It definitely hovers around the #1/2 spot for me in terms of favorite Roots albums.

Funny that although it often gets lumped in as one of the cornerstones of the neo-soul sound, it doesn't really sound like that all too much.

The last hurrah for Malik B. He definitely kills it throughout, as does Thought.

That secret track. Man. Shit is hard as fuck.

Definitely the last of its kind. I think for many, the Roots' catalog is split between pre-TFA and post-TFA. And not just because it was their breakthrough.

After revisiting this, it's actually BETTER than I remembered.
