Yeah but I meant specifically these two. I really don't see many people that would love both of them.. Either they're fans of Mezzanine and think Blue Lines is overrated (eg. me), or vice versa.

That's because Mezzanine is amazing and Blue Lines is just okay

And Unfinished Sympathy is nothing special

Yeah you're one of them (us) 😁 . And I actually think Unfinished Sympathy is amazing, but the other songs just don't follow IMO

and then there are those 'Protection' freaks 😨

I like both Blue Lines and Mezzanine a lot. They're pretty close on my chart and occasionally switch places with each other. I would say Mezzanine feels like a more cohesive album because every song works towards this dark atmosphere; I would say Blue Lines has much more variety, sounds less 'forced' than Mezzanine most of the time, and has aged better than Mezzanine (It's also one of the first trip-hop albums, if not the first, so it's got the influence thing going for it if you're into that). Both albums have about the same number of great songs

Well, Blue Lines came out when I was in college and I have a lot of memories of 3am car drives to the beach (about two hours away) with this album playing and smoking some nice things in the car on the way 😉 Blue Lines is much more than one tune, and I actually love the variety on this album.

Soverrated

The first and the last track are fantastic but in between there it leaves a little to be desired.

I own it 😁 😁

And it is actually better than average

I'm just going to ignore the last part, and only read the first two points.

Man, why do you guys keep choosing albums that I hate? I really don't wanna troll, but every time I see the AotD, I have no choice 😕

Oh well. The problem I've always had with trip-hop is that it's too rough AND too synthesized at the same time. Better than dub step, though.

If you want a good trip-hop album that doesn't fall into that trap, I'd highly recommend Sepiamusic's Prototype album. Absolutely amazing.
