Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Really bad lyrics
It sounds good. `All in together now's a really good track.
But...

GZA's lyrics are on the turn. Someone earlier said that the lyrics of `Queens Gambit' were really good. Well... here's an example:

She dated jolly green GIANTS, that, flew on JETS
An A-list actress, who was never walked off sets
She loved stuffed animals, especially BEARS

I think they're pretty bad.
If you like the lyrics then it's probably worth four stars. But for me ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb
This is a great cd, with nothing but the pure hip hop. They don't make so many of that kind nowdays so be sure to pick it up!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DJ Muggs and GZA "Grandmasters"
I picked up this CD a little late(earlier this year) and I am somewhat angered that I didn't get it sooner. DJ Muggs(of Cypress Hill) and GZA/Genius(of Wu-Tang Clan) have terrific chemistry and collaberation on this album. I did not hear any of the earlier production from Cypress Hill and did not hear any of Muggs's style, so I was not sure what to expect beatwise on this CD. However, I am a big Wu-Tang fan and GZA is my secong fav in the group so I figured it would be worthwhile. The CD is packed ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A stunning return to form! Liquid Swords fans rejoice!
Been listening to Wu since I first heard 36 Chambers back in '93. My favorite album of all time is Liquid Swords. This album is 100% off the hook. It's like a time machine back to when RZA was a genius, and it's not even him doing the work this time! GZA is strong as always, but as you know, it's the music that makes something memorable. Track 8 "All in Together Now" is an absolute stunner and will put a big dumb grin on your face. Run, don't walk, and get this one! Best Wu-anything since Supreme Clientèle, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BEST HIP-HOP ALBUM UP TO DATE...
Been years since I purchased a Hip-Hop album, with the recent purchases by far the best album to date, due to not only the solid by DJ Muggs, but with the rhymes by the GZA the Genius. The concept of the album is about chess in leaning towards life's lessons in my opinion. I can see more of collaborations of this caliber sometime in the future in more of The Wu-Tang's Reunion if possible, to even Raekwon's upcoming album, "Cuban Links 2"(imagine that).

I recommend this album for serious hip-hop ... Read More
