The Roots Things Fall Apart (3xLP)

Condition: Brand New

• Description
• Release details
• Tracklist

• One of the cornerstone albums of alternative rap’s second wave, Things Fall Apart was the point where the Roots’ tremendous potential finally coalesced into a structured album that maintained its focus from top to bottom.

  If the group sacrifices a little of the unpredictability of its jam sessions, the resulting consistency more than makes up for it, since the record flows from track to track so effortlessly. Taking its title from the Chinua Achebe novel credited with revitalizing African fiction, Things Fall Apart announces its ambition right upfront, and reinforces it in the opening sound collage.
