As a self-contained band whose instrumental prowess and interaction is a key part of their sound, the Roots stand to benefit greatly from a live album (another rarity in rap music). Accordingly, COME ALIVE shows off the group’s talents in their best light. The bass and drums are locked in together with a funky spontaneity impossible to obtain from a sample or a loop, and the vocals intermingle freely with the rhythms set up by the band. Some guests show up (Common on “Love of My Life,” Jill Scott on “You Got Me”), but given the rapport the Roots display with their audience, it’s clear that they need no one’s help to make their music travel from the stage to the furthest reaches of the rafters. Rolling Stone (11/25/99, p.104) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - “…creates a charged atmosphere that’s more like a block party or community rally than a concert….[This album] captures that charisma…”Spin (2/00, pp.114-5) - 6 out of 10 - “…splits generous joints among New York City and safe European homes like Zurich and Paris…it’s Welcome to the Hipsterdome…”Entertainment Weekly (11/12/99, p.82) - “…captures the Roots’ onstage sweat and passion. Even better, their indulgent instrumental solos are edited out, and new studio songs are added for good measure.” - Rating: A-CMJ (11/8/99, p.26) - “…unquestionably one of the hottest live acts in hip-hop….does a bang-up job of documenting the experience of being at one of their shows. The album features a variety of tracks that cover the entire span of the band’s career…”Vibe (12/99, p.263) - “…better than any backstage pass….the organic rap troop unconsciously erase the barrier between no-nonsense B-boy anthems…and avant-garde jazz jams…with veteran musicianship…”
