Here I Come: "Game Theory" Released Today!


That's right--it's GA Hill's every couple of years holiday. The Roots brilliant album, "Game Theory," dropped today (that was for you, npgage).

I know that I got pretty wound up about "The Tipping Point" a while back, and get wound up about anything The Roots release. That said, it is not just me talking about this album. Here is a small sampling of reviews that have come in about "Game Theory" the past couple of weeks:

-USA Today: @@@@ out of @@@@
-XXL Magazine: XL out of XXL
-AllMusic.com: @@@@.5 out of @@@@@
-The Guardian (UK): "This is The Roots best yet..."
-Maxim Online: @@@@ out of @@@@@
-Billboard.com: "...a hands down winner."
-Amazon.com: "...a remarkable achievement in record making."
-The Times (London): @@@@@ out of @@@@@
-Vibe: @@@@ out of @@@@
-Entertainment Weekly: A-
-Scratch Magazine: @@@@.5 out of @@@@@
-Stylus Magazine (who??): A
-allhiphop.com: @@@@.5 out of @@@@@
-Blender: @@@@ out of @@@@@ ("Whatever style The Roots take on their eighth album...they do better than anyone else in pop.")
-Rolling Stone: @@@.5 out of @@@@@. Rolling Stone: losing any and all credibility they've ever had since 2004.

So, as you can see, it is not just me. This is an incredible album. I implore every Heavy Souler to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE go cop this album.

Support good music!

Comments:
why would we send the cops to take this album?
 
Having Republicans telling me to "cop" anything is frightening.

Seriously, is it possible to be a white dude and talk about rap music without sounding contrived?
 
How can I cop it, I still need to figure out how to drop an album first.
 
cop

tr.v., copped, cop·ping, cops.
To take unlawfully or without permission; steal. See synonyms at steal.

To get hold of; gain or win: a show that copped four awards; copped a ticket to the game.
To take or catch: “Johnny copped a quick feel of Jane's bosom at the rec-center dance..."

Interesting that the very word used for the noun form for police officer is stealing in the verb form...
