I have just not spent enough time with that second Television album
I've only recently given it a proper listen and now I think I like it as much as the first. It's slicker and more sentimental than the first album, which turned me off for a while, but there are some really great songs on it.
My favorites at the moment are Days, Ain't that nothing and The Fire.

yeah, that slickness was palpable the couple times I spun it. At the time I think it felt like a step down, but I don't know that I'd feel that way now. I'll give it another whirl this weekend.
YouTube led to me to this live version they played on Conan and it's insanely good, what a tight band:
I'm not a huge Massive Attack head, but that song (and a few others from that early period) are just incredible. Nothing sounded like that at the time.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

love Naked Eye so much!
Have a weird relationship with Massive Attack. It's one of admiration more than enjoyment.
I feel the same way towards Massive Attack other than Teardrop which literally feels like it’s part of me. Funny, I listened to Naked Eye today for the first time in like 20 years and then saw BiH’s post.
