I can't believe you said you were going to "steer clear" of the first Wu album in seven years. Are you serious? You watch a bad performance and then it's just "aw shit well they suck now! Those assholes! If they sucked they should have told me back in '93!
... Like, are you for real? Please, louder. Say it ain't so!
I now have a copy of the album (that's right... I've got a CD + vinyl on order, and I have a simple promo to keep me going in the meantime.
Out of respect for my (second) favorite hip-hop entity, and #1 all time favorite hip-hop group, I am listening with caution. Catching the feel of some of the songs but not letting myself binge on it.
It comes out swingin' in classic Wu-Tang style, and I haven't heard a bad song yet. This album is getting shat on by Wu fans left and right, and I think that has more to do with the media hullabaloo that is making Rae, GFK, Ghost, Gza and RZA sound like some ghettofied version of the Beatlws during "Let it Be." Fuck that noise!!!
It's a dope album as far as I can tell so far, without spoiling the entire thing for myself. But shit... Wow did my heart start pounding at the kick off of "Ruckus..." Even though I've heard it before! Several tracks in, and I can't help but call bullshit on the haters. This is as Wu as any of the last three albums, so stop being fairweather fans and go buy the album!!!! On Tuesday that is.
Now maybe we can start talking top 10 lists in earnest.
