i dont think its fair to compare clan albums to each other cuz they all sound totally different. ie. Forever was a step up/mature version of 36 but is it better ? cant say it is..Quote:

no real heart-throbbing science from the darker days of the '90's, but more soulful and unique production with some solid verses from Ghost and GZA as usual.
gave the album a strong 7/10. could've been a 9/10 if you remove the soft vibe and add an elemnt of the 36 chambers

Calling the album "lame white boy shit" is the exact same as calling Soulja Boy "nigger music."Quote:

All in all, I liked the album, but wouldn't call it a classic.
I thought rae and deck both sounded boring, like rae wasn't even trying, and deck fell off hard.
I respect what it tried to do, but my main complaints are that it wasn't cohesive at all, had no flow as an album, lacked energy, and you could tell the members weren't really in to it.
However, on an individual basis, I enjoy all of the tracks, with the exception of Starter.
So, I would say it was a good album, and musically, was very interesting.
However, I certainly would not put it on the level of 36 or Forever, as those were classics.
Hip-hop was born from rock and all types of music. That's the essence of hip hop. That's why we like Wu-Tang, cos it's not boring hip-hop like any other typical hip-hop.Quote:

I still think it's slightly better then Iron Flag though...I hated that album.
This album basically suffered from OVER-production. RZA was just trying too hard to create a new sound...and if you combine that with the obvious emailed verses and lack of unity, this entire album seems like it was forced, IMO.
Get Them Out Your Way Pa = Most underrated Wu track in the past 5 years
