This debut revolutionized hip-hop (and launched half a dozen solo careers), as much for The RZA's raw barrage of off-kilter, off-key loops and sound effects as for its elliptically violent lyrics. Martial arts--at least as they appear in kung fu movies--are the Wu-Tang Clan's favorite metaphor, but they're also the organizing principle of the group, a crowd of eight rappers, each with his own way-out-there "fighting style." They created their own little self-contained culture, with its own symbols and shifting identities, and let listeners figure it out for themselves. Unless you're willing to immerse yourself in its world, it can be baffling and a little dry, but its aggression and originality are undeniable. --Douglas Wolk

Sad dat ain like diz no more.......2007-06-03

I miss when hip hop sounded like diz and still i be bumpin diz album all day every day! Wutang clan's "enter the wu-tang ( 36 chambers)" should be in every real hip hop fan's collection. If you dont own it and you call yo self a true hip hop fan den you need to get beat down. Triple highly recommended.

Killer Bees Swarming.......2007-04-26

Incorporating diciplined martial arts tactics including the group's name, Wu-Tang Clan, pierced through the industry with their debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). "Bring Da Ruckus" introduces the album and the clan with a slow, dark instrumentation with hints of ancient effects. Unselfishly sharing verses, four of the eight members slash through the track with lyrical wisardry. Picking up the pace on "Shame On A Nigga" is a direct blow with combining off keyed production with perfection. The Genius also known as The Gza stepped center stage on "Clan In Da Front" as the remaining members chant "...Wu, Wu, Wu..." bringing the clan to the forefront. Providing lyrical arsenal without any need for gimmicks, hook or chorus, "Wu-Tang: 7th Chamber" -Part I and II as six of the members flow back to back in unison and individualism with contents such as "...rap assassin / fastin'..." The same formula could be found on "Protect Ya Neck" with only a bridge to gap the diversity. "Can It Be All So Simple" mostly dedicated to the streets by Raekwon and Ghost Face Killer flows with finess over the looped overpowering guitar strum. The one, two kick drum accompanied by an Oriental themed keys on "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'" contributed to the LP's concept with Wu-Tang's signature sound. Continuing with "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit" they proved how tightly knit the group is going in any direction or angle. The title "C.R.E.A.M." soon made it to be a household slang for cash rules everything around me or better yet "...dollar, dollar bill y'all..." Member and title "Method Man" enlighten the dim surroundings with simple keys to compliment the rhaspy, energetic flow. Completing a 360 angle, "Tearz" contains tales of street life and decisions one make told by The Rza and Ghost Face Killer respectively. All production and arrangement was held down by member Prince Rakeem also known as The Rza that tailored the style and signature of the group to perfection. For its time and to date no other group with this many members come togher to create a timeless piece or classic the closest would be the earlier Three 6 Mafia material. The Rza, The Gza, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspector Deck, Raekwon The Chief, U-God, Ghost Face Killer and Method Man strikes as if it is retaliation, but their nitche was loosely guarded as they made an entrance.

Classic East coast album.......2007-04-17

Not many groups can make a slammin classic album and not many can carry a whole coast on their backs but Wutang was able to do that with this Masterpiece of an album. For starters everybody shines on here like ODB(RIP) rips Shame On A N***A to pieces and has an excellent verse on Protect Ya Neck. Inspectah Deck kills it on Clan In Da Front and Protect Ya Neck and others. Method Man of course was on fire back with Method Man. Raekwon and Ghostface murders Can It Be All So Simple plus Rae's verse on C.R.E.A. M. is still potent to this day. And of course RZA perfected the beats and his rhymes were superb on Wutang Clan Aint Nothing To F*** Wit and Tearz. Standout Tracks: SHAME ON A N****, CLAN IN DA FRONT, C.R.E.A.M., CAN IT BE AL SO SIMPLE, METHOD MAN(M E T H O D Man), DA MYSTERY OF CHESSBOXIN', PROTECT YA NECK, WUTANG CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F*** WIT, TEARZ etc. Filler: NONE! Bottom Line: Wutang Clan's first album is a classic that is one of the best albums of 94. The whole album can be listened to from beginning to end without skipping tracks. Its unfortunate that they got lazy after Wutang Forever but thats life. I suggest you pick it up if you can because albums like these are hard to find. Its like somebody is intentionally trying to erase our memory of what hip hop truly is.

One of the greatest hiphop albums, period!.......2007-03-26

Yes, this one is one of the greatest hip hop albums to have come out. Don't really need to say anymore than that.

