Lt. Al Giardello Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Just listen to this album, and I must say, this is great. Method Man really made up after his lackluster last album. One of the best CD's this year, too bad people are really overlooking this CD, because I thought it was better then Fishscales
Annabelle Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 method man has had a very disappointing career. he was supposed to be "the guy". his debut album was ok but nowhere near his wu chums.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Tical was a near classic, everything he did solo since has been disapointing. His shit with Redman was brilliant, and he holds his own on damn near every collaboration or Wu tracckk that he's on. He's like Jada, he just can't release a cd that someone with thier skills should be able to. I'ma go dl this. I'll post a review latter.
Guest DRH 502 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 ^^ Agreed. Although as much hate as you get Carlito, you are probably one of my favorite posters (Yeah I know right? You too Frogg ) but calling it better than Fishscales is gassing the album up and if I do get around to listening to it, i'm gonn listen to it expecting an album better than Fishscales...something I do not think Meth is capable of.
Black Lushus Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 as much as I love Wu Tang albums, I've never been fans of their solo albums, the lone exception being Liquid Swords...the whole is better than the parts.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 You don't like ODB's return to the 36 chambers, Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Links, Any of Ghostface's solos? No RZA? No other GZA, like his Boby digital work?
Black Lushus Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 sure, I like a few tracks from each album, but I found the albums to be bloated overall...not sure what I mean by a "bloated album"? Nas' Street's Disciple is the perfect example. Just too much to listen to, I get bored.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 I loved street's Disciple. Here's the thing, though. After I get sick of listening to an album or realise i'm skipping a bunch of tracks everytime, I just take my fav ones and make my own album with it. Especially double discs. All Eyez On Me, Life after Death, The Blueprint 2, Wu-Tang forever... RZA and GZA are both geniouses in my eyes, and OBFCL is like a movie. You gotta listen to the whole thing, all the way through, preferablly staying high throughout. But fuck it, dawg, different strokes for different folks.
Black Lushus Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 oh I do the "take specific tracks and make one CD" thing
Detox Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 There is some nice production on here, and the Scott Storch produced track is surprisingly good.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 There is some nice production on here, and the Scott Storch produced track is surprisingly good. Surprisingly good? I don't like who Scott Storch chooses to produce for, but for the most part his beats are very good. OBFCL is one of the greatest CD's of all time, in my opinion. Street's Disciple is a very underrated album IMO, there are a few tracks I disliked, but overall it was a hot album. The Blueprint 2 had alot of bangers and alot of fillers, if Jigga would've cut the fillers it would've been considered a classic IMO.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Scott Storch made Paris hilton's shit listenable, I'm sure he can pull off something good with MethodMan. I'm still Dling this shit. I've been looking forward to it.
Ripper Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Links only solo Wu album I liked. Thats it. I could make one kickass album by picking tracks off the others solo albums...one of the greatest albums ever actually, but none come close to this in my eyes.
Guest DRH 502 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Nothing against Raekwon but even the sunshines on a dog's ass everyonce in a while.
In Credible Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 I really like Liquid Swords and Legend of The Liquid Swords. GZA is the shit.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Posted August 26, 2006 I liked Liquid Swordz more then I liked OB4CL. I liked Words from the Genius aswell even though it was released before he formed the Wu Tang.
