Album Notes & Community Reviews

Massive Attack's fifth album is a stripped-back, hypnotic collection of electronic songs. Featuring guest vocals from Damon Albarn and Hope Sandoval, 'Heligoland' relies on repetition and sparse arrangements to create tension. It is a grower of an album that rewards patience.
