Following the huge success of How I Got Over, The Roots have released news that their next album will be their first true concept album and it will be coming on 6th December, 2011. Having listened to The Roots for years, we know that every chance we get to hear the production and more especially Black Thought over ?uestlove's arrangements make our taste buds go into overdrive. This release should be no different.
What do you think to it being a a concept album? Hyped? Chime in!!
Props Lou, here's the Artwork and Tracklist:
01. Sleep
02. Make My (feat. Big K.R.I.T.)
03. One Time
04. Kool On
05. The Jump
06. Stomp
07. Lighthouse
08. I Remember
09. Tip the Scale
10. Redford
Hyped!

The Undun??? What could it be??? I was wondering as well; the 'How I Got Over' theme was well thought out, but this must be a complete concept album if that wasn't.
It's interesting though and I'm excited for the same reasons… just to hear Black Thought is amazing though. -

They should go for the concept 100% whatever it is, just go for a all out Cinematic experience, make it the most obvious concept album ever, im thinking on the lines of Deltron 3030 or Long Hot Summer. -

Yeah, I think concept albums like that are mind-bogglingly good; but it's very difficult to follow the two mentioned tracks that you dropped. Pretty sure they'll smash Nicolay & Kay's Time:Line though and I don't see why it couldn't be as good as ALHS and 3030, it's just that they're two of the greatest albums ever!! -
HIGO has become my accompanying piece in this very troubled times

Can't wait.....

A Long Hot Summer is THE concept album, the album was just wayyyy too polished for its own good, greatest skits of all time to go with it too.
Ace is flawless… hoping that he drops his new 'ish soon. -
can't wait...

The Roots are the ONLY Hip Hop act I check for religiously.
I kinda feel like Things Fall Apart and Phrenology were concept records. It'll be interesting to see what they do with this. -

That's why it's really interesting, because arguably 'How I Got Over' also had a theme, so they must be going all out with the concept! -
Will be looking forward to this. I hope they can follow up How I got Over!

Most definitely, I think they can as well… they're always at the top of their game and Black Thought will be creative on a concept record… I can imagine anyway. -
Roots albums are always good if not great. Looking forward to this one.

Seems to be making its circuit on the blogs now, I can't see how this album won't be great, amazing to hear Thought again; has to be up there with the all time greats. I anticipate a release from him more so than I do Nas. -

I want there to be more features. While how i got over had a lot of features, they were all dope imo. -
WOAHHHHH!!! Front cover is dope! Not that I'm surprised, I think they choose the best front covers, period!!
K.R.I.T's getting a lot of features, strange that he was boo'd off in NY.
I wanted another Blu collab, he suited the production of How I Got Over perfectly and he was able to keep up with Black Thought too. -
that's a sick album cover. i will go out and buy this cd
