| three and a half stars on par with game theory
This album to me is just another replica of game theory but rougher. I do think Black thought has displayed better lyricism skills on this album. I feel though that the roots are losing the sound that i used to love. They have hardened up their sound and it's not chill out music anymore! I think the roughness of game theory was good but not overdone. I think on this album the beats come to hard, and the roots aren't known for this. I wish they will go back to the way they used to sound on songs like you got me, star, and distortion to static. I felt that this album is just game theory part 2 because it sounds kind of similar just more bombastic. It is just as great as the last effort if not a small step down.

| Pure Fire
One of the only groups that are still out there where you can buy without even hearing a track and not be disappointed, because they always deliver the goods, new different gritty sound but still classic Roots from @15 to track with the usual suspects like Malik B/Dice and Mos & Common Talib. Cop it!!

| Ñonceptual Hip Hop Music
This album is the great piece from start to finish! If you are lookin' for hard rhymes, dark beats and some grimy sound you gotta get it. Besides Rising Down is the conceptual album, it refers to the past (skits), present and future. Just to understand read review on allmusic guide which says: "Their message in 2008 so much more relevant: they give context. So when Black Thought says "It is what it is, because of what it was/I did what I did 'cause it does what it does" in "Criminal," he's not just looking as his character's current situation, he's drawing from history, and his conclusions are based upon lifetimes of "it being it" and "doing what it does," of struggling and fighting and trying to get by, to make it however he can." This year I saw twice The Roots live shows, bought this CD and was completely amazed. Highly recommended for true hip-hop fans!

The Roots gotta harder, colder sound, spooky keyboard bleeps, distorted bass and the cracklin' Juice Crew type drums with Black THought, best rapper alive, killin it!!

| So sophisticated
They do it once again. The flow is second to none, the beats are complex, and on point, and there is so much originality on these tracks it's sick. Criminalhotness, 75 Bars, and Rising Up are my favorites. I heard Birthday Girl on myspace, but can't find it on the album. The Roots represent real hip hop, from the soul, and as they've matured they have brought sophistication to hip hop, without losing that edge. I'm listing right now.
