[Album Stream] WU-TANG CLAN "A BETTER TOMORROW"

Second Listen

bumping the album on my speakers now. It bangs for sure. Really nice mix.


Ruckus In B Minor goes hard since I first heard it. Stand out track.

Felt is a really dope beat, great track.

Mathematics rhythm is off on 40th St. That snare doesn't fit that beat. It falls flat. Not a very good overall track.

Mistaken Identity is a jewel. They all went hard. One of Capps best verses. Who's that street life on the hook? And U God is on his A game here. Hella job on the beat RZA.

Hold the heater is the second track that I'm not crazy about. Beat is average. RZA played around with that synth too much. I was wrong about U God on my first listen, he actually sounds good on this. This track is nothing special.

Crushed Egos is magic. Raekwon = MVP (Kevin Durant Meme) nice touch by RZA, interesting to hear them both share this track.

Keep watch goes hard. Nice beat by Mathematics. I like the hook on it. Method Man destroys this. And GZA sounds the best he does on the whole album.

Miracle starts off corny, but it comes together nicely. Monster track. Raekwon again!

Preachers Daughter overall good song.

Pioneer the Frontier. Another top track. Nice work by RZA. Vintage Wu shit.

Necklace same as above.

Ron Oneal I like the beat, but the hook falls flat. Nice job by Meth

A better Tomorrow. I really like this. Thoughtful rhymes. Nice beat, and the sample was used very well. Feel good track.

Never Let Go is filler to me, nothing special. Did you god say when I'm in jail never let go of the soap?!? Ahahahahn

Wu tang Reunion I always enjoyed since it came out. Great beat, great lyrics. Ghostface sold the show there.

Overall after second listen I like it.

Again Cappa wasn't very impressive, but he did okay on some songs. Rae on more of these tracks, with some harder less experimental beats would have been awesome.

I did not like 2 songs. 40th st, Hold the heater

1 song was so so... Never let go.

I loved

Ruckus in B Minor
Felt
Mistaken Identity
Crushed Egos
Miracle
Pioneer the frontier
Necklace
Wutang Reunion

The others were all good. No complaint.



4/5 Rating

"Ruckus in B minor" I give 8/10 and 8/10 to beat MC's
"Felt" after the fifth listen I give 8/10 and 8/10 to beat MC's
"40th street black" I do not understand what the beat !! I give 4/10 and 6/10 MC's
"Mistaken Identity" wu Bangah !!
"hold the heater" beat MC's 7/10 6/10
"crushed egos" the beat is really bad and boring but Rae 4/10 9/10
"keep watch" I hearts that beat 8/10 piece and members
"miracle" bang bang wu Bangah prod is beautiful this piece crushes serious
"preacher's daughter" good atmosphere on piece I love the beat is crazy 9/10 and 8/10 beat to members
"pioneer the fronter" I still do not know what to think of that song! let's say average
"necklace" wu Bangah sick beat 4th thx !!
"Ron o'neal" good song !!
"A better tomorow" I like good atmosphere 8:10
"never let go" good song
"Wu-tang reunion"

how to say good after several listening this album is not bad, I did not think that it would be produced with the time orchestra. RZA sometimes abuse this level. c is much better than 8 diagrams but it will not be a top album.
go 4 stars for this album !!

Cappadonna tired in the long run this is not fucking album are !! I would have preferred the RZA and not an orchestra or some sort of Bobby Digital.
for their last album together we will say that it is not so bad

I love reading the reviews on this website. You'll get people rating 3/4 of the album 8-9/10 then say the album is average lol

It's nice on first listen, much better than expected. That miracle hook at the start was seriously gay as fuck though. I don't understand why the phrase "a better tomorrow" was prominent on the Ron O'Neal hook and not on the title real but w/e. I'll listen a few more times see how it holds up.

does the album have any hidden bonus song like the last 2 albums? i wonder if any stores are gonna release the CD early tomorrow black friday

I read that interview.....great interview. I feel bad for RZA.....seems like Rae and Ghost just think they are too big for the Wu nowadays. Rza had to pay Rae upfront just to get him on the album. Wish these guys were all on the same page for once and work together to make a classic bc they are capable. I really like A Better Tomorrow too.....I think it's their best album since Forever. Even with all the difficulties it took to make this album. I don't think they will have another group album after this one.....but you never know

Man With The Iron Fists 2 is done already??!!!!!


Dope interview!



Peace!

"A Better Tomorrow came together largely because, through it all, RZA has remained perhaps the world’s biggest Wu-Tang fan." True, true, true, Rolling Stone.

"Then you're hearing someone like U-God sounding better – like, "Wow, he's developing like a late bloomer." Nice backhanded compliment there RZA lol, kinda like how Jay did Memph Bleek 'who can be one hit away his whole career' haaaaaaaaaaaah.

He said, "You probably helped fucking get Obama the presidency because your music attracted multi-cultures at a phase where multicultural was not so big for us." 9th Prince sees the bigger picture in politics lol. Cool though that he was the one who initiated the idea of a reunion album. I never knew.

Fucking great interview (RZA's most open-hearted one ever?), very good album. Still absorbing all of this dopeness. I cannot express how much this has exceeded my expectations, this ranks up there with 'The W', which bar a few songs, was exquisite. In the long run this one might even be better. I am glad I was proven wrong. Even starting to kind of like the hook on 'Keep Watch' in this context. Who woulda thunk? (Can't say the same of the Miracle intro though.)

120 people in the Wu Chamber... don't think I've seen that many people in here in a loooong time.

I love how this place comes alive when a new album drops!



Peace!

i have this on pre-order but have just broken and going with the stream.

21 years - sensible clean cut bands dont often make this but this wild crazy geniuses have. I salute the mighty, untouchable Wu Tang Clan. I love many forms of music from techno through reggae, rock, drum and bass etc. Nothing has come close to the brilliance of good Wu. Of which there has been a lot.

I think it's already done for 2 years, cus the original Man with Iron Fist was supposed to last over 3hours. They mgiht've cut it into pieces and made two parts

No special ODB verses. Cap has 10 verses, his first lp with the Clan as a major contributor as a general now
