VerticalInvader's TOP ALBUMS

“THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST ROOTS ALBUMS I'VE HEARD IN A WHILE. I'M A HUGE ROOTS FAN AND I OWN EVERY BIT AND PIECE OF MATERIAL THEY'VE PUT OUT THERE. MY FAVORITE ROOTS ALBUM BESIDES THIS ONE IS PROBABLY ILLADELPH HALFELIFE. I LOVE THE RISING DOWN ALBUM I THINK IT GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING THE ROOTS HAVE TO OFFER AS FAR AS LYRICL SKILL, CONTENT AND MUSICIANSHIP. I LOVE THE DARK TONES AND THE OVER ALL CONTENT OF THE ALBUM. I THINK THE ROOTS HAVE BEEN DYING TO DO AN ALBUM LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME. BLACKTHOUGHT'S SKILLFUL LYRICISM HAS REACHED NEW CONCIOUSNESS THAT I THINK PUTS HIM A LEVEL HIGHER THAN HES EVER BEEN. I LOVE THE PARTICIPATION OF ALL THE FEATURED ARTIST ON THIS ALBUM. I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU DO A SONG WITH THE ROOTS, YOU BECOME A PART OF THE ROOTS. THUS BEING SAID THEY'RE DELIVERIES DONT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE BAND, BUT ONLY ENHANCES THE OVERALL DIRECTION AND PURPOSE OF THE ALUBUM UNDER A STRONG UNITY OF ARTIST WHO SHARE THE SAME PAIN. ANOTHER THING I LOVE ABOUT THE ROOTS IS THAT NO ALBUM SOUNDS THE SAME. I DONT WANNA HEAR ANOTHER THINGS FALL APART OR DO YOU WANT MORE, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE BOTH AMAZING ALBUMS.I LOVE HOW THIS IS A NEW ROOTS ALBUM WITH A NEW ROOTS SOUND WITH ALL THE ROOTS SENSEABILITIES BUT BEING UTILIZED IN A DIFFERENT WAY.ITS ALBUMS LIKE THIS THAT HAS SOLIDIFIED THEROOTS PLACE AND LEVEL IN THE GAME. ITS ALBUMS LIKE THIS THAT MAKE THE ROOTS MORE THAN JUST A RAP GROUP OR BAND”
