Even after repeated listens, I can't say I totally... get it. This is much less Trip Hop and more post-rock stuff here. I'd hardly call this Trip Hop, even. At least, not the brand Massive Attack were known for.

Instrumental is fantastic, but the effects on the vocals sound a bit weird. They work with the sound of the song... but they sound quite creepy. The music video is pretty terrifying, too. Very surreal.

I'll put this at a 70 for now, maybe it'll grow on me.

Canzone super destabilizzante e devastante da parte dei Massive Attack nel loro album più oscuro di sempre.
Parla di un tema molto importante e sensibile: l'abuso su minori, in questo caso visto dalla parte di colui che sta emettendo l'atto (la frase "keep smiling from me" e il "bite my lips" lo fanno capire).

Ascolta questa canzone finchè vomiti, poi continua ad ascoltarla. Nulla è differente. Nulla è cambiato.
Brividi.

now this is what i wanna hear in a single with multiple remixes, changing the sound completely but not enough to make the original track unrecognisable, Massive Attack does it again, i also liked how some tracks sound like they were inspired from Aphex Twin’s early works, really amazing stuff.
