2873760, The Lesson Revisits: Phrenology (2002)

I thought more people would take part in the TFA revisit, but maybe it shows that it's hard for people to do one of these every single week. Should we space them out more?

This one should be interesting. Easily the most polemic of all The Roots albums and Ahmir has spoken extensively on how and why this album came to be. 12 years after it's release I wonder if people will think it was "ahead of its time" or if it's "trash" how we're going to perceive this one. We're gonna try breaking things up by track and see how it goes doing that.

Two rules:
1. Over the next 7 days give Phrenology 3-5 listens
2. Come back here with your thoughts.
