This album came out a year ago. I enjoyed it at first but went back to fall in love with the project, sadly it doesnt have those joints that made me love the wu sound.

I only liked 4 tracks.

Does anyone forsee another Clan album spearheaded by ghost or rae?

Good album, should have been better. I respect RZA's artistic progression but Wu fans want that hardcore Wu sh!t. That sh!t that 4th Disciple still makes. There was talks about the Wu members recording songs together, without RZA, while they were on tour in Europe earlier this year. I hope that materializes into a group project with 4th, Bronze Naz, and other We Element-like production. I bet 4th still :snoop: when he thinks about what RZA did to his Miracle beat. That song had potential to be one of the Top 3 best Wu songs in the past 10 years.

The thing that still upsets me is Raekwon again sabotaging the project by going on this one man campaign sh!tting on the project before it even came out. 2 group albums in a row. Rae just needs to shut the fvck up about the sh!t, especially if he knows that he's gonna jump on the projects anyway, as long as the money is good enough. He swayed alot of people's opinion on 8 Diagrams and he did with this one too. And why talk sh!t about brand quality when you put out subpar/average sh!t like FILA and you're quick to hop on any Tom, D!ck or Harry's track, regardless of how mediocre it may be, as long as you get a fat check for it.

All in all, I like Better Tomorrow. 3.5-4 mic album to me.

Listened to it one time. The beats were terrible. RZA should save those types of beats for a side project or something.

As far as Rae, I didn't buy the last two albums because nikkas was shytting on the albums before they even came out. How do I look spending money on an album that one of the creators is shytting on?

Beats aren't bad, just not what people want on a Wu album. Alot of the live instrumentation is lush and pretty dope. And Rae should shut the fvck up. Why would anybody in their right mind care what Rae says about an album? I love Rae but this n!gga was going around calling FILA a classic :russ:
Like I been saying, Rae NEVER put out a HIGH QUALITY album without direction from RZA. NEVER.

I liked Shaolin vs. Wu but Rae is making it a habit to trash RZA guided albums like he doesn't have a history of putting out forgettable sh!t. Immobilarity, Lex Diamond Story and FILA are below par and SvW was good but not that good where he should feel like his sh!t don't stink. The only real STANDOUT albums he has are the two Linx albums.

Might have to revisist it, I was so disappointed when it came out that I don't even think I listened to the whole thing. Legit the first Wu album where I ever said "fukk this shyt".
