I started to write a long-winded treatise delineating my tumultuous relationship with The Roots and their music but I’ve decided instead to just kick it USA Today style and keep things short and saccarhine. I’m a big fan of Things Fall Apart. I liked a few tracks on Phrenology. And then The Tipping Point put me in such a vegetative state that, probably unfairly, I didn’t even bother with Game Theory (although, like Savannah in the springtime, I hear it’s lovely). But I’m feeling their new album Rising Down. Granted, I’ve only listened to the first couple tracks, but they had me at “I’m kinda like W.E.B. DuBois meets Heavy D and the Boyz.”
That’s it. That’s all. Thanks for sharing.
