With the release of the Wu-Tang Clans third album, the W, its interesting to see that their debut album, 'Enter the 36 Chambers' still adorns the shelves of music shops worldwide, and is still very popular. Being the 3rd album I ever bought, 36 Chambers was definately a good choice, and despite years of listening to it, its still my favourite album. The Wu-Tang Clan combine excellent wordplay and battle their way through the album, which is laced with martial arts samples, giving it that authentic flavour. Produced by RZA, one of the founding members of the Clan, this is a masterpiece that shouldn't be missed by any hip-hop fan.

I've never heard of this group so some more details about the group & the music that they make would have really helped me out. Welcome to Ciao...Tom

Very good first op, music is really hard to write about but you seem to have captured the flavour of the album in a nice short review. There is a definate art to this. A little more length might not hurt in future but all in all a very good first op, keep it up and welcome to Ciao!!

Review of W, The - Wu-TangClan
Advantages: Nice guest rappers like Ghostface and Raekwon turn up at AFTERPARTY and THE TURN respectively. Disadvantages: The lyrics from Method man are disgusting and the musical production is revolting! SAY WHAT?
