DO YOU WANT MORE.................."silent treatment"!

I'll probably catch wreck for this, but Tipping Point is still my favourite. Most accessible by a long shot. They're all good records though.

For me, their two top albums are:
Illadelph halflife
Things Fall Apart.
Cla**ics.
Everything b4 that is a bit too jazzy for me, and everything after a bit too experimental.

My Roots initiation started with "Things Fall apart"
Good album.
Read the liner notes and see if you can figure out all the subliminal references (numbered for your convenience)
also ...listen to this album with your headphones cranked up loud.
enjoy.

U should get all of them preferably in chronological order...
-
Illadelph halflife
Things Fall Apart.
Cla**ics.

The liner notes on Roots albums alone make them worth the purchase price.
-
Do You Want More
Illadelph Halflife
Things Fall Apart
Tipping Point
This.
Out of their other works...Phrenology has soft spot in my heart, the Water track for Malik B was supreme work.....

I photocopy them from friends who bought the albums.

apparently iTunes is now selling digital albums packaged with digital artwork and liner notes.
I think Blueprint comes with some "extras" when you buy the whole album on iTunes.
Sounds like a gimmick to me.
Whats it worth to you?
-
I already got the originals
-
illadelph halflife....too dope

those were the only roots album that they remain true to what they brought to the table....as MR C saw it: the rest are experiMENTAL.... they do have one or two dope tracks... but u looking to enjoy the album not certain tracks, as tracks u can always download.....

This means The Roots are live on TV every night!!
(on the other hand they are kind of playing second flute to Jimmy Fallen,... The Roots should have their own show live every night!! ;D ;D ;D )

Do You Want More??!???! tell a frriend

If you go back and/or listen to those albums for the first time, chances are you wont like the entire album. A few songs will stand out from each album. If you wanna have fun with The Roots, check out... Homegrown: The beginners guide to understanding The Roots.
These are collections of their greatest hits.
