Mezzanine | |
| Mezzanine (Music) | comment |
Mezzanine (1998) is the third album by English trip-hop group Massive Attack. The album was a major departure from the jazzy and laidback sound of their first two albums, Blue Lines (1991) and Protection (1994). The sounds are more Darker and Edgier with a shift towards Alternative Rock and Ambient.Mezzanine is Massive Attack's most commercially successful album to date, attributed in part to the success of the singles "Angel" and "Risingson" but especially "Teardrop", used as the theme song for the medical drama show House. It is listed on both Rolling Stone and NME's lists of the 500 greatest albums of all time (#412 and #215, respectively). It was the final album to feature Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles, who split from the band due to Creative Differences. | |

Title Drop | |
| Mezzanine (Music) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: "Man Next Door" comes very close but technically averts it by phrasing the title slightly differently ("there is a man that lives next door"). | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis: "Teardrop" is recognizable to fans of the TV series House, because the show uses the song as its intro theme. | |

| Mezzanine (Music) / int_2bbe31c9 | comment |
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: If you don't like bugs, you might find the album cover a bit icky. The full picture of the bug◊ is probably ickier. The music video for "Teardrop", with its depiction of an unborn baby drifting through a massive, empty womb, is more than a little disturbing. Especially when the baby start singing. "Man Next Door" | |

Sampling | |
| Mezzanine (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: The album makes heavy use of samples from the early 1970s. "Angel" samples "Last Bongo in Belgium" by the Incredible Bongo Band. "Risingson" samples "I Found A Reason" from Velvet Underground's Loaded. "Teardrop" has a sample of "Sometimes I Cry" by Les McCann. "Inertia Creeps" samples "Rockwrok" by Ultravox. "Exchange" samples both "Our Day Will Come" by Isaac Hayes and "Summer in the City" by Quincy Jones. "Man Next Door" is built up from samples by "When the Levee Breaks" from Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin IV and "10:15 Saturday Night" by The Cure. "Black Milk" samples "Tribute" by Manfred Mann. "Mezzanine" samples "Heavy Soul Slinger" by Bernard Purdie. "Superpredator" samples "Metal Postcard" by Siouxsie and the Banshees, but only on the Japanese release. | |

Obsession Song | |
| Mezzanine (Music) / int_6112fb53 | comment |
Obsession Song: "Angel", of the passive type. The song was originally done by constant collaborator/quasi-band member Horace Andy as a Reggae love song, but the harsh, Alternative Rock riffing and pounding drums just illustrate how the instrumental backing can drastically change a song's context. | |

Intercourse with You | |
| Mezzanine (Music) / int_dbfe8427 | comment |
Intercourse with You: It's more obvious in some songs than in others — the chorus of "Inertia Creeps" is basically just "moving up slowly / she comes," and a prominent line in "Mezzanine" is "don't frown / tastes better on the way back down." Actually, pretty much the only songs on the album that don't have this are "Exchange," "Man Next Door," and maybe "Group Four" depending on one's interpretation. | |

Grief Song: "Teardrop". Being that Elizabeth Fraser wrote about her own feelings after learning her friend Jeff Buckley had passed away. Gives more of a factor as to why the song's bleak tone is the way it is. | |
