"*raises hand* Um, isn't The Roots' best album illadelph halflife?"


  

          

So uh....not sure when's the last time someone did this post, but how do you rank The Roots' albums?

illadelph halflife
Game Theory
Things Fall Apart
Phrenology
Do You Want More?!?!?
undun
How I Got Over
Rising Down
Tipping Point
Organix

I *think* that's how I rank them. Admittedly, illadelph and Game Theory are the only ones still in my rotation regularly, but I probably need to go back and listen to TFA again.

undun is kinda new to me, so the rankings may change. I am pretty sure I gave Rising Down more burn than How I Got Over, mainly due to "Criminal," but also that HIGO had more better songs.

I don't listen to TP or Organix because I value my listening time and they don't add up for me. What's fascinating is that they're at completely different ends of the production spectrum, yet have the same value to me.
