My new favorite album of the year? Maybe. It’s definitely the tightest and yet most complex Roots album yet, and an album that really understands at the crisis at the heart of cities like Philadelphia, where everyone’s talking about the city’s “comeback” as a great American city, the same time that the murder rate’s on the rise and so many of the city’s residents are struggling to pay the bills.
The Office Season 2 DVD
Better than season 1, and better than the UK show, I’ll say even though I know it’s blasphemy. I can’t think of a sitcom with this much emotion behind the jokes, or with this many funny moments (and subtle ones, even).
Still enjoying this. Everyone’s raving about it, and this time I agree. I like it better than his last two albums, even.
I keep playing this too – a really beautiful jump off the edge of reason.
I keep finding so much to love about this album, starting right with the first track, where Masta Killa lets his son and nephews rap, and they kill it, making me imagine a next-generation Wu-Tang Clan in the future.
So much to love about this, too…is it the consistency of mood that’s making people not rave about this as much as they did The Sunset Tree? Cause to me this is so much better, their best album yet by far.
Just getting into this remix album, but it sounds absolutely brilliant so far.
This is an interesting remix album too, two discs of remixes, many of them fresh-sounding without clouding over the heart of the songs.
A very strange book (so far), from a rather strange critic, who’s been watching Nicole Kidman movies with a careful, loving eye, thinking obsessively over what each look, each move, each performance says about her as an actor, about him as a movie-watcher, and about what actors mean to movie-goers.
This album title never struck me as funny, just odd, until I heard an NPR announcer say it, in his serious NPR voice, and it immediately turned hilarious.
