this album is as grimey today as it ever was
"The skywalker, that be leapin' over planets"
Im guessing this was a knock on what I said, I said thats the only reason its not a ten, but I just didn't elaborate on what makes the album nearly perfect as opposed to perfect for me, since I first heard the album there were times in the last few tracks I felt like it was missing something, its just Meth has the talent that kept the album strong even at those times I am speaking of
"The skywalker, that be leapin' over planets"
^^ Nah, I think he was replying to King Lizard, not you.

^^Shocked to read the Steely Dan reference in their earlier, nice touch, I thought I might be the only one in this forum to have a clue what you were talking about
"The skywalker, that be leapin' over planets"
^^ Haha, check the Sound Shack, there's people on this site with surprisingly varied taste in music.

Masterpiece...I never grow tired of this album!!
The real Review!
1.Tical
Karate intro is just so nice. Beat is RAW, the bass on here is crazy and the hook is nice. Method Man spits raw on here, straight hip-hop, preview of the whole album, this is that Wu-Sound straight from the gutter. 5/5
2.Biscuits
I love this beat, but I can barely hear the lyrics on here. Beat is real raw, "Yo momma don't wear no draws"! Method Man is straight raw on this joint, I wish it was better mastered though, it's still grimy though. 5/5
3.Bring The Pain
I don't even have to review this right here. 5/5
4.All I Need
This is an ill track no doubt, beat is raw and Meth is spitting some ill shit about women, keeping it hood. I must say I like the remix better though, Mary J. on the hook is just crazy and the beat is not as raw but Raw enough. 4.5/5
5.What the Blood Clot
Straight Raw! Method Man going hard on this whole joint with no hook, that's what I like. Beat is hard as fuck, I love the shoutouts at the end and O.D.B. is funny as hell fucking with a napkin on his dick lol. 5/5
6.Meth vs. Chef
Aww man this is some ill battle type shit. Meth vs Chef is probably some real shit, I heard they did battle for tracks back in the day. I think Meth took this one, especially towards the end "a nigga up, with all the dangerous diseases
Sniffling sneezing coughing aching stuffy head fever
Fucker, I think it's bout time that you suffer
Bobbin on my nob like an all day sucker... Bitch!" that shit was ill right there. Raekwon came hard on this one too, that's why the track is so ill. 5/5
7.Sub Crazy
The beat on here is crazy, Method Man is ill on here, the whole album is fucking raw man "Word up, our niggas is strapped, ready for war on the ill block
Things just ain't peace no more, fuck it
If you ain't with me then forget me
Niggas try to stick me, retaliation, no hesitation, shifty
Creepin niggas in the dark, triggas with no heart
Rippin ass apart, I'll be swimmin with the sharks now
Stay out my water or it's manslaughter
Kid, you oughta start reachin for that nickle-plated auto-
Matic, my thoughts get sporadic, loaded raps
Bustin mad shots to ya attic
They say this hazard, this flows a hazard
Straight from Hazard County with a bounty on his head, and it said
"Wanted Dead or Alive," I swear by the whites of they eyes
To never take a dive I will survive".......5/5
8.Release Yo Delf'
This one right here had to grow on me, but with raw lyrics like "Shit's gettin deep in here, I mean thick
Niggaz lookin all in my face like they want dick
It's about to hit the fan, hit the flo'
That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no mo'
What is it? Niggaz think they bigga
Cause they got the finga on the trigga of a pistol
They don't know I'm wicked, when I start to kick it
With the raw sound, wash it down with a Mystic"...that's ill, then you have Blue Raspberry on the hook, with and ill beat what do you expect?? 5/5
9.P.L.O. Style
I like this calm beat right here, Method Man opens up Raw and then we see Carlton Fisk he's raw aswell, I love how they spitting bar for bar on this joint. 5/5
10.I Gets My thing In Action
Ill beat, it's kinda calm too which I love. Method Man Spittin i'll raw rhymes on here, I love the drums on this beat for real. 5/5
11.Mr.Sandman
This track is the reason Method Man is my favorite Member of the Wu-Tang Clan hands down for life. I heard this on My uncles Wu-Tang Killa Beez tape, the beat is just ill itself and the guest spots are crazy, you got RZArector on here who is ill on a lyrical tip more importantly the beat, then Inspectah Deck comes in ill "My hazardous thoughts cut the mics life support short" crazy shit BUT Method Man just goes in for the K.O. on some Marvel vs. Capcom shit "Hot time, summer in the city
My people represent, get busy
The heat-seeker, on a mission from Hell's kitchen
I gets in where I fits in for head-touchin, listen
My enemy, is the industry got me flippin
I don't give a fuck tell that bitch and a nigga
I'm killin, snipin, catchin murder cases
Desert Storm-in, I be searchin for oasis
As I run a mile with erasers
Pullin, swords, hit the Billboard with a bullet
Peace to the number seven
Everybody else get the fo'-nine-three-eleven" his flow is raw on that shit Meth is just wild. Streetlife is on this joint too, but Carlton Fisk is the Icing on the Cake, he ends it off raw... "Niggaz said, "Carlton youse a ill motherfucker"
Cause I made it look like they both killed each other
And I'm out" The screaming on the track is ill too. 5/5
12.Stimulation
I wasn't really feeling this shit at first, my mom was and the more she asked me to play it the more I like it, this is some ill shit. I love the beat on here, Method Man just spitting real ill on here too. 5/5
13.Method Man (Remix)
Not as ill as the first but it's just as good. I love the flows and hype-ness Method Man brings on here. The beat is ill as fuck too, this whole album is just some raw shit, some of the best Wu Material on this disc. 5/5
Lyrics - 5/5
Beats - 5/5
Overall - 5/5
This Album was the beginning of the crazyness yet to come from solo acts in the clan, Meth started everything off real raw and grimey...... ****Overall 5/5**** ****Certified Wu-Classic****
Only a few years ago Hip Hop purists may have felt superior listening to hard core while their less enlightened companions snacked on commercial rap. As Shaolin research began to point out the overwhelming benefits of raw production, true hip hop enthusiasts started turning back to traditional styles. Wu-Tang in particular, has been shown to myriad beneficial effects, from warding off ignorance and poverty to reducing the risk of incarceration and death.
