This is one very heavy and dark, but very good album. And an album it is, not just a collection of songs. The Roots’ Game Theory plays like a 47 minute hip-hopera with few pauses and nary a cheerful lyric to be heard. Those lyrics keep me from blasting it in the house when the kids are around, but I’ve managed to hear it enough now to know it’s a great record. My favorites are the high speed, slamming “Here I Come” followed closely by “Don’t Feel Right.”
