this is up there on my top 5 WU Albums. i really don't give a shit what anyone else says. this album is untouchable! at a time when i was doubting the WU, they put out 3 albums that floored me; Supreme Clientele, The W and this. they all had a dark vibe to them but managed to keep it moving and didn't bore me. i pretty much like every track on here. everyone makes a big deal about the Japanese version of this soundtrack, but if you have this, you're good to go!

[Frank Drebin]

Oh shit this album is straight bangin. Zip Code, The Man, Fast Shadow, Stay With ME. oh fuck this album is all that. 9/10. How come on the review you aint got the two bonus tracks that are just instrumentals? Flying Birds and Ninja Step the come on as track 20 and 21

[deadlymelody]

Man this album went totally under the radar. This proves that RZA can produce with the best after his Forever days. 9.5/10

[b.i.b.l.e.]

strange eyes, zip code, walking through the darkness, the man, cakes, stay with me....real good work by rza and wu-fam (sunz of man, tekitha, superb, black knights, etc....)

Co-Sign, One of my personally favorites.

[PuNcH_iN_PuNcH_OuT]

its one ill album

very underrated

[Johnny Dust]

Fast Shadow is one of the illest Wu-songs. Love that beat.

Strange Eyes is also one of my favourites.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

The film score is even better.

[pablobaluba]

8.5/10...excellent album...very very good

[SHEEPISH LORD OF CHAOS]

THIS IS DEFINATELY A CLASSIC WU BANGA
MAN 4 FO SHO'

[leaguer1]

strange eyes - 8.5 (hard to go wrong with a good rza beat and sunz of man)
4 sho sho - 8.5 (northstar grows on another good rza beat)
zip code - 6 (this beat too bob digi for me but i can see how someone could like it)
cakes - 8.5 (good old school beat with rza and g rap)
don't test - 1 (as the name suggest; suga bang bang is just plain shit)
walking thru darkness - 2 (not rap. only good to see tekitha get a solo song)
the man - 9 (i would have preferred it to have only Masta kIlla on it, but oh well)
walk the dogs - 7 (royal fam and la are a pleasure to listen to; unimaginative beat)
stay with me - 0 (okay that's enough r&b please!)
east ny stamp - 8.5 (big jeru fan; good to hear him on a classic wu thread)
fast shadow - 10 (classic wu flava. rza at his best)
samurai showdown - 3.5 (wack digi shit for the most part. i like the ghostdog theme laced in the middle)

bottomline: 7

good album. good soundtrack. good for rza. good for wu. good for all these headz that have been on the low for a minute.

[tajeco]

The key for me "produced by The RZA". I'd like to see more of that in the upcoming Wu projects, like the good 'ol days

[tekunique]

One of RZA'S best work IMO. the music in the film makes the movie even better when watching it. very few scores pull that off.. giving true cinematic emotion thru instrumentation and vocals. 9/10.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

^this aint the score, its the "soundtrack", 2 different albums
