Tricky, nocturnal poet, with smoke in your mouth and a penetrating gaze, you are just a fool. 'Mixed Race' is, just to rub salt in the wound, useless and pedantic, a chic and luxurious sedative for those who live on vacuity.

The review laments Tricky's fall from the heights of his early trip-hop masterpieces like 'Maxinquaye' to the disappointing 'Mixed Race'. The album is described as pedantic, unstable, and mostly forgettable, with only a few tracks offering any real merit. The reviewer questions Tricky's artistic direction and feels the record fails to capture the dark and powerful essence once so characteristic of his work. Explore Tricky's groundbreaking early work or listen to 'Mixed Race' and judge the decline yourself.
"Heligoland is a proverbial swan song of good taste, uncovered from any logic, surviving thanks to the trendy tastes of wonky rhythms and sensational motifs." "Soft, cool, with a few moments of light, but absolutely lacking in verve and very boring. Like a conversation that leads nowhere and concludes with 'what nice weather today'."

The review of Massive Attack's Heligoland highlights its stylish, trendy sound that fits well as a post-party soundtrack but criticizes its lack of avant-garde innovation and emotional depth. Compared to the band's earlier masterpieces like Mezzanine and 100th Window, Heligoland is seen as safe, pretentious, and ultimately boring. The album provides some soft moments but fails to capture the fierce energy fans hope for. Dive into our in-depth review of Heligoland and decide if Massive Attack’s latest trip-hop journey resonates with you.
Simple, direct, yet extremely beautiful and able to get under your skin and shatter your heart. One of the most beautiful records of the past decade. My heart is shattered.

M.I.A. is the emblem of a genre unto itself, too original, too daring, too raw and dirty to appeal to the mass. "Arular" is a kaleidoscope of alternative-electro-rap, which as soon as it is inserted into the player rapes the brain.

Cavallone was the non-plus-ultra of Italian surrealism: he managed to break those tedious physical/logical/pragmatic rules and scrambled your brain with a camera and a couple of actors. Spell is the proof: A film that comes straight from the left side of the heart. Violent, cerebral, witty, and beautiful.
