I have heard 100th window criticised as less overwhelming than say Mezanine, but it is truly Massive in sound and feel and I return to it again and again for 3Ds eliptic intelligent lyrics and the wonderful colaboration with Sinead etc. So many wonderful songs and certainly keeping the spirit alive to await Daddy Gs return

I have received pirate copy of CD ( simple TDK CD which you can buy in any computer shop) enclosed in original packaging. Seem that the seller just copied the original one onto this one. I am very dissapointed with that as I was sure that I am purchasing an original ( used )CD. Be carefull while buying items from that seller!!

Great album - it was not going to live up to Mezzanine but what would? Take this album on its own merits and its a real pleasure to listen to and as long as you are not too hung up on their past glories you will enjoy. Butterlfly caught and Special cases are excellent.

In my opinion, this album is an absolute masterpiece. There are many things I like about it. The first is that there is no other album in the universe that is anything like it. The second is that the music is so captivating and quality, and the third is that it is best played loud! I'd like to apologise to my neighbours! This album demands to be listened to. Unlike some other reviews, I don't think this album is repetative, I think it's just the same style of music, like Kraftwerk, only it's nothing like Kraftwerk. It's also nothing like their other albums so it's nice to have a change. My favourite tracks are : -Futre proof -What your soul sings -Special cases -Butterfly caught -A prayer for England -Small time shot away (my favourite) -Antistar Wait a minute, that's most of them. It really is a fantastic album and I suggest it to everyone. 100% recommended.

For me, this album emphasizes the brewing uncertainty after 9/11. It seemed to capture these times with the invasion of Iraq, al-Qaedas televised terrorism and the total chaos of the world. With the sound turned down on the TV it was a perfect soundtrack for the News headlines as the US troops entered Baghdad with Sinead O'Connor giving a fragile delivery on Special Cases prompting us to 'take a look around the world, you see such mad things happening'. The mood continues on Butterfly Caught with Del Naja's fractured vocals, swirling indian style strings and clostraphobic, almost industrial rythymn. The inlay photography lends itself to the mood of the album showing ice-like figures being blown apart, glass body parts in a cold, almost clinical Kraftwerk-esque studio backdrop. There's not much light here to break up the darkness as on Mezzanine - each track is as dark as the other. Sinead O'Connor's gives us her most outstanding performance to-date to an almost desperate sounding plea on A Prayer For England. There's obviously some old Massive Attack style missing but that's not a bad thing. It's just different and a lot darker.
