was as varied and as interesting overall as Mezzanine. Another history lesson that I would know about if I had the book? A mystery for the ages.
