Why does Massive Attack's 'Blue Lines' still kick ass!

As i sit here and get my daily dose of 'pro audio porn'. thats what these sites are too me!

I am listening to Massive Attack's 'Blue Line's'
It still floors me that this album still sounds so fresh and contemporary given that it is over 10yrs old now.

Great production and performances.. simply top shelf!

Mixing - where do yu start ?

Novice mixer, just getting into it. I've messed around and ended up doing things all sorts of different ways, coming to no firm conclusion on what is the best approach.

How would you guys (and gals) approach mixing the average 4 or 5 piece rock band. Do you do, say, do the drum kit first, the vox, etc, and what base level do you start from ?
