Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Collected' was released in 2006, Massive Attack had already established themselves as pioneers of the trip hop genre with seminal albums like 'Blue Lines' (1991) and 'Mezzanine' (1998). This compilation album serves as a retrospective of their influential sound and includes tracks from various stages of their career, marking a moment of reflection after a five-year hiatus since their last studio album, '100th Window'.
