In August of 2006 The Roots released their debut album on Def Jam to the usual critical acclaim, and while Game Theory didn't break any sales records it hasn't discouraged the crew from getting back in the studio. Roots drummer and spokesman ?uestlove tells Billboard the album will drop in October of 07 or in February of 08.
It also sounds like we can expect a different feel from the new album. "We are using a lot of synthesizer, but I don't know if I could call this the electronic album or not," ?uest told Billboard. "Pretty much five or six songs are done, and four of them are synth-heavy." The Roots have also recorded an original song, "I Will Not Apologize," based on an old track from Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. "I know somehow I'm going to find the common thread of all this stuff," Thompson offers. "I don't know what to call it, but it's something."
The Game Theory, which has sold a little under 200,000 copies to date, hasn't fazed the drummer one bit, its just the climate of music today.
"Even my president, with a $20 million campaign, has a victory at 1.3 million copies," he said referring to Kingdome Come. "We knew this album was going to have as much to do with the marketplace as Barbra Streisand on the soul charts. But the way I look at it, this is definitely a return to form for us. Critics say we got our mojo back and our fan base agreed. That's really all we were concerned about."
