Too short, too patchy, Ghostface ruined gunshowers for me, trying to shout instead of rap, having bars that didn't flow, rolling over the beat like a dried up turd down a bumpy hill...
Wu shit bleh
Fuck criminology 2.5
Dangerous, I wasn't feeling....
The rest was dope or at least decent..
It's a 5.5 outta 10 for me. Though the tracks I like were really good.
1. A lot of wack beats ( Our dreams, Gunshowers, I't's that wu shit, Criminology etc.. )Quote:

3. The lack of Raekwon
4. E-mailed verses, no cohésion
5. The last track is horrible, no posse cut to finish
6. The " album" doesn't flow like a real album because it's not a real album
7. Interludes are miserable
8. It's not a "massacre" at all, tracks are mostly soft
etc. etc.
lol I could really care less, I enjoy it and thats all that matters..
Miranda is some dope shit, i love that loop! best song on the LP
Somebody shoot this motherfucker in the fucking head.Quote:

Grade: (4/5) A-
This album is the typical bullshit i couldn't wait to stop listening too. I liked it better the first time i heard it at yolands house.
anything past the W is garbage sorry to say i was such a hard core wu fan but all this new material i can't even stand to listen to all there older work was so original and classic, i could play tracks over and over all day and not get tired of them, they would hype me up. but now even 3 seconds of any of the new shit I'm like wat the fuck is this? I just think that from 36 to cuban linx to return to the 36 to wu forever was just the era that would never happen again the music was so great and thriving. I just don't think i will ever buy another wu cd again anybody feel the same way?
So you signed up to say this? If you don't like the new shit then don't listen to it. Plain & Simple no disrespect intended..Quote:

with all that said, i hope the trio can put together a more consistent, thought-out record if they come out with a sequel, it would definitely be worth it...a high-octane album from meth ghost & rae would be insane. meanwhile, i'll be enjoying the massacre...
"why is everyone saying the RZA track our dreams is wack? again, for what it is it's ill...laid-back melodic track with all 3 MCs kickin smooth lyrics"
Because it is, not feelin the MJ sample and the transition is horrible and its coming from the RZA of all people. I cant even believe he was making Our Dreams originally for the 6th Wu album
to each his own i guess...i'm def feelin that track simply from an organic standpoint...i know that in this super-digital age of hip-hop there's an expectation that production has to be technically advanced to be impressive...RZA didnt come up with an orchestra for that track, he just put something simple together, which i think is effective...i'm diggin the MJ sample too

Im mad gratful for them years all them classics WU dropped.... and Im happy there still puttin out real HipHop today.... I mean WU been droppin real raw HipHop for almost 20 years yamean!!!!!
Rza did a nice job with "our dreams" I don't see how people frontin on that track or anything off the "Wu Massacre".... for them to still be puttin out quality HipHop in 2010 is a bonus 4real!!!!!!!!
Played this album more than anything from the wu in the last few years except maybe Chamber Music.
Some really good tunes on it, and i can play it through all the way every time.
It's a bit of shame it wasn't extended by a couple of tracks, but then again, maybe that would have ruined the consistency of the album.
8/10 or Wu Banga i guess.

Also, the production ranges from good to awful, and there are really no standout cuts from a production standpoint with the possible exception of 'it's that wu shit'.Quote:

3/5---good
^^^stop pretending you like Wu-Tang
^lol...so sad.
The Wu-Massacre isn't even an album where you "need" to skip around a lot. It's a half hour. Are you saying that your attention span is that short, that you can't make it through a lousy half hour? Yea, I'm the pathetic one. Go read a comic book you fairy.
^^you're pathetic for reasons that are completely obvious to anyone that's read your posts.
I explained that I feel there are some tracks that I've grown bored with and skip now. Your insults are trite and boring.
I'm sorry that it hurts your feelings that I don't give every wu-tang song 5/5. I really wish you weren't so weak mentally and emotionally, but we should both just accept it and move on.
Every time you respond you assume that I am somehow emotionally affected by you. Freud would say that makes you the emotional one. Look how fast you become hostile and resort to corny old internet tactics. I'm just pointing out the obvious here. The songs are 3 minutes long. Just let the shit run kid.
^^^lol
i implore you not to turn this thread into an unreadable trainwreck filled with increasingly unfunny insults like you normally do. think of the children.
to keep it on topic: what did you think of the album, huh? loved it, right? 30 minutes of uncut raw pumping through your speakers, yeah?
At least i bothered to listen to it.

real dope little mini-album that i've been playing quite alot recently. the artwork and promotion for the LP is nothing short of incredible but the music does sound rushed. 30 minutes (including 2 skits) from the first collaborative effort from the 3 most prolific members in Wu-Tang Clan is way too short no matter what some stans will have you believe. especially since they easily could've filled it out with "Made Men", "Our Dreams (Remix)" and the original "Criminology 2.5".
still there's plenty of good material on here to satisfie us Wu headz, shit bangs hard all the way through. Allah Mathematic's deliver some of his best beats in a long, long while imo.. it might be like 5 years since he impressed me b4 this lol. Rae should have been on this alot more too but Ghost and Method Man holds this shit down NICE. it's hard to pick the MVP between them.
7.5/10
8/10. has more many more ups than downs. been playing the album almost every day since it came out. wu banga for sure!
wu banga! 8+/10
9th person to vote masterpiece here
Just copped my wax today.I didnt get the cover I wanted but once I opened the album I wasnt even trippin. I got a full size copy of each individual cover as a pack-in. some comic strip is on the page that has the credits. Vinyl feels almost 180 grams. Sounds great compared to the mp3 leak I been bumpin till now.
I dont care what anybody says this is an ILL WU product!!!! Well worth the money spent. I almost didnt wanna take it out the plastic.
I gave it a couple of listens definitely a Wu banger. But it felt like Meth and Ghost outshined Rae throughout the whole album.
