- Rising Down
I was not dissapointed with release. It is great addition to my music collection.
Rating:
- Not the best of but still very very High quality
This is my fourth Roots purchase. Although I still believe Phrenology is their best work. This is still far above the norm and Black Thought is by far the most underrated MC of recent time
Rating:
- it's kinda cool
THE ROOTS ARE USUALLY PRETTY DEEP BUT THIS ALBUM IS JUST REPETITIVE WITH SONGS THAT SEEM TO COPY WHATS ON THE RADIO AND ALOT OF KAOS END OF THE WORLD TYPE HYSTERIA. CANT GET INTO IT FOR TOO LONG, ITS A ROOT ALRIGHT LIKE AN ONION!

- title explains it all
I think the title explains where this group is headed - DOWN! Believe me when I say I know better music. I have been a manager of a major LA radio station for 4 years and let me tell you if you want to hear some great music you must correct your attention to Lil Shine and his new album "Money is my Motivation"...it's hot DO IT
Rating: - It's Criminal they're not huge!!!
I became a fan of the Roots in 1999 when I heard the song they did with Erykah Badu, the grammy winning top 40 hit "You got me". That made me seek out and get the album it came from, "Things fall apart" (title taken from Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe's novel of the same title) and I've been hooked ever since.
They've always been different from most Hip hop groups in their use of live instrumentation and lyrics far from the bling bling/rump shaking variety. I guess this is why they haven't hit it big as other Hip hop/R&B acts have done.
The Nigerian connection continues on their latest album, "Rising down". The horn peppered cut "I will not apologize" features an Afrobeat rhythm, sounding very much like the band has musical backing from Fela Kuti's Africa 80 band.
"Criminal" is another outstanding cut, haunting and morose, as is the lovely "Singing man". Other brilliant cuts are "The show" (with pseudo marching beats and a buzzing riff and also featuring Common), the Jazzy "Rising up" featuring Chrisette Michele (her Jazzy phrasing sounding very much like Erykah Badu) and Wale (the Nigerian connection again), and the sixties Pop feel of "Birthday girl".
I must admit, I didn't find this album as immediate as their last release "Game theory", but as usual, The Roots can do no wrong. Thoughtful and outstanding!
