Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart (1999) more music like this

by The Roots

One of the cornerstone albums of alternative rap's second wave, Things Fall Apart was the point where the Roots' tremendous potential finally coalesced into a structured album that maintained its focus from top to bottom. If the group sacrifices a little of the unpredictability of its jam sessions, the resulting consistency more than makes up for ...

Organix (1993) more music like this

by The Roots

The Roots' low-profile debut set out many of the themes they would employ over the course of their successful career. An intro, "The Roots Is Comin'," is barely over a minute long, yet long enough to exemplify the band's funky bassline (here played by Leonard Hubbard), their dreamy and emotional organ chords (thanks to Scott Storch), and their ...

Do You Want More?!!!??!

Do You Want More?!!!??! (1994) more music like this

by The Roots

Because the Roots were pioneering a new style during the early '90s, the band was forced to draw its own blueprints for its major-label debut album. It's not surprising then, that Do You Want More?!!!??! sounds more like a document of old-school hip-hop than contemporary rap. The album is based on loose grooves and laid-back improvisation, and ...

Illadelph Halflife

Illadelph Halflife (1996) more music like this

by The Roots

For the Roots' second major-label album, the band apparently recognized the weaknesses of the debut, since there are several songs which provide more structure than previous jam-session efforts -- two even became R&B radio hits. But for all its successes, Illadelph Halflife mostly repeats the long-winded jams and loose improvisatory feel that ...

Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots, Vol. 2

Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this

by The Roots

Just like Vol 1., Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots, Vol. 2 suffers from its title's misrepresentation of what's inside. You might understand the poignant groove crew a little better after taking in the two volumes' 160 minutes, but what could have been a tight collection that really benefits the beginner is blown up into ...

Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots, Vol. 1

Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this

by The Roots

With albums that vary greatly in style and purpose, and some of them taking more time than usual to warm up to, getting beginners hooked on the Roots isn't easy (unless you can drag that unsoulful someone to one of their amazing live shows, then it's way easy). With unattractive cover art, a track listing that counts down across two volumes that ...

The Roots Come Alive

The Roots Come Alive (1999) more music like this

by The Roots

Releasing an album recorded live in concert makes more sense for the Roots than any other hip-hop artist, considering they've always concentrated on live prowess over their skills on the mic or in the production booth. The standard guitar/drums/bass/keyboards lineup of most rock bands is a reality for this group, and after years of requests from ...

The Tipping Point [Clean] (2004) more music like this

by The Roots

The delivery of any new Roots album is rarely talked or written about without the words "highly" and "anticipated," and The Tipping Point is no exception. Besides the usual expectation for the band's superior lyrical skills and attention to detail, there's the previously announced concept that The Tipping Point would be recorded through free ...

The Present [Clean] (2005) more music like this

by The Roots

More a spin-off soundtrack to a DVD than an essential live release, The Roots Present is exciting in parts but fails to build the winning momentum The Roots Come Alive did. Of course this is a revue of artists involved with the Roots' Okayplayer.com label/promotion firm, so it's no big surprise the vibes are varied. Every track by the Roots and ...

This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

From the start of the piano-laced "Radio" by the Walkmen, it's obvious that listeners are in for a ride when listening to This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation. That song is followed by "I've Got a Fang," which is new territory for They Might Be Giants. The song is a hard rocker, with John Linnell's vocals noticeably lower than normal. ...

Game Theory [UK Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this

by The Roots

Game Theory is the Roots' equivalent of a Funkadelic playlist containing "Wars of Armageddon," "Cosmic Slop," "Maggot Brain," "March to the Witch's Castle," and "America Eats Its Young." It's a vivid reflector of the times, not an escape hatch (of which there are several readily available options). Spinning turbulence, paranoia, anger, and pain ...
