That a lot of these songs can't really stand on its own when you play them outside of the context of the album. "When the People Cheer" "Black Rock" "Understand" and mayybee "Tomorrow" (which doesn't feel like a Roots song cuz of the lack of BT) are the only songs that can be played outside of the context of the album. I know they were going for a narrative/ concept album. But great concept albums also feature great songs that still sound good when you play the songs at random. Undun is a great example of that, for example.
