Wu-Tang Clan - "Necklace" off ABT

[Cilvaringz]

None of the Wu-Tang album are greater or less great than each other, they are all moments in time and RZA captures those moments perfectly with that point in time, as he does with this album. It's a saga, it's not individual parts with separate albums, it's one 20 year lasting experience, one pyramid with the bricks representing those moments. That's the only way I can describe it.

I'll tell yall like this, from a Wu-Tang fan perspective, not as Cilvaringz or anything like that, but as a fan like yall, I just heard the whole album in full, and I'm definitely impressed. Not to be biased, but to me it's a really great album. The song "Miracles" is a def favourite and the album sounds cohesive, which for me as a listener is an important factor. I must admit that even I, even though knowing what RZA is capable of, there was some worry about the experimental sound and the use of live instrumentation, but after hearing it twice now, I can't say anything else other than that I really genuinely enjoyed the album and I'm pretty sure many of you will as well.

That's what's up, definitely lookin forward to this album.

On point!

From the 7 of 15 tracks I've heard I feel the same way.. Really looking forward t this. For so long I never thought it would even be released. Truly 2 years in the making

I hope you're right Cilva.

Does 4th has any more beats on the album? I remember he said "maybe 2" on twitter. We know Adrian Younge did Crushed Egos.

I do like Ruckus In B Minor and the album version of Ron O'Neal, so I'm not really worried about RZA-beats, but 4th brings that extra grimey sound I'd like to hear more of. Necklace is my favorite so far.

Thanks for the update and for sharing your thoughts.

Is Wu-Tang Reunion the same as Family Reunion that came out last year?

Does the album version of "Ron O'Neil" have Nathaniel on hook and he got cut off?

Still on there, but a different vocal take. And he's been taken off the intro

Most of us have seen this vid of the album listening session.

The last 2 songs are Hold The Heater (my guess) and Crushed Egos (produced by Adrian Younge).

[Cilvaringz]

Anyone audio ripped that video?

[fortyglock]

Nah.

Cilva, would you say Necklace is the most vintage Wu sounding (and hardest) track on the album?

[TheWuSepticTank]

Still annoyed by this Nathaniel dude on these songs. He sucks as a singer and serves no purpose at all to these records. RZA should've used Tekitha, Blue Rasberry, Suga Bang or even 60 Sec on those tracks. At least they ring familiar to Wu heads.
