That shyt grew on me after the first few listens. It's a good album but it definitely lacked the chemistry of even the lesser efforts. It's crazy how the secondary members held the album down.

How did ya'll rate this nearly 5 years on?

If you take it out of context and ignore other Wu albums it's a very dope album, RZA evolved his sound for the better but got shytted on not only by fans but certain member of his own group. I don't blame him for making movies with Tarantino while Deck is making dubstep albums.

It's comfortably the 3rd best Wu album for me.

tbh i think this abum was unfairly on, and people jumped on the bandwagon, basically it wasnt what people expected to hear for a new wu-tang album which is fair enough, but its still a good album never the less, sure it lacks the chemistry from previous albums but a lot of albums do these days thanks to the internet and people emailing verses etc.. but i can still listen to this right the way through without skipping.. also dont understand why people hate the beat to starter.. i thought tht was dope... :salute:

Only song on 8 Diagrams that I like is Windmill


All them other songs were very very weak and it’s mostly because the production was ass

Them beats were not what the Clan needed

RZA was on his wannabe composer shyt
