Two things

1)as long as you dug it, that should be all that matters. The Roots are in a very good place in spite of their lackluster album sales. In 2012, it's not about the 1988 version of "winning".

2)they're deep n their catalog and will be treated as such. Think of Neil Young. Dude has been consistent for years and will sell the same amount of records no matter what. But he still delivers quality product (IMHO).
