After 4 years since Wu-Tang Forever the Wu once again grace us with their presence, this time stepping slightly away from the sounds of the Shaolin.

The album has its moments but also, uncharacteristically, carries some weak links.

1. Chamber Music - Nice intro song with a good beat, average.
2. Careful Click Click - Bouncy beat with ok lyrics.
3. Hollow Bones - dreadful beat in my opinion.
4. Redbull feat. Redman - Good track with a nice horn loop, Redman doesn't disappoint here.
5. One Blood Under W feat. Junior Reid - err, no comment, lets just say unneccessary.
6. Conditioner feat. Snoop Dogg - The only ODB appearance on the LP featuring Snoop Dogg, not great quality, sounded like ODB recorded his stuff down the phone, well he was on the run!
7. Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off) - Great upbeat track with all the members shining on this one, original was better though.
8. Let My N***** Live feat. Nas - an African drum beat which sounded kinda weak.
9. I Can't Go To Sleep feat. Issac hayes - A deep sad track with RZA and Ghostface, real touching sample.
10. Do You Really Thang Thang - fast tempo track, average.
11. The Monument feat. Busta Rhymes - nice track with bouncy flow.
12. Gravel Pit - No explanation needed here, fast dancy single.
13. Jah World feat. Junior Reid - Shaolin slaying sample draws the Lp to a close with a sad dragging beat.

The weaker of the three Wu group albums, still recommended for the Wu fanatic though.

I love Wu-Tang and agree that some of these tracks are weak for them. I think more info re the band for those who aren't already fans would gain a VH
