“**💭 Thoughts:** *Blue Lines*, Massive Attack’s 1991 studio album, is often credited with being the first trip-hop album. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of this soul/hip-hop orientated sound, and much prefer the more darker and industrial sound that came later on in trip-hop’s history. While I can acknowledge this album’s greatness and importance, I believe it’s best quality is laying the foundation for better albums to come like *Mezzanine*, their later, darker project. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good album, but just not for me. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Safe From Here 🔵🥉 2.) One Love 🟢 3.) Blue Lines 🔵🥇 4.) Be Thankful For What You’ve Got 🔵 5.) Five Man Army 🔵 6.) Unfinished Sympathy 🟢 7.) Daydreaming 🟢 8.) Lately 🔵🥈 9.) Hymn Of The Big Wheel 🟡 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
