your evaluation of protection is unbelievably wrong

Nevertheless, I'm grateful for it producing "Protection."

I love 100th Window on a level on par with the previous three these days. I need to give Heligoland a proper shot.

I loved "Splitting the Atom" as the theme to the very doomed series LUCK

I forgot how great "Live With Me" is, truly one of the best "singles tacked onto a best-of" ever

I wish these guys were more prolific so I didn’t miss them so much, even their “bad” songs sound good to me.

Heligoland was a slow grower - but it's now my fave along Mezzanine.

Wow, you must really hate 'Pre-Millennium Tension' to not even list it.

No Protection is worth a listen too

Maybe its #4? (xp)

PMT falls apart in its second side, "Lyrics of Fury" aside.

Yeah, I really disagree with that assessment. I think "Sex Drive," "My Evil is Strong," "Bad Things" and "Piano" just feel weak by comparison, because the first six tracks - "Vent" through "Ghetto Youth" are such an amazing run, but the whole album is ridiculously strong and cohesive. It sustains a very ugly, enervated mood and provides no relief or catharsis. I love it. It and Mezzanine are the two absolute keepers from this whole body of work IMO.

The first side is his most concentrated work; I can listen to "Tricky Kid" on loop for hours.

The PMT tour in 1997 was fucking wild. He played in almost total darkness. I saw the NYC date - Jeru the Damaja opened.
