Day one Wu Tang fan but RZA lost it man.His sonics are evolved,as they should but the reason Wu got my attention in the first place was the dissonance and Lo Fi feel of the music.I'll still cop but expect to lose interest quick beacause his new sound just got too much of everything and nothing going on at once

I don't really care about reviews for this album, I'll let this board and people I've known 25-30 years review it. I'll listen to them, and obviously form my own opinion once I hear it.
Most of these bloggers aren't even old enough to remember "Wu in their prime" so they can
outta here.

I skimmed the snippets, which sounds redundant, so obviously I don't have enough info to say if I liked or disliked something, just wanted to get a feel for the tone of the album and the beats and so far I'm still on board. I'll wait till the 2nd to give my real opinion :whoknows:

Nice. Rae definitely shined brightest on this. Excellent verse. Would've been great if Ghost was on it, he woulda killed it.
Now see....this "A Better Tomorrow" song isn't a typical Wu sound but it's dope as fukk. There's way to expand on their sound without it being horrifically corny like "Preacher's Daughter".
I'm still copping though so

uggh...it started with promise but they replay so much of that overused sample and with the hook it essentially becomes them over the original song, which they already do on this album w/ the Reunion track. It's like RZA wants to be in a cover band of soul standards rather than make hip-hop beats.

I think this, Reunion and Never Let Go will all have a similar vibe. close it out with the feel good joints
im trying to hold off until I have it, but I got to hear Felt in its entirety. it intrigues me, trying to hold off on leaks 2 songs ago but ive just waited too long its hard
I ain't listening :smugbond:

Superstar
I disagree with that. The "old sound" sorts are apparent in all kinds of music.
There are people who don't really care for Miles Davis' music post "Kind of Blue"
just as there are people who spit acid at Metallica for even attempting to do something
"different". Though sometime it isn't related as simple as "this is wack !" or "this is trash !"
but the sentiment is generally the same.
Spend more time dealing with people outside of Hip Hop and you'll find a lot of things
common in "The Booth" are pretty much common across music forums across the internet.
Them heavy metal cats pioneered the "he sold out!" shyt. My older brothers were into rock and heavy metal in the 80's and God forbid if any of those groups deviated even slightly from their last album.
Fred.
I'd rather have RZA bang out some Bobby Digi leftover beats than a Wu album over generic soul loops.
Even an Alchemist produced Wu album wouldn't sit right with me. The Wu is the Wu. Without RZA no matter what producer comes in ain't gonna be a Wu album (other than the Wu-element cats but can they really hold down an album in 2014?).
Necklace is ill, exactly what I wanna hear from Wu
