the album was all over the place

it was like a universal tour

wu at their absolute best
gritty dirty sophisticated intelligent enlightening

this album was huge

it belongs in a fine art museum or something

PEACE

i have never heard anything like this album before or since

Agreed!! Very gritty, grimey, rugged, and raw!! Peace to the Gods!

I liked it alot for real...it has more soul than any other Wu album! But there is something missing on the album and I don't like the featurings out of the WU camp! RZA shoulda have continued rhyming on 'GOTTA CHECK OUT THE W' I felt the whole beat and all!..The version they have on Iron Flag dosen't do it for me...'CAUSE RZA IS MISSING!

Amazing,
I can't go to sleep is my favorite wu-tang song.



I love the W, songs like, Hollow Bones, I can't go to sleep, and Jah World are some of my favorite wu tang songs of all time.
I play it more then the pervious two albums, although I'll be the first to tell you that 36 and forever are superior albums

Production side of this album is light years ahead of its time. You need to listen to this album several times over and over to really appreciate the work it is. Damn near classic album, but songs like Conditioner reallllly bring it down. This CD is near classic and probably was one of the best albums of 2000.

not even close to their best in my opinion.

Yeah I hate to break up the W lovefest but I've always been lukewarm on this album.

It has some good songs but nothing I ever get the overwhelming urge to listen to. For the long awaited 3rd Clan album I just expected so much more, especially since Supreme Clientele dropped earlier that year and just blew me away.

I also like Iron Flag better but I won't start that debate up again...

Def. a hott album

its generally a good album. the end.

It was not as cohesive as I expected it would be, but overall above average beats and above average lyrics. It was a good piece of hip hop. But damn how can you be at your best without the Ol' Dirty Bastard's energy. The Wu's best two group albums were the ones that O.D.B. was an intrigal part of, (36 Chambers and Forever).
R.I.P. Dirty.

Nice Album

well Im real glad most people agree:yes:

I'm not going to lie about my opinion about this album, I JUST CAN'T DO IT!
the album sucked, just flat out sucked. there's a couple good tracks on it but the fact that it had so many bad tracks on it is pretty sad considering it's a wu-tang clan album.
the good tracks: chamber music, I can't go to sleep, do you really, and gravel pit.
the rest of the album just sucks in my opinion. and before someone says, "But protect ya neck the jump off is one of the wu singles ever!"... uhh no. the problem with that song is that it starts off with this insane wuxia movie sample so I'm thinking this is going to be hot as hell!... then the tracks starts playing with that "OOH AHH" beat and I'm like "what the fuck is this bullshit!" then I start to listen to it further and relise that none of the wu-tang members seem to know how to rhyme over the track.

Anyways I enjoyed the album after listening to it a few times, its mad underrated IMO. But "Let My Niggas Live" deffinetely aint a classic yo, The nicest tracks are Chambermusik, Carefull (Click Click), Redbull, Hollow Bones, Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off) The Monument and Gravel Pit IMO. I liked Iron Flag better than The W too.

yeah i agree those are the best songs and yeah iron flag was better

i love every song on the album except for maybe conditioner. i like i cant go to sleep because 'walk on by' has arguably the greatest instrumental break ever.

click click omgosh so tight. I like the song after MC Conditioner the one where Gza raps. And the one after the last song think it might be called clap? Whole album is banging. Redman made me laugh with the "I roll through ya hood in an icecream truck and pull a mac outta a box of snow cones. YEAH YOU LITTLE FUCKS! GIMME YA FUCKING MONEY"

^holy Crap Look At The Size Of That Sig!

The W is the bomb its a banger. Bong Bong!

I've gotta say, Redbull is classic, I've been addicted to that over the last few days.

I think this is a pretty good album and I skip over Do You Really and Gravel Pit. Along with Conditioner and possibly Protect Ya Neck they are the only songs on the album I don't like, the rest is nice.

even though the w gets dissed alot i dont care i think the w is an amzin album i love most the tracks an most the beats . yeh oh corse i like 36 chambers and forever more but thats not the point the w is a classic album in my mind .(tracks i skip are conditioner, let my niggas live and jah world)
