The prices for the reissue (TNT, Millions...) are asinine. Hope another repress is around the corner.

I've recently went back and listened to Tortoise's discography, and I gotta say... TNT is their best, with Millions coming in second. All their other albums made me think, "They should've cut that song," but not those two.

Edited 11 years agoA masterpiece and one which ranks very high in my top ten albums of all time. It feels more like a lifelong friend than it does an album. A stunning collection of work that gives you more with each listen.
