Massive Attack - Collected (CD 2006)

Teardrop & Unfinished symphony make this album the rest is a very good listening music after a hard days shopping!

I bought this album because the track Tear Drops was on it. This song has also encouraged to listen to more Massive Attack tracks. On the whole it is an album that you can chill out to as well as play as background music during dinner parties.

I have enjoyed the album but it is possibly too mellow.

Fantastic collection of all the massive attack classics-brings back all those wonderful memories of a wonderful era in music.

my husband loves music like this so i bought it for him for christmas .buying off ebay saved me going out to shops and its so easy to buy anything.

Being fairly new to Massive Attack, I had heard of the obvious classics such as unfinished sympathy and teardrop, but had no idea that the one tune that sent shivers down my spine (and that I had been trying to find out who the artist was for over a year) was in fact "Angel". I was completely blown away by the tune and by sheer coincidence it was playing at a friends shop a few days ago when I called by and the rest is history......

With baited breath I waited for the postal strike to end and when I received the cd, I was not disapppointed. This is a Fantastic collection of Massive Attack's work and I am now on the path to collecting all their albums - I LOVE this CD. I think I have played it 10 or more times in 3 days and it's still as brilliant as the first time!!

Wanted this cd and with using ebay to buy and sell other items was easy. Checked other sellers prices and postage chose this one. Made bid, won item, paid by paypal, received a day or so later

i love this albu ♥ it is sooo good, it has been well mad and the songs are so catchy its unreal....BRILLIANT!

Its an old classic CD where a couple of songs bring back good memories. Its excellent music to listen to. This is proper music not like todays waffle.

I liked the album. Teardrop and Unfinished Sympathy were very good. The other songs were pretty ok. I think you will get more enjoyment out of the album, if you have followed them through the years. It is the first Massive Attack album I have bought. It is there greatest hits, overall pretty good.

I bought this item because i love this type of music and i have enjoyed listening to this since i bought this 2 months back, when i listen to this type of music i feel really emotional, the songs on the cds make me think about life and my mind is so focused on the song itself. When i chose this CD i was in for a real bargain, for 9.95 that was a really good buy compared to others cds i have bought of the system (ebay) it was a really good price to buy a cd of that quality of that standard. So ever since i bought this item i have really enjoyed listening to it and i hope to now and in the near future.

When Massive Attack decided to release their long awaited best of album there was rightly so a buzz among fans. I myself as a huge massive attack fan was greatly looking forward to buying it. Finding myself a reasonably priced copy on here i purchased, and when it arrived i eagerly put it straight into my cd player; unfortunatly my eagerness turned out to be non deserved.
The problem with this album is whereas terrific songs such as 'Butterfly Caught', 'Teardrop', 'Unfinished Symphony,' and 'Angel' theres so many gems from the later albums that just went missing. I found it dissapointing not to introduce two songs in particular; 'Special Cases,' and a song that was featured on The Matrix soundtrack, both of these songs among my personal favourites.
The album itself isn't half bad, the thing is it could have been so much better. I think the problem was that when it came to choosing their best songs to feature on the album they just couldn't quite choose which ones to pick.
My advice on this album is that if you're a huge Massive Attack fan, and i mean you own stuff from before the 90s, you'll love this album. However, if you're more a fan of their chillout era, in particular their collaberations with Portishead, Sinead O'connor and others then you might not enjoy this album as much.

Am I missing something here?

Hyped up on the TV, all those little catchy tunes are played and of course the wonderful voice of that wee lass from Everything But The Girl.

I bought the CD and sat back to enjoy. I didn't it was poor. Left it a week and tried again - still poor. Left it a further two weeks and one last chance - very, very poor.

Took the hit and sold it here on eBay. Over-hyped and gutteral rubbish.

There are several reasons why I bought this CD. Simply because there has been no other artists in this field that comes close to the music Massive Attack have entertained us with since 1991. All the classics like Unfinished Sympathy, Teardrop & Karmacoma are here in a very big pool of sublime musical and lyrical excellence. Even the new track Live With Me is in the Massive Attack trademark of relaxed grooves and crunching chorus. The surprise omission I though was Special Cases from the 100th Window LP featuring Sinead O'Connor on vocals. It was one of the best tracks on there but all is forgiven with What Your Soul Sings keeping Sinead fans happy. If you have never bought a Massive Attack CD this is a great place to start. A mere opening of the door that leads to the brilliant musical house that is Massive Attack.

I loved the full album. Excellent quality/condition and a real bargain!
The item was sent out in great time and I highly recommend using this seller.
The album was also a very limited edition and hard to find.

I love the whole album, the greatest hits are without a doubt the best songs that Massive Attck have ever written.
The only thing i was very dissaointed about was the fact the CD came in a cardboard sleve and the cover was differant from the Album sold in shops, this was because it was a CD promo, it was not mentioned in the item description that the CD packaging would dffer.I knew it was a CD promo, but i thought the case would be the same as the item picture.
I bought this item from Ebay because it is cheaper than buying it in the shops.
