The Roots - The Tipping Point


Anyone else check this out yet? Thoughts?

Just got it, and am playing it now... so far, so funky!

I am looking forward to listening to it this weekend, despite Pitchfork's nasty review. I don't know why I even bother reading their reviews, I so rarely agree with them anyway.

It's great--I love track two best so far. It must be the single.

And do you hear that that trumpet riff in "Stay Cool" sounds a lot like "Birdhouse In Your Soul?"

Whoa it does!

I'm really digging the two short ones in the middle, tracks 7 and 8. Or is it 6 and 7? I forget, and the disc is in the car. "Web" and "Boom!" Those are great, ?uestlove's drumming on "Web" is hypnotic.

Also the first hidden track with Dave Chappelle is a blast.
