Only thing I dont agree on is the hooks. I agree that their hooks can lack sometimes, but I don't think they do here.

Another thing about the number of black thought appearances is there are a shit load of interlude type transitions which sort of contributes to the 'wheres bt' theme... but I think that many interlude type transitions adds to the flow of the album.

I also agree that while I really like undun, this is maybe done better... and thats not to take anything away from undun, because that is also a very good album.

Game Theory is my favorite Roots album, but this is my favorite album since then and this could be argued to be their most artsy.
