Summary: THIS IS NOT OLD WU. GET OVER IT!!
Comment: For all the people complaining that this is not the 'old WU' need to shut up and move on. Every album is supposed to have a new sound to it. I love this album and I know that as individuals, the Wu still make their vintage sound on other tracks, so I'm secure in knowing that Wu has not changed, but have just experimented. Also know that it is impossible to please everybody, because if this album sounded like 36 chambers, there would still be people complaining that the album sounds old and would like to hear something new.

Summary: You can never find Zig weak spot, stop looking!!!!!
Comment: I give this 5 stars because I think still compared to most newer rap this is above it..What I wouldn't do is compare this entire album to '36 Chambers' or 'Forever'...those people looking for that straight gritty sound that endeared Wu to a whole generation isn't here in full...I'd say the closest song to that Wu is #13 "Weak Spot"...
But all that being said this is a great album...It starts off with a sample from "8 Diagram Pole Fighter" in the classic Wu style of Kung-fu homage in "Campfire". Lyrically the album just works for me..I woulda liked to hear more from Gza on this album but I think the lyrics are definitely still on it...
Beats wise it depends on what you are looking for..Being someone that digs Rock&Roll and other genres I guess I liked some of the heavier beats like "Campfire" and "Unpredictable".. "Guns Will Go" and "Windmill" probably had my two favorite beats looking at it from a hip-hop perspective...But to me the genius song on the album was "The Heart Gently Weeps"..They took the hook from the Beatles song and made it their own..where most 'artists' just rob the beat and little else, Wu made it their own...
I was distressed about Ghostface's comments before the album came out..but in retrospect I think it was a personal thing about the Wu album being dropped before his..a shame but when that many artists get together with such talent, egos will ensue..
My Top 5 tracks
1. Heart Gently Weeps
2. Rushing Elephants
3. Windmill
4. Stick Me for My Riches
5. Weak Spot
Wu Forever!!

Summary: Wu-Tang classic
Comment: This is another Wu-Tang classic album that deserves 5 Stars, no question about it. RZA developed great beats and the members really show up lyrically. Not much more can be said beyond go get the album yourself, sit back, and enjoy it.

Summary: Its OK
Comment: Yeah, Wu Tang is unpredictable, and thats the problem. When I buy a Wu release, I want to hear the Wu, not someone else. When Wu appear on only slightly more than half, I am a little disappointed.
The hot tracks on this one are:
Take It Back
Unpredictable
And Wu knows these are the best tracks as they are the tracks that headline the DVD that its packaged with. Speaking of the DVD, its good from an inside the studio point of view, but the concert footage is NOT good. Distortion, and worst of all its censored.
Overall its just OK. I'll listen to those teo tracks religiously and delete the rest from the mp3 player.
