@jgibbs how is the sound quality on that? I've been tempted to grab it but the fact that its a boot has kept me from pulling the trigger.

I don't know how many y'all may be sleeping on this, I know I've seen Texas and a couple others post props....but seriously now. This may just be one of the best soundtrack album listens I've had of the past 5 years or so.
I knew I was gonna dig it because I love love loved the show, and payed full fuckin attention to every damn cue as it was layed in. My only concern as an LP was that as they're used in the show the cues are often really short - punchy, perfectly dropped, and powerful, but very short. It's actually one of the signatures of the show that I really picked up on and liked a lot - the use of individual little 'stinger' themes that lead you through the different character's stories. But how would this work as a (double LP) listen?
No fear home slices, this record packs a huge punch and the sheer breadth of scoring and musicianship on display by Younge & Shaheed Muhammad and their orchestra is a truly joyous thing. It feeds from Lalo Schiffrin, heavily lays in some David Axelrod, brings us right up through RZA/Wu Tang, all dashed with sweet soul and OG funk stylings (not to mention spaghetti western and chop-sockey feels!)...fuck, there's even some Fantastic Planet in the mix! Damn - just on that basis, this score feels like it was drawn straight from my cerebral cortex/pleasure receptors and gives me the goods non-stop.
After the 2nd listen, I'd already separated the music score from it's origins and it's inspiring original thoughts and reactions in me - everything I want from a film album!
At the risk of over-selling this...I'm just gonna have to use a word that I genuinely reserve for rare occasions: ESSENTIAL.
