Top 50 Wu-Tang Albums: Day 14

Top 20.

Man, i really want to vote top 10, but i think this actually #11 on my list. it's my second favorite affiliate album. It's littered with classic tracks IMO, and the M*A*S*H* sample on 5 Stars is beyond dope IMO.

I feel it's littered with classic tracks also.

Top 15. Love the album.

Five of my favorite songs on this album are Wu Renegades, Wake Up, Dress To Kill, Clash Of The Titans, and Under Siege.

Top 20

top 5, like Kid Joe, my top 5 actually includes 6 albums

this is top 5 to me, one of my favorite albums of all time...probably top 25-30 on a fav. all time scale. Listen to this straight through often

i cant say enough about this album, 4th Disciple is in another world with the beats on this one, the two RZA beats are two of his dopest, Killa Sin is incredible on here, Dom Pachino is also very nice, 9th Prince's flow can be on/off but when he's on he makes some of these songs as good as they are.

Some people criticize some of the MCs but they fit the vibe of this album perfectly, honestly i think id rather hear these guys over these beats rather than the Clan members, they just fit the vibe perfectly

Good points here.

I agree 100%, my man.

I have this and Wu-Tang Forever as 4 and 4A. I don't particularly like one more than the other. I loved the whole military vibe of this album. And you can never go wrong with R. Lee Ermey soundbytes!

This is the last of my Top 5.

What's your rating for Wu-Tang Forever?

Rating, as in on a 1 - 5 scale? Somewhere around a 4.5 or 4.75. I really don't sit down and give ratings to albums, so this is kinda new to me. My rating system usually consists of..."I love that shit!", "It's good", "Ehh, it's alright", and "Ugh, garbage..." So, if I were to give everything that I say "I love that shit!" a 5.0, there would be wayyyyy to many perfect classics out there. I'm not one to do that though. I'm not The Source.

And I voted it Top 5 on this topic. Basically, my Wu Top 5 would be:

1. Liquid Swords
2. 36 Chambers
3. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Then, to simplify it as much as I can...

T-4. Wu-Tang Forever
T-4. Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

In my book, those two are pretty much dead even. Forever is a double disc, and does have some skippable tracks, IMO. Not many, but still at least a couple. It's a case of more songs, so more likely to have a miss or two. Example: I never really cared for that Black Shampoo song. But, with two discs of greatness, it is forgivable.

Never heard, keep putting them off for some reason even though I like every single they had put out. Has it aged well?

Hell yeah, Kev. This one still has tons of replay value IMO. I think it's the best produced Wu album not handled by RZA.

So I need to get this one and what other one? This is their 1st album or the 2nd one?

This is their first. If you're looking for another Killarmy rec, i'd get Dirty Weaponry.

Yeah thats the one. I'll get links to them and see if I want to buy a physical.

I listened to this today after a long time between listens. I knew i loved it but damn, I should have voted top 10. Wake Up has to be my favorite track here. 4th Disciple killed on this album.

Dammit. Since we did this vote I haven't been able to take this out of rotation. I'm stuck on it. I like to keep changing things in and out of rotation but i can't do it this time. Thanks alot.
