Reviews & Discussion
So far, the album of 2006 in my unasked opinion. Although they don't sound like Massive Attack, this release reminds me of Blue Lines to an extent. "Hours," the second track, has a similar disjointed hip-hop flair stylized with short but effective brass injections in the vein of "One Love." Similarly, the pre-requiste reggae excursion "Five Man Army" of the latter is complimented by the quasi-anthemic "A Method" here. However, what they both share and ties them together the most is the unique atmosphere each presents to listners. Massive Attack has a sultry, dark, trippy vibe whereas this opts for a more "shoegaze" aesthetic characterized by trance-inducing haze. The harmonics may be much for some but they are effective and memorable. Unfortunately, I don't feel the last two tracks to be quite up to par with the rest of the album but this may change and doesn't negate the overall effect of Return to Cookie Mountain. What this release does do though is establishing TV on the Radio into potential major players for the casual music listener.
