ordered my copy yesterday. itīs worth buying and more than that it is a damn good album.
i have to give it another good listen cause i didnt really "listened" to all that he says but so far itīs:
9/10
for me.
i donīt like that the clan track is put together not recorded live. as well as ragu. but all in all itīs ok cause it still sounds very dope.
i love the underwater track. champion. whip me with a strap....haha...damn good. family thing.
cappa is back and burrrrnin - thatīs good.
I have to say after listening to this album for a week it is off the hook. I love it. The only thing I really don't care for is all the skits. I think those are senseless on all hip hop albums. I read someone said on here that it seems like a mixture of all his previous albums. I agree. A little bit of everything on here for everyone. A def must buy. Ghost still continue's to be the most consistant with the wu. Can't wait for the MF Doom & Ghost Collabo, Swift & Changable.
11/10 haha. everytime i hear fishscale i have to rewind to hear certain lines. i catch new ones everytime i hear the album.
The song KILO love that shit listened to like 10x already
I've been really busy lately my review is still coming.
i love the clubber lang sample in The Champ. and i think 3 Bricks is dope no matter what niggas say.. with or without BIG's verse. Rae flipped that Somebody Gotta Die hook like its always been a Wu Tang song..
The Champ song is my track along w/ clipse of doom n underwater my top three favorite tracks
my favourite tracks are "clipse of doom", "the champ" and "r.a.g.u."

Bets Cd I ahve got in a while. Its better than T.I's joint. Beats aren't good enough though. Still got the dankest lyrics, BUT, people wanna dance these days instead of listening to creativity. Too many skits, songs are too short.
4/5, best of '06 so far.
thats not a clubber lang sample! He says supreme clientele. I don't think that ever mentioned in Rocky.
IMO
Shakey Dog
- 10/10 -
Gully
Kilos
- 8/10 -
tough lyrics,beat sucks without a good sub(shit on headphones)
The Champ
- 8/10 -
Dope lyrics but miss the old verse, not used to the new beat yet. Would have been a 10/10 like this.
Ditch verse 1
Verse 2
Verse 3
OG Verse 2
9 milli bros
-8/10-
Grew on me but still one of the worst all member wu joints
-GZA still hasnt woken up
-WTF @ Raspy Deck
-Best verse is still only "good" nobody really tears it
Beauty Jackson
-10/10-
ILLL track.. wisdom body type joint that outdoes the original
Crack Spot
-10/10-
Love the instrumental, ghost can make even an OD funny
R.A.G.U.
-10/10-
Gets me all tingling inside with that OB4CL flavor
Whip You With A Strap
-10/10-
So many emotions in this song, nostalgia, remorse, love, fear, pain.
Undeniable classic track.
Back Like That
-7/10-
On its own its 'meh' but in the album its not too out of place. Just good enough not to be skipped.
Be Easy
-8.5/10-
Grew on me SO much since I first heard it, one of the best beats on the album and just some feel good shit to get you bouncing without being TOO bouncy. First verse is simple but funny, second verse is all braggadocio but it just fits and comes off nice.
Clipse of Doom
-10/10-
Vicious beat. Ghost is hilarious on the intro. Ghost smashes it on the first verse, Trife comes in and RIPS it with a dope hook, then ghost comes back and does it again on his second verse and then cleans up the shit on the last verse. Just straight amped up shit!
Jellyfish
-9/10-
An instance of ghost singing gone right and cappa even joins in on the fun not sounding half bad! All dope verses about around the block girls. Nice doom beat even though there were better to choose from.
Dogs of War
-7.5/10-
Beat gets kind of old and nobody REALLY kills it on here, caps verse shoulda been cut off a few bars too.
Barbershop
-8/10-
Its all good here but would have been a 10 with both verses being left in.
Big Girl
-8/10-
Good shit. Ghost doing his patented rhyming over a whole soul track and doing it well. Good message 2 and def some funny moments.
Underwater
-7.5/10-
I was kind of underwhelmed with this. Love this beat but he could have done more with it lyrically. Dont get me wrong its a creative track but I thought it would be like The Forest, except underwater.
Momma
-9/10-
Alot of you arent feeling this song but its some real heartfelt shit. Good beat and decent singing too.
3 Bricks
-8/10-
Beat is kinda generic but Rae kills the hook and Rae and ghost spit ill verses . Im still kinda iffy on using the BIG verse though (I know it was supposed to be on Duets Id have just ditched it)
AVG of Scores is 8.7
but for an overall listen, how i feel after i listen to the joint I give it a 9/10. Best shit ive heard in a minute. Lyrically the album is almost flawless but there could have been more hard bangers beatwise (like the Murder Goons track) which would have put it over the top for me.
Album is average as fuck. Heard it all before. Nothing about it really captured my attention. Had little interest listening to it the first time, very little desire to hear it again, bumped it again anyway and decided it's fucken average. Not a bad album at all, aside from recycling already overused Doom beats on a few tracks, and the Clan track bites dick, but just very little appeal.
I don't know why cunts rave about releases like this. It just sounds like everything else out there. Back when the Clan were on top of their game their shit stood out. They had their own sound. Albums like this are a dime a dozen.
There's another album like Fishscale out? Where?Quote:
