Genre[edit]

I'm adding Art Rock as a genre since Mezzanine is a more progressive album with alot of tension in the soundscapes.Revan ltrl 12:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing that as a genre since Mezzanine is not a rock album, nor are its creators rock artists. .Absolution. 02:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. They are rock.Revan ltrl (talk) 19:15, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mezzanine (album)[edit]

Alanis Morissette? She wasn't a guest vocalist in Mezzanine. I am removing her.

The track list in the spanish page is different (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzanine) Was this album released in different versions? --212.121.229.186 (talk) 06:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Pol[reply]

Internet Album[edit]

Although I usually hang around the IDM related pages, my GF has recently got me interested in Massive Attack. I added two albums that have since been released on the internet before commercial release, the previous edit stating that Massive Attack were the only ones to do it. --Insomniak 06:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Personel[edit]

Massive Attack in not a person, I am removing it.

Personnel can mean more than one person. I have placed it back. Genxima (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Inertia Creeps[edit]

Wasn't "Inertia Creeps" used in a Victoria's Secret advertising campaign in 2001 or 2002? CFBSolon 10:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but I know it wasn't the song playing in Neo's headphones at the beginning of The Matrix, as the article incorrectly states. That song was, in fact, "Dissolved Girl." Correction in T minus twenty. .Absolution. 02:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sara Jay[edit]

Is the Sara Jay that sang on "Dissolved Girl" the same as the pornstar?--Azior 13:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-> Of course not. 79.201.17.83 (talk) 09:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Her name is Sarah Jay Hawley: https://sarahjayhawley.com -- Who is like God? (talk) 23:23, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Professional Reviews[edit]

It's been over a year since anyone has commented on this page... Just for those who may be reading, I've expanded on the Reviews section under the Album "box". This is a very good album, not only in my opinion, but universally, and it should at least be at a FA (featured article) level. Genxima (talk) 16:25, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reception, Track Listing[edit]

I've done that as well. Genxima (talk) 20:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed a sentence about one of the covers of "Teardrop", as this subject is dealt with more thoroughly and more properly under the Wikipedia "Teardrop" entry. Ramseyman (talk) 05:33, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teardrop[edit]

The track Teardrop in its instrumental version is used in the TV Series House M.D in the US version intro —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.81.144.77 (talk) 13:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Manic Street Preachers[edit]

Did Manic Street Preachers record their version of Inertia Creeps several years before 1998? Reading the article it seems to be in this way, but the voice of Manic Street Preachers version is not Edwards'; it's the same voice of the album version, I suppose. I think Manics recorded all the instruments but not the voice, so maybe they did so even after Edwards' disappearance (February 1995). In fact I don't think Manics covered the song three (or more) years before it was published on the album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.37.10.40 (talk) 23:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tracks using samples[edit]

The article says "[...] the majority of the songs consists of one or more samples [...]", but according to the track listing only 5 out of 11 tracks use samples. ✎ HannesP · talk 15:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks songwriting credits for a real C-class and some sections have no citations at all. Good job overall though! Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
