CMJ (1/11/99, p.7) - "...The grandfathers of trip-hop pulled off yet another wise and wily album, redefining the future shape of pop, soul and trip-hop, while inspiring another wave of artists in the process..."
Musician (7/98, pp.84-86) - "...at once the best and most personal album of their career....MEZZANINE shows them creating exotic, bruised backdrops for battered relationships that feel as strangely alienating as a night out with Travis Bickle..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/15/98, pp.102-103) - "MEZZANINE is Victorian trip-hop--hulking, clangorous, and dank....It's industrial music for the turn of the century--the 19th century." - Rating: A-

    マッシブはこの盤だけじゃなくて全て好き。 でもこの盤はジャケに妙にひきつけられて…。 この盤の曲は静かな中にも強い意思を感じてそれがジャケとあっている気もする。 踊れないクラブミュージック。 そんな風に揶揄されたけれども、何も踊るだけがクラブミュージックじゃない。 静かに世界に入り込んでその空気によいしれる。 それもまた一つの楽しみ方。 音の振動、波長を感じ取り、身震いを生じる。 そんな盤。 完全にイカされる音。

    '98年発表。ブリストル・シーンの、そしてトリップホップの先駆的存在であるプロデュース・ユニットの94年以来のアルバムだ。ファットで音圧感のあるボトムとダークなアンビエント感覚が特徴的。ダブ、ヒップホップ、テクノなどの手法が混ざり、時にダイナミックなビートやギターなどの楽器音が音空間のスケールを大きく広げる。元コクトー・ツインズのエリザベス・フレイザーも参加。元祖未来型ポップの底力を知る1枚。

    1st,2nd共にすばらしかったが、本作はそれらをさらに凌ぐ。最高傑作でしょ。稚拙な表現で申し訳ないが、これを聴いていると自分が暗く沈み込んで行く様が妙に冷静に理解できる一方で、無性に脳が熱くなるのを抑えられない。購入後10年以上経ってもだ。なんぞこれ。
