I know a lot of cats is hatin on this album. But if yall ears was really open and you heard these cats degrees of elevation and messages you will see these cats is infinite. Take a good listen to this joint. I guarantee it will change your opinion. People today dont appreciate an album when it comes to listening to it. They hear the beat and wanna groove out. Music is more than that. take heed.

I'M DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS ALBUM. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WU HAVEN'T SPENT ALOT ON TIME ON TRYING TO MAKE THIS GREAT. I KNOW THESE GUYS CAN DO ALOT BETTER. THEY HAVE SOME HORRIBLE SONGS ESPECALLY "I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP". THE SONGS I LIKE ARE "GRAVEL PIT", "PROTECT YA NECK (JUMP OFF)" AND "CAREFUL(CLICK CLICK". WU TANG FOREVER!!!

Dont get me wrong I Love Wu tang but this album is a dissapointment and they are getting worse. Yeah there first two was classics and there solo efforts waa bangin but this nah. Yeah there is some tight tracks "Redbull" and "lets my N-Ggas live" but thats abotu it yknow, it aint too good, comapred to there debut this aint really nuttin.

And thats all I have to say about that

The above title stems from The RZA'a proclamation on 1997's Wu-Tang Forever (Disc 2-"Bells Of War"), when he states "the next Wu-Tang album isn't gonna come out till 2000...It's gonna strike like a commet). After one listen to The W, you can tell that these cats were out to prove something: that they never fell off. Many fans say that The W is their most commercial album as a unit, but that doesn't really have to be a bad thing. For the first time, Wu-Tang experimented by adding special guest appearances outside of the Wu family (Redman, Junior Reid, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Isaac Hayes, and Busta Rhymes). The results were pretty good. The thing is that the fans wanted another 36 Chambers, and that can never happen because a classic can never be duplicated, but an artist(s) can always make another classic (but not the same type of classic twice). The W is not a classic but it is not a bad album neither. The sinlgles are hot: "Protect Ya Neck" (The Jumpoff), "Gravel Pit" featuring Majestic on the vocals (the same chick who appeared on Ghostface's "Cherchez LaGhost"), "Careful", and "I Can't Go To Sleep" featuring Isaac Hayes. The bad thing about the album is that ODB only appeared on one song ("Conditioner" featuring Snoop Dogg) due to the fact that he was incarserated at the time. The W met Wu-Tang's goals of accomlishment, as it went 2X platinum quickly, and got the mainstream and hip-hop fans alike talking about Wu-Tang again (which began earlier in 2000 after Ghostface released the classic Supreme Clientele). The Wu didn't return to their former spot as hip-hop's favorite sons, but returned to the top nonetheless. However, would they stay at the top for long? Stay tuned....

well what can i say.this is my fav.album since eazy-e.i can play and play this cd and it will never get old.the rza produced almost all the tracks on this and all the rhymes are tight!!it's about to be 2005 and i have all the solo albums and all the clans albums and all of them are great but i just favor this 1 the most.if you like the rza he is at his best on track 2.thats just my thought.but this is the best album wu has made.
