twelvetwenty Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I was always a Do You Want More fan but I have friends who swear by Things Fall Apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidenradio Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I also recently starting getting into The Roots and although I was told by someone on this board that Phrenology was their best album, so far my favorite is Things Fall Apart. Still haven't picked up Do You Want More, Illadelph Halflife, Tipping Point, or How I Got Over tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 things fall apart is their best record. it is also probably one of the top 20 hip hop lp's of all time. organix, do you want more, and illadelph halflife are all awesome as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidenradio Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh and The Roots Come Alive is an amazing live album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Such a tight band. Those guys play their instruments better than 75% of their peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 start with their first two albums and go from there. their first two were all i ever heard as a youngster, but i remember liking them. i also seem to remember the track numbers continuing on the second album, like the first album had 15 songs or something, and the first track on the second album was numbered track 16, and so on. i wonder if they kept up with this.

Guest kingbuzzo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The only three I care for are Do You Want More?!!!??!, Illadelph Halflife and Things Fall Apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 dwwweehhhh...self correction here. according to wikipedia they had a self released debut i didn't know about. "do you want more?" and "illadelph halflife" are the two i was referring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydeftones Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have a soft spot for Phrenology but as a complete album Things Fall Apart is the best. Whenever they release something new I go on a sizable Roots kick, their latest album did not disappoint and brought on a 3 month love affair with the group.
