Asia: Songs from the Page of Swords

Advantages: it's leftfield
Disadvantages: none

...Before reviewing this album, anyone will automatically look towards the first album, Leftism, before listening. This has mixed blessings. First, Leftism is a classic.

Advantages: The Style,The Price,Good Rappers
Disadvantages: Not Really Any

...THis is the first album from wu-tang clan and in my opinion is the best origanally an underground album there first song was tearz (No.11) this album shows you what wu-tang are all about there style is unique and the members of the clan are good rappers the members consist of Rza,Gza,Ghostface Killah,Inspectah Deck,Raekwon,U-God,Method Man,OL'Dirty Bastard And Masta Killa And also Cappadonna but he is on the W. Most of the song's on this album are good especially the Wu-Tang Sword side The other side is the Shaolin Sword Side which is not as good the best song's on the album are Da Mystery Of Chessboxin',C.R.E.A.M., METHOD MAN and Protect Ya Neck all the other song's on the album are also good but these are the song's that stick out for me. If you would like to buy this album it's available from music zone for £6.99 and also from hmv... Read review
