Wu-Tang - A Better Tomorrow (12/2/14) - Album Discussion Thread(Stream)

[AntLive1981]

Finally got around to listening to this. Been a Wu fan since '93, but listening to this shyt had me like Really, what the fukk is up with Rza's production now?!! This shyt hardly sounds like Wu Tang shyt at all, and that's a problem I been having with Wu Tang albums ever since The W. If it wasn't for Rae and Ghost's solo albums and Meth's standout verses here and there, I prolly wouldn't fukk with Wu Tang at all anymore! Naw but I blame that wack ass production for me not really liking this album, lyrically the album was fine. Damn, I just miss that raw '93 to '97 Wu shyt that I still play to this day! At least I'll always have that.

Wu-Tang Reunion makes me sadder every time I hear it.

It's like the last scene in Rocky Balboa. You watch it and you just know it's never coming back

And now they're making a Rocky spinoff called Creed with Stallone back in the role. I don't know why they're messing with a perfect ending like that.

In a year or two Wu fans are going to appreciate this album. Trust.

I love this album. Straight up. Even 40th street, which is corny, i still love. And @Ayo!-BEZ was right. Play this in the whip. It comes alive. Every single song.

Exactly. I'm glad alotta cats are coming around.

Listened all weekend again, after a week layoff. I change my mind, this isn't a good album. It's a GREAT album. Just missing that 1 thing...maybe a skit

Yea my POV changed for this album...I still can't fukk wit Mistaken Identity or Hold the Heater but in due time I kno I will...the 2nd half of this jawn is wonderful..I'm mean cut after cut every member is bringin that ish lyrically....4oth street is a banga..Miracle is cool too even the chorus...all dat shyt forreall...this will probably be there swan song but to an allustrious string of hits and what they did for HipHop its a pleasent way to exit...

Mistaken Identity, I can take. It's Hold the Heater that I can't get into AT ALL. I think they may have one more in them, but RZA should be sick of those MFs by now.

Brother....I think that necklace is causing you too much trouble

album is not bad but I'm bumping Wu-Tang Forever atm and there's no room for comparison

I dont think it would be fair to compair to forever which was made at their lyrical peak.. has been 17 years since forever came out.. but this is definately a good addition to their catalogue, people always complain about artist who never evolve their sound which you definately cant say about this project, cant fault rza on this one other than a couple of the unecessary hooks

 

[L. Deezy]

36 Seasons is better produced than this album by far.. I dont know man, but the Wu sound from RZA is just eh to me. Lyrically its good tho

 

[Billy Ocean]

This really is a damn good album. Every time I listen to it, I listen to it from start to finish. Flows beautifully. Again, I'm glad to see cats are seeing it for what it is. My biggest gripe tho is Miracle. Without the singing that sh!t woulda been

 

[Danie84]

Waves spinnin' like the Titanic, come take a float on...Rae kilt it

 

[wet landscapes]

I like this. It's a little toned down from the whole 36 chambers sound, but they're old guys now so it fits. There are few albums I can listen to all at once but I haven't even paused it yet, 47 minutes in.
