interesting post, and I respect yr thoughts.
But I also loved "The Seed." I loved Phrenology. That was to me when they got really weird. Like started messing w/ punk, drum-n-bass (which they had done previously on "You Got Me" yeah) and free-jazz on the same album.
You should know how big they were to me growing up though.
Do You Want More I bought the same day as 6 Feet Deep and Southernplayalistic... imagine that day?!
Do You Want More blew my f'ing young mind. SO much so that I hunted down their keyboardist at the time on the young internet and had him help me find the import EP From The Ground Up. So much so that I also I also imported the first printing of Organix before Univeral re-pressed it. So much so that The Roots were the very first concert I ever attended a mere weeks before they dropped Illadelph.
Not trying to "I liked them before..." blah blah. Just telling you how dearly I hold that band, and how much nostalgia prob plays a role. So yeah, all those records, up to and including The Tipping Point are not just like albums I love, they're albums that sort of sound like soundtracks to the year they were released to me. Y'dig?
