Review: The Roots - undun

By , About.com GuideDecember 12, 2011

Follow me on:

It's short. It's dark. It's backwards. But enough about Snooki. The Roots' latest, undun, is a 30-minute narrative about a man who dies in reverse. So like any critic in his right mind, I decided to review the album in reverse. Here's my take on undun.

love the review, but what about the album detracts it from a higher rating?

little big man – The doomed hustler tale is an all too familiar one and the narrative as a whole feels underdeveloped.

I’ll second that. I just felt like it needed more unique/interesting details.