As the New York Times put it when Danny Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana was performed live at Carnegie Hall in February 2005: "Better good Hollywood music than second-rate Brahms." Elfman, better known for his soundtracks to Tim Burton movies, had been commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra to write a concert work, and the Serenada Schizophrana in six movements was the result. It appears here under the baton of John Mauceri, known for his crossover work with Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Fans of Elfman's soundtracks won't be disappointed—or even very much surprised—by this venture into the concert hall. The composer's style remains very much the same, probably because his habitual orchestrator, Steve Bartek (whose contribution is crucial to Elfman's sound), worked on four movements, with Edgardo Simone handling the remaining two. Blending Bernard Herrmann, Duke Ellington, Max Steiner, and especially JG Thirlwell (a.k.a. big-band industrialist Foetus), Elfman has come up with an audience-friendly piece that actually sounds more convincing than similarly high-reaching works by Paul McCartney or Elvis Costello.--Elisabeth Vincentelli

A soundtrack without a movie.......2007-06-27

Danny Elfman is one of Hollywood's most talented score writers, with more than 100 movie soundtracks under his belt. His musical arrangements never fail to impress, and he has an almost mystical ability to match the mood of his music to the action on-screen -- particularly when he's working with filmmaker Tim Burton.

Commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra, this symphonic piece gave the former Oingo Boingo frontman a new challenge -- working without the visual cues of a movie to inspire him. But, while the resulting tracks are entertaining on an aural level, they still sound like a soundtrack to me. And, without my own visual memories to accompany the music, my imagination filled them in -- I mostly saw scenes of Johnny Depp emoting or the stop-action hijinks of a skellington at play. Appropriately, it was later picked for use as a soundtrack for the IMAX film, Deep Sea 3D.

So really, it's simple. If you enjoy Elfman's soundtrack work, get this and you'll love it. If you think soundtracks should only be heard in the background of a film, skip this or get yourself to an IMAX theater for a little underwater exploration with narrators Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet and, of course, Elfman.

ohh weird!.......2007-04-26

Weird and Good! You can definitely identify it being an Elfman work. I really enjoy this ride. I would like to see a modern ballet put to this!

Danny Elfman turns the music world on it's ear........2007-04-13

Mr. Elfman is always traveling new roads in discovering what he can accomplish. "Serenada Schizophrana" is a good example of starting at square one and producing a whole new world for our ears to digest. In a musical landscape as far away from mainstream, one would expect no less than ears that could digest. Mr. Elfman is always flexing his artistic muscles, we can expect more greatness in his career.

Elfman's Classical Album a Must Have.......2007-03-20

This is vintage Danny Elfman but on the grand level of a full orchestral classical recording. I played this for my students, and they love the dark recording. A fantastic album.

Danny Elfman's masterpiece..........2007-02-14

Danny Elfman has long been a favorite of mine, going all the way back to his days with Oingo Boingo. I've been following his career closely since I heard his Beetlejuice score in 1988. He followed it with the classic Batman score in 1989. He made wonderful music throughout the nineties, often accompanying Tim Burton's films (he scored all of them save for Ed Wood). In my opinion, it took until 1999 to surpass his work on Batman, with the release of the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack. And now, with the release of Serenada Schizophrana, Sleepy Hollow has been dethroned. It'll take an impressive score to take this last composition's place.

This orchestral suite showcases Elfman's versatile influences and he sounds better than ever. Sometimes dark, other times playful with more quiet and subtle parts, this was a completely different project than his usual film scores. He had a lot of freedom for this symphony and it shows. Serenada is divided in 7 movements and contains a bonus track.

If some of the cuts sound familiar, it's because it was heavily featured in last year's Imax film Deep Sea 3D, narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. It fit perfectly well with the mysterious underwater world unfolding in 3D on the oversized screen.

If you're a fan of Elfman's, you'll love Serenada. If you love movie scores, chances are you'll enjoy it too. The only downside with this CD has nothing to do with its content, but rather with its encoding. This is a SACD (Super Audio CD) and therefore will not be playable on your computer. It is designed for super audio players so you might want to check if your CD player can play it. It plays fine on mine and on my DVD player. The sound quality is much clearer than your average CD, but I find it disappointing that I'm not able to listen to this great suite on my IPod. Still, it's well worth it for the opening track alone!

