ATMOSPHERIC, moody and downbeat, Danny The Dog is Massive Attack in full flow, if not at their very best.
For a group that made its name with sorrowful, tragic tracks such as Teardrop, this instrumental record is more aggressive and robust than fans may have experienced in the past. Trademark Massive moments are few and far between, but when they appear in Polaroid Girl, they leave you invigorated.
As a soundtrack, it's not an archetypal Massive album, and should not be treated as such. Danny The Dog bends the band in a new direction, posing fresh musical questions while encompassing some beautiful pieces. Give me more.
