Yeah, this came out when i was 12 so i couldn't really apreciate it. It was just too much for my comprehension at the time but fast forward a few years now i think it's amazing.Quote:

01 : Intro-Don't Rate
02 : One Step ft. Tekitha & Hell Razah- One of the best tracks on the Cd priest is lyrically correct on here, Tekeitha fucked up at the end but it's all good. 4.5/5
03 : Blessed Are Those- I hate this shit the beat is weak not feeling. This track is average, his flow is boring on here. 3.5/5
04 : From Then Till Now- I'm feeling this shit right here Priest flow is on point once again. Y-Kim did a nice job with this one. 4.5/5
05 : Cross My Heart ft. Inspectah Deck & GZA - 2 Best track on the cd Deck and Gza save the day Both have great openin bars. 4.5/5
06 : Fake MC's - He is just talking on here...the beat is nice enough to keep it on though, he is speaking some real but rap. 4/5
07 : It's Over - I'm feeling the beat right here. His flow is shakey right here but its all good. I love how he endfs the song "YOUR CAREER IS NOW FINISHED"! 4/5
08 : Crosaids - Skit
09 : Tai Chi ft. Hell Razah, 60 Second Assassin & Father Lord- OMFG!!!!! 60 Sec. Fucked up this track so fucking bad it dont make sense!! Hell Razah killed his verse..Im zoning out then 60 comes on im like wtf???? shit is so horrible he did the same bullshit on soldiers of darkness....Id rather have holocaust on this track! 3.5/5
10 : Heavy Mental- skit
11 : If You Don't Know ft. Ol' Dirty Bastard- Best fucking song on the cd! O.d.B. (r.I.P.) kills the hook , i was def, feeling this, priest comes correct his flow is great on here no bullshit. 5/5
12 : Atoms To Adam ft. Shangai The Messenger- For some reason I'm feeling this shit. his flow is kinda off but the hook keeps me tuned. 4/5
13 : High Explosives- This shit is ok, I dont know wtf priest is sayin on here for real, weak lines like "Ill run through your kingdom and conquer you" doesnt keep me tuned, the beat does though. 4/5
14 : Wisdom - This is my shit right here, he speaking about women and everything he is nice on the mic. 4.5/5

18 : Science Project ft. Hell Razah- Razah comes correct on the hook. Nice story telling by priest. 4.5/5
19 : Almost There- Flow is off but its still understandable nice track right here. 4/5
20 : The Professional- not feeling this shit at all i skip this shit. 3.5/5
Lyrically 4.5/5
Beats 4/5
Overall .... 4.5/5(BARELY) I cant give this shit 5 stars.It's great but come on this shit is overrated for real. Priest was sayin this shit deserved 5 mics?? Nigga fix ya flow first of all...

Hollow Dartz ur review was pretty on point cept for one thing..
Heavy Mental-skit
and u didnt give a rating....that skit might be the best fuckin thing on this classic album...smokin a blunt to that skit can put u in a different fuckin world. i LOVE that shit..

Overall - 5/5, Its a Wu Classic!!!
man i was in high school when i copped this and some douche stole it out my bag. i had it maybe a week but i bumped it like crazy. it was so different from everything else out at the time, ground breaking stuff.
great album superb lyrics and beats. very dark but enlightened at the same time. favourite line "Im in star mode, with the discipline of Dahmo, I broke the U.S. bar code, Now Im on Allahs road to journey, into the realms of the cosmos" 4.87/5
i love albums like this...Priest is so special....damn
wu-fam really has the most talent
classic, pure, fresh, razorsharp lines
Great Library Album
This is a real nice album but not as nice as Black August his best
look it's a great album, but what impact did it have to qualify it as a classic? there are maybe 20 or so classic hip hop albums in total... no way is heavy mental one of them... 4/5...
Fukin dope.
It is a Wu classic for sure thoQuote:

Still a dope album nonetheless. 8.8/10. Classic Material
Classic...10/10
I give this album 10 out of 10.
And it's honestly debatable that "The Offering" is better then this.

fair enough if you think so, but i think just because wu fans like it doesn't make it a classic album...Quote:

i know people will have a wu list of about 50 albums including forever and ironman, etc but the harsh reality is they aren't classics... for instance forever sold thousands and thousands of copies on the back of the success of 36 chambers, NOT JUST on the quality of the album itself... note how their sales dropped after this album... forever was the beginning of the end of their sales... it had big plans, but didn't have the impact commercially or socially of a genuine classic...
heavy mental falls into this category... a very good, even great conceptual album... one of the best under the wu logo... but far from classic...
a classic album is an album that never gets old for me. ala heavy mental,

I agree the only certified classics are 36 chambers, Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords. The thing that annoys me is people here claimin No Said Date is an all time classic!! Da fuck?!?! Thats good at best and forgettable. Heavy Mental wipes the floor with No Siad Date
I really like this album but the two tracks with Shangai the Messenger I could never really get into.
It's a classic album.... ..... ..
..... ... .... just the way it is
the thing i like about this album, it seemed to have a real focus... it was held down by a nice theme, but didn't have too much repitition... you can't say that about any albums anymore...
I was close to voting for a banger but then I thought about "From Then Till Now" and had to change my vote. This shit is classic. Has another Wu Affiliate released an album even close to the caliber of this shit?? Doubt it.
Classic.. 9.5/10
I like Priest,but I feel that the production could have been a little better and I do like 4th cause he's a good producer. As far as Priest lyrics go...He's probably the deepest out of all of them (Wu-Tang, Killarmy, Sunz of Man) hell, out of all of them brothas, he probably would whip all of their asses in a Bible contest. This is also probably the reason why this CD didn't sell that good, cause he's too good and too deep. These blind, deaf, and dumb people would not understand what he was talking about and it scared them away, although when I listened to him, I thought the shit was dope. Next time Priest, just bring it down a little cause these dummies can't understand you. Other than that, lyrically, I give him a 10!
