I'm a fan of "Things Fall Apart", "Illadelph Halflife" was a classic, but sounded like a psuedo Tribe Called Quest. They didn't truly reach their voice until "Things Fall Apart" Just my opinion though...

Anditsdeeptoo,
Yeah there's a track on "Things fall Apart" called "adrenaline" which is dope. What's the name of the Roots album which has the track "Silent Treatment" on it? That's probably my favorite Roots track. I can see the album in my head, it has a blue cover and a title like "Do you want more" or something like that.
Peace gee
