Honestly there is some revisionist hate when it comes to this album. It is a Classic no doubt but for Wu fans I don't think they were happy with the whole Double LP trend. It's hard to pull off a cohiesive double LP. But it's funny considering 97 was in the thick of the Jiggy Era. It seems to me Wu Tang Forever DMX'ed the game before DMX did. The sh!t was hardbody. I love the album till this day and it was Wu's last great album. Everything after that was hit or miss. My joints was "Bells of War" and "MGM" they were just too tough and they were back to back. Also this album went #1 on the charts selling over 600k copies. A WU TANG ALBUM was that commercial on the pop charts with no real pop singles. Think about that.
and you ended up as a butler like pops and pops-pop.

It signified the end of the wu sound which ruined the group
While rza had a few crazy joints he also had some boring ass beats he just wasnt the same when he stopped sampling

I didn't like it as much as I wanted to.
At that time, a whole double album of the Wu (who to me had done no wrong up until then) had me hyped. I thought this shyt was gonna kill everything before or after it in hip-hop. So I guess maybe I built myself up for it too much. But alot of that joint just sounds lazy and random. There's a great single album somewhere in there, but all the extra joints just take away from it. I used to skip all over them discs. The great stuff was incredible... even the lesser-appreciated joints like Heaterz... but then there's other shyt that's like...eh.

banger after banger. Obviously has some filler, but what double album doesn't?

It had a bunch of filler, and could have been 1 disc musically and the enhance stuff couldve been a extra.
But it was cliche to drop double disc at the time, one of the loop hole the industry exposed to double sales
