Massive Attack: Brixton Academy, London
Nick Hasted, Independent, The, 12 July 2004
MASSIVE ATTACK have been shaken almost to pieces in recent times. First, one of their central trio – Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles – left for good, then Grant "Daddy G" Marshall absented himself from the studio, leaving Robert "3D" Del Naja to assemble the first average Massive album, last year's 100th Window.
