The retail leaked today. Ive only listened to the intro so far, but its dope. Ive read alot of comments that state the album as a whole is a dissapointment. If your familiar with the Wu, you know that there has been alot of drama in the camp that continues to this day, and apprently these creative differences show in the music. Ill give a full review later.
So if anyone was looking forward top this album like I was, its out there. Discuss.

I have it, but havent listened to it yet. I thought this album would be the best of the year, better than Kanye's, Jay Z's etc, but the songs I have heard, probably around 5, only 1 has been decent "Life Changes" the others "Watch yo Mouth" "Weak Spot" "Heart Gently Weeps" are terrible. Like "The W" type terrible, actually that album might put this one to shame.
I was expecting much, now I am expecting an album I can listen to a few times, grab a few songs and then discard with the other crappy albums this year, Im looking at you Talib Kweli

I've been anticipating this but I'm more excited for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2.

I have it, it's alright, personally I really like Heart Gently Weeps, then again "while my guitar gently weeps" is one of my favorite songs. I'm gonna give it a few more listens before I make a final judgment of it, but it's definitely not as bad as W, I can tell you that already.

Alright, I listened to it all, and I feel its solid as a rock. Although Raekwon has publicly said that the group was against releasing this album and that they were not pleased with RZA's production, I felt RZA did wonderful. The group wasnt into his use of guitars and such (raekwon said hes a "hip hop hippie") but I liked it.
My favorite tracks are "rob me for my riches", "get them out ya way pa", and "take it back".
7.5/10 overall

The one with George Clinton and Life Changes are my favorite, but its not bad. 7.5 sounds about right
