| | The Roots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The album earned enough industry buzz to earn the Roots offers from major record labels, and they signed with DGC records, which at the time was better known for its grunge music releases. | | | The Roots' debut album, Organix, was actually a live recording from a concert in Germany that the Roots sold at their shows. | | | The album's sales were boosted by radio and TV airplay for two duets on the album, "Break U Off" (featuring Musiq Soulchild) and "The Seed 2.0" (featuring Cody ChestnuTT). |

| | Sound Opinions Message Board -> Should I hear the new Roots album? |
| | As a non-Roots-fan, this album was sorta dick. | | | This album was supposed to be The Roots "taking it back to basics" and while it doesn't have the sound of Do You Want More, it does have a certain "golden age" quality about it, featuring perhaps their most simple and barebones production yet. | | | This album is essentially the exact opposite of Phrenology. |

| | Second listen - wow - you realise this is an amazing album. | | | album was a calculated risk, but the tipping point album is tipical evelotion of the tipe of style they first tride on phreno. | | | This album sucked more than phrenology, which sucked way more than Roots Comes Live, which was a mix of most of their best songs and probably the last best album they released, which was 5 to 6 years ago. |

| | CUBAN ROOTS |
| | While inspired by legndary recordings of the past this album is firmly rooted in the present. | | | Back in 1967 an album was produced by Al Santiago for Musicor Records that has influenced countless musicians since. | | | In the midst of recording it became obvious that the new Cuban Roots project was capable of turning out a heavy album, an album equally as impressive as the inspirational "Cuban Roots" from 32 years ago. |

| | Album after album of excellence finds the lead emcee Black Thought spitting his poetic and descriptive lyrics and the Roots band pumping out some of the best beats and live instrumentals known to mankind, there's really nothing left for the band to do. | | | The funny thing is that being so simple in crafting an album could perhaps be percieved as a concept in itself, because it's certainly breaking the norm of most of their previous work, as well as other artists. | | | Perhaps the most old-schoolish song on this entire album is "Stay Cool". |

| | It wasn't that I felt bad being so critical of the album: though I respect that others enjoyed the album, I found it to be disappointing (to say the least) and quite simply put: the worst album the Roots have ever produced. | | | For the first time in their long career, the Roots turn out less a cohesive album and more a collection of tracks in which nothing much makes sense: not the sequencing, not the concept, and definitely not the song selection. | | | Even when the album wobbled, Phrenology suggested that the Roots were daring enough to try and fail—their boldness was the LP's strongest statement. |

| | Listening to this album, it's truly amazing that a studio band has this much songwriting talent. | | | Roots Radics return with another bona fide great album, featuring songs that aren't classics but that are consistently good enough to form a strong package. | | | Surprisingly, the band's music isn't necessarily the best part of this album (although it is quite good); rather, Pinkney's and Lamont's well-crafted melodies drive the material. |

| | The Roots: Phrenology (2002): Reviews |
| | Phrenology is the hardest-hitting Roots album to date, partly because it's their most successful attempt to re-create their concert punch in the studio. | | | The album combines a deep reverence for rap's visceral power with a desire to move the genre beyond its primordial synthesis of beats and rhymes. | | | I heard "the Seed," got the album and an education with it. |

| | The Roots: The Tipping Point - PopMatters Music Review |
| | By weaving Sly and The Family Stone into the first track, "Star/Pointro", The Roots reveal a pining for the soul records of a bygone era, the kind of music that attempted to start a party and change a few minds, both infectious and exerted in the same stroke. | | | After all, the more consequential music is, the more important the people who "explain" it to you become. | | | In terms of their own oeuvre, it's certainly a solid addition, even if it suffers from the molting pain that comes from incorporating music that's so stylistically against their own grain. |

| | Lennon v. Levy -- The "Roots" Lawsuit |
| | There was no gross fraud, as the album was a set of performances by Lennon, even though the album erroneously claims that Lennon authorized the release. | | | The album "Imagine," Lennon's best seller to date (sales in 1975 of over 1.5 million) and his three worst-selling albums, "Two Virgins," "Unfinished Music No. Two: Life with the Lions," and "Wedding Album" (each of which sold between 20,000 and 50,000 copies) were all disregarded, presumably as aberrations. | | | Following the meeting, Lennon made statements to friends that he was making an album for Levy and in mid-November, gave Levy some rough tapes of the songs he intended to include on the oldies album. |

| | Listening to this album, nobody can be in any doubt that this is, at its heart, traditional folk music, even if it is updated slightly to appeal to listeners in the new millennium. | | | Although one of the themes of the album is Englishness there are, as she says, no border controls and one of the songs, In London So Fair, comes from the Irish singer Mary Ann Carolan, while some of the album was recorded in Edinburgh. | | | Although academically rooted in the traditional music of the British Isles (Mum and Dad, need it be reiterated, are Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy) ace fiddler and folk starlet Eliza Carthy describes Anglicana as "an expression of Englishness as I feel it". |

| | After that album became a success, especially considering the fact that their previous albums hadn't sold that well, The Roots felt alienated from all of their new fans. | | | There are definitely some truly great moments here: the album opens with near-magic on "Star," a mesmerizing song that is one of the finest of the group's career, and Black Thought is a one-man tour de force on "Boom!" where he mimics Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap down to their velour sweats. | | | On their sixth album, the Roots backslide a bit on the creative promise they showed with 2002's Phrenology. |

| | Like those before it, this Roots album is defined by the bevy of tracks that require multiple listens, but two immediate head-nodders stand out. | | | As on illadelph halflife, the choice of guests reveals their ability to define entirely new sounds strictly by their own interpretations of classic methods, from their use of Philly native Schooly D's old-school "Saturday Night" beat on "Without a Doubt" to the vintage scratching of DJ Jazzy Jeff atop choir vocals on "The Next Movement." | | | A lot has changed for The Roots since the street corner freestyle sessions of the late 80s, but the absolutely insatiable appetite they have for hip hop remains the foundation of their fourth album. |
