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.

The liner notes on Roots albums alone make them worth the purchase price.

This.

Out of their other works...Phrenology has soft spot in my heart, the Water track for Malik B was supreme work.....

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?
