I don't think it's a worse album than 36Chambers. The production was better and it was far better lyrically. But it is different. One of the reasons we fell in love with the Wu was their rawness which is why i think 36 Chambers was better.

Plus having Cappa and U God all over the album is an L all by itself

But U God showed up something serious for this one.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

U-God didn't bother me on this album

I'm just not a fan of Cappdonna at all

But U God showed up something serious for this one.

He was decent imo but he already had a low bar to begin with

I think this album was when Ghost became the best in the Wu tho

 

[Pazzy]

forever was a disappointment. the w was a much better album.

Why'd you feel that way?

I still think rap wise, Deck was still the best.

Side note

Is it blasphemy if I believe U-God has the best verse on winter warz?

 

[Pazzy]

Why'd you feel that way?

think that the production for the most part was bad.

with the exception of rae and ghost as well as rza. the group seemed unfocused which it came out on the album. you can see that they were too comfortable and feeling themselves at that point where they lost their hunger. the energy and rawness on that first album was what made the group dope. forever, you can see that they lost that. they were just thrown in the studio and recorded that shyt without a plan. i think with the first string of wu albums, they were on a mission. they were unstoppable. i think the reason why they had such a run was because they really wanted to make a name for themselves. if rza, u god, deck and killa put out albums around that time between 36 and before forever was made, they would have forever change the direction of rap but guess it wasn't meant to be, that flood and all. when that forever album came out, it was over. they fell off.

I would take 36 chambers over the forever album

Amazing, and possibly the most underrated Wu album. By far, the best hip-hop double album.

1. Where does it rank as a double disc LP?

#2 behind Songs in the Key of Life

1. Where does it rank as a Wu-Tang Clan album (group)?

#2

1. If you could make the album into one disc, what would it look like?

Don't know

1. How would you tier the tracks?

Hmm I'll do this later

1. Favourite verse on the album?

Deck on For Heavens Sake/Heaterz or Ghost on Impossible

1. Rate the album out of 10

9.5/10

 

[choc_cardigan]

This album is the climax of my wu stanning. Way too hard to pick a favorite song, but if you put a gun to my head it's for heaven's sake. 9.5 and I did not think this album was unfocused, this was wu at its apex.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

Just realized I forgot this in my top 50

Couldn't disagree more but respect your opinion.
