Solid Def Jam debut from some of Philly's finest. I like the idea of "stealing the album" plastered on the cover down to when Black Thought quotes the cover art on the wax. At this time this album was released I was watching people steal CD's running from mall security, not knowing a few years later I would be doing the same thing. The game on "Game Theory" would have been worth every month of probation I ever had in my juvenile offender youth, had I decided to push play on it some 15 years earlier.

Edited 18 years agoG-R-E-A-T release by The Roots, probably the record they were trying to do since 'Phrenology' and without any of the dull moments that made 'The Tipping Point' such and unfocused, so-so effort. Long time past the boundaries of Hip Hop, 'Game Theory' blends the social consciousness of all their previous efforts with an approach that has more in common with Funkadelic than, say, Beastie Boys. Soulful and joyful, it delivers the funk, soul, rock and everything in between, showing an incredible amount of talent, musicianship and production skills wether to build hard hitting rants or intimate atmospheres. And the rhymes are ace too! Fantastic, a must
