Summary: Music Collectors
Comment: For those who enjoy the listening ventures of electronica and/or world music, this album definitely meets the best of each music style. Though I am more prone to their more popular collections (my favorite of all time: Protection), it was a nice treat to hear Massive Attack create and collaborate with other interesting artists. For instance, the song 'Teardrop' was sung by the former lead singer for the Cocteau Twins; and there was another interesting track sung by Sinead O'Connor. Overall, this 'best of' album consisted of some massively cool stuff.
In addition, the DVD portion was quite interesting. I wasn't expecting to see a strip tease (for 'Be Thankful For What You've Got') as part of this DVD collection; however, that video was done in somewhat good taste. As for the remaining videos, there was some cool digital and visual effects.
Overall, I am glad I COLLECTED this CD as part of my music library!

Summary: AMAZING
Comment: Did you never had anything from Massive Attack? You had listen to some songs, here and there..
This is a very very good hits album. I usually buy compilations, or greatest hits albums from bands that I already have almost everything. Well, I amazed about this selection from Massive Attack.
Even if you never heard anything from them, give it a try with this album and you won't be disappointed. The two audio discs are full of excellent songs. The DVD just make this album a five star item. I guess there are 14 videos. Be aware of dvd/audio disc, yeah, this album is composed by one audio cd and a dual side disc. One side is dvd and the other is the second audio cd. Nice idea ;-)

Summary: Massively Addicting
Comment: This is a GREAT double album, you get a CD with some of the best of [MA], and dual CD/DVD that has new material and videos. its my first [MA] album and I love it. The only thing I was disappointed with was that they did not include "The hunter gets captured by the game" with Tracy Thorne, because that's one of their best collabs in my opinion. But non the less, you get many great performances here, including Mos Def if I'm not mistaken.
Very Nice album, highly recommended to electronica genre fans everywhere.
Enjoy

Summary: Perhaps the best ever Massive material.
Comment: Good collection of some of their material from past years...plus a few great b-sides/remixes...all in the typical Massive style. My favorite group.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must have for any Massive Attack fan
Comment: Unlike the single 'Collected' CD, this item gets you THREE discs (well, the main CD + a DualDisc with a second CD on one side and a DVD on the other side), so I would consider it a good value.
The main CD is a very good mix of their best songs, the second CD has 10 B-sides/new tracks (while not their best, if you are a fan, its great to hear some new work!), and the DVD has 16 music videos.
While this would not be a bad place for a new listener to start, the B-sides might not strike a cord unless you are already a fan and are into their sound - this is a must-have for any fan.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The group who single-handedly created the woozy, sexual, cinematic, and meditative dance genre known as trip-hop with their 1991 masterpiece Blue Lines later went on to craft gorgeous soundtrack music and generally emerge as one of the most forward-thinking, fastidious, and s-l-o-w production teams in pop music. Collected, a best-of compilation straddling the group's career, is the kind of record that reeks "contractual obligation," but that's not meant as a diss. If a kick-ass collection like this is what it takes for this heady group to keep the record execs happy while they slowly hone a new album, so be it. Much of the older tunes sound remarkably contemporary, which isn't surprising when you consider Massive Attack have always mixed styles in radical, new ways. The one new tune included to entice die-hard fans, the slowly percolating and deeply bluesy "Live With Me," is what soul music will sound like in the future. --Mike McGonigal
