Rock n' Roll Doggie ALL ACCESS
Okay, so I've lived in Philly for a year, had a few Roots tracks on my computer for years, but never really gave them much of a listen. Naturally, after seeing them live on Saturday at Welcome America, I am quite intrigued. I obtained their two "big" albums, Things Fall Apart and Phrenology and am really enjoying them. Once I have a job again, I'll actually purchase them, but for now, I'm just wondering what else I should obtain.
I understand that a lot of people recommend Illadelph Halflife, and that few people recommend Tipping Point. What about the other albums? Especially Rising Down and Game Theory, both of which are at the library two blocks away.
Also, of their two most successful albums, which do people prefer? I thought it would be Phrenology for me, but I've really fallen in love with Things Fall Apart. It has a sustained and consistent quality I rarely see in rap albums, but the later album is probably more sonically daring.
