i do like the album each time i listen to it,GZA 's really good at
using his voice & lyrics. i suggest they should have include a lyrics booklet
with the CD^^
Wu Tang Clan be Good!

Definatly a dope az album for this day an age that is if you like raw hip-hop 4/5 I think there's some interesting beats on this album for eg; 0% Finance it's got a gd guitar riff not really into that shit but it worked for me, But like alot of you guys have already mentioned Gza's voice is abit out of line keeping it slow, simple an plain on most of he's tracks he should of put a bit more emotion/passion in hes voice... Or hey maybe it's just me but he's voice is sounding a bit old i'm not saying its a bad thing but maybe hes just naturally spittin like that cause of hes age idk..

Love the album to death, but hate the editing of the "n" and "f" words in some tracks, shit is annoying, like an Parental Advisory sticker is something bad.

PEACE

Wooooooo I've listened to Pro Tools now wooooooooo.

And I quite like it, too.

a lot talk regarding his flow... gza has been understating everything (the prime example being most of the beats on legend) in his last few albums to showcase his lyrics more... it doesn't cater to all tastes but at least he can legititately say he's doing something genuinely different to the majority...

money well spent for me... to be honest i only really look out for gza, masta killa and rza solos now... overall i think 4/5 is fair review...

one minor thing... i don't really see the purpose of artists who aren't producers using beats as intros or interludes without any real vocals... i saw of couple of guys here say it sets the tone or whatever but i'd just rather hear the first track... this was an intro for the sake of having an intro (or maybe part of the scramble to clock the album over the 40 minute mark... i realise this complaint seems petty but this is gza... he doesn't need musical interludes on his albums...

Rock Marcy rips the shit outta shortrce

^^ word, Rock Marcy is a really dope MC - love his work.. listening to the album now for the first time in a long time, good beat selection for the most part in true Wu fashion. GZA does sound a little sleepy from time to time which, together with a few songs that doesn't appeal to me ("Paper Plate", "0 Finance", "Cinema"), drags the rating down. Still between a 3/5 and 3.5/5 album

not better than liquid swords but better than digi snacks

tigermilk · 09-18-2009, 10:48 AM

I think it's his best album since Liquid Swords. Some real classic Wu bangers on here!

CharlesJones · 06-11-2011, 09:46 AM

Wack album. He hasn't made a good album since Liquid Swords.

You need to go listen to "Beneath the Surface" again. And "Grandmasters". And "Legend of the Liquid Sword". Hell, "Pro Tools" too. Matter of fact, you need to reappraise GZA's whole discography because he hasn't dropped a single wack album.

CharlesJones · 06-11-2011, 10:00 AM

Whatever.
