Things Fall Apart
“Things Fall Apart was a turning point for the Roots, the record where they figured out what kind of band they could be. Both its themes and its eclectic mix of sounds resonate in the current moment.”
Do You Want More?!!!??!
“The singular hip-hop band’s second album is a story about America and Philadelphia, memory and survival. Like a good book, it goes by quickly, yet you force yourself to linger.”
How I Got Over
“The Roots' latest is also their leanest and most stylistically cohesive LP to date. Guests include Joanna Newsom, Dirty Projectors, Phonte, Blu, and Jim James.”
