Wu-Tang Clan - The W

[diesel]

i think this is a great cd i give it 9.5/10

[arto]

this is the one and only wu album i have. and i think it's bangin'. i think the sampling of the james bond theme on one blood under w is inspired. i love the beats on protect ya neck and careful, and i love the verses in gravel pit. i like i can't go to sleep, because my limited knowledge of rap music teaches me that not a lot of hip hop artists would do a song like that. i do think, though, that the guest appearances are a bit too many, especially snoop. i'll leave a more critical evaluation to when i know more wu albums, but right now the album gets a solid 8.7 from me.

my favourite tracks:

one blood under w - 8.8
protect ya neck - 9.1
gravel pit - 9.0 (extra points for the skit)

Forgot I already reviewed it here...

[THE W]

i made a poll for this album.

[drippie k]

i dont see why so many people hate on gravel pit, its damn cool song imo..sure it sounded more "commercial" or "pop" than wu usually does, but they still make it dope..

[rzatugaW]

thw w is the best album of wu-tang clannn.....odb rip

[Luther Large]

^^ i wouldnt go that far but to me it is a personal classic


my 2nd favorite wu album tied with 4ever and iron flag

[tacle]

A sick album! better than Iron Flag.

This is an alright album
The thing I didn't like about this album is that is felt like a compilation instead of a official wu album

I liked the feel of ob4cl, liquid swords, r236c, the gravediggaz, som, and killarmy albums they felt like a story instead of a bunch of songs thrown together on an album
With that said I liked hollows bones the best

[tacle]

I think the production on this was amazin', you had all different type of songs on there, no songs sounded the same, one of the best ever.

[ed-word]

the production was great, but um, how can i put it, they were too calm man, like compare it to 36 chambers it had that raw feel cuz of that raw rhyme delivery, dont know, it missed that chemistry that was on forever and 36 chambers, one blood boores me, chamber music was dope, careful boores me a lil bit, they could come on that trakc more hungry, hallow bones a classic track, the track with snoop was OK, the jump off also could be better, i cant go to sleep classic, let my niggas live a good track, but it misses that raw delivery, do you really was cool, but the beat didn't make me feel like it was a true banger like wu tang clan aint nothin to fuck with or triumph, the monument a great beat, love that song, gravel pit was cool, great chours, u god could come 10 times better on that track, jah world kinda bores me, the same like i cant go to sleep, production wise a classic album, beats like chamber music and careful had THAT wu sound, but mostly mc were too calm, still a banger

[Leo Angel]

Sorry but I think it's the worst album of Wu-Tang Clan, Production is so unorganized. Sometimes grimey (like in Let My Niggas Live), sometimes kinda funky (Redbull or Conditioner) or commercial (of course in the Wu-Tang manor, like in Gravel Pit). Lyrics were dope, like in other Wu-Tang albums. My favourites are Gravel Pit (sorry, Meth and Ghost rip it ), Redbull (classic Red, Meth & Ins collabo), Chamber Music (GZA!!), Do You Really (banga!!) & I Can't Go To Sleep. Some songs are average for me, like Hollow Bones, One Blood, Conditioner, The Jump Off or The Monument. I hate Careful (you gonna hate me now...) and I don't like beat on Let My Niggas Live. Overall it's 7,5/10 album IMO.

Sorry, thats what i love bout this album, different type of music on there, makes the album sick no doubt.

[Marc051]

best Wu-Tang album after 36 Chambers