Given RZA's work on both the Ghost Dog and Kill Bill soundtracks, it's no surprise to see the venerable Wu-Tang producer tackling Afro Samurai. However, unlike the previous albums, where RZA more or less created scores, the Afro Samurai soundtrack is a mix of instrumental and conventional rap songs, featuring an eclectic mix of MCs, including Talib Kweli, GZA, True Master, and RZA himself. There are some strange tracks here, none more so than the maple syrupy R&B songs featuring Stone Mecca or Baby. The instrumentals, removed from the context of the movie, are themes rather than fully fleshed out songs but a few, like "Afro's Father Fight" are tantalizingly fast, furious, and funky. The rap songs hold some surprises, such as Q-Tip popping up on "Just a Lil Dude," or veteran Big Daddy Kane sparking off the dramatic "Cameo Afro." Fans of RZA's past albums, especially his Bobby Digital projects, will find Afro Samurai to their liking, but for those expecting a classic Wu-Tang album, they might be left lost in the oft-jarring mix of sounds. --Oliver Wang

afrolicious.......2007-07-09

this is a good soundtrack. if you haven't seen the Afro Samurai series before you listen to this, it will make you wanna see it.

response.......2007-05-27

This is the most retarded review ever written on the internet). Do you not now Kool Keith precedes the RZA. Ultramagnetics mean anything to you? Bobby Digital came out around 98, by then Keith had already released the Cenubites and Dr. Octogan projects/aliases. FYI: Keith gripes that RZA stole his idea and has a picture on one of his cds, for a character by the name of Bobby Analog (or something like that, making fun of RZA and what he percieves as the RZA and Andree 3000 emulating his penchant for alter egos.) "It's because of RZA that I lisent to hip-hop." I respect that but know real hip hop was around before the clan (referance Organized Confusion for starters) (BS below-)

Before it was cool to be an evil genius, RZA was doing it; in fact, he's arguably the man who set the blueprint for emcees like MF DOOM and the various bugged-out personas Kool Keith would adopt later in his career. It's because of RZA that I even listen to hip-hop today, and I'm eternally indebted to Rakeem for introducing me to my favorite genre. So, it comes as no surprise that I was eagerly awaiting the release of the first entirely(well, for the most part) RZA-produced album since 2003's Birth of a Prince. However, the soundtrack concept is a gift and a curse with this release.

AFRO SAMURAI.......2007-05-13

KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS IS A SOUND TRACK I GIVE IT POINTS FROM A MUSICAL STAND POINT. RZA WAS NOT AFRAID TO SHOW US YET ANOTHER SIDE OF HIS CREATIVITY. THE COLLABO'S WERE GOOD IF YOU KNOW WHO TALEB AND BIG DADDY ARE. THE SLOW R&B SONGS WERE SOULFUL. THE SAMPLES FROM THE MOVIE WERE PUT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AS YOU GO TO THE NEXT SONG, LIKE INTERLUDES. THE BONUS BOBBY DIGITAL SONGS ARE ARE DECENT TOO. RZA LIKES TO ZIG ZAG ALOT. IF YOU ARE A VERSATILE OPEN MINDED LISTENER, THIS ALBUM IS FOR YOU.

A great soundtrack for a great show.......2007-03-20

The RZA has done a fantastic job on the Afro Samurai soundtrack. He does a great job of mixing hip hop elements with the oriental style music and tunes that are remenicent of the great 70s kung fu movies. And we are also treated to a few bonus trancks from RZA's alter-ego, Bobby Digital, that are off the hook too. Definately a great buy for anyone who loved Afro Samurai.

Dope RZA CD.......2007-03-15

This is a awesome rap CD. RZA is the king of these grudge beats. If you hate mainstream rap then you should listen to this CD. :)

By this long-delayed, massively anticipated album, the Wu had become less a crew than a small country, with dozens of central and auxiliary members, and rap styles so twisted they seem like another, private language. Without even a hint of anything for radio or casual listeners to latch onto, Wu-Tang Forever sprawls out for nearly two hours, and--taken as pure sound--it's about the most avant-garde No. 1 album ever, with deliberately bizarre production (out-of-tune and off-rhythm loops, even what sounds like a string quartet) and relentless torrents of cryptic, furious words. It demands repeated listens and careful attention to begin penetrating the mysteries of this dense, passionate, unique piece of work. --Douglas Wolk

"The Saga continues...Wu Tang...Wu Tang".......2006-04-08

First let me start off by saying this is an outstanding album and even though its not a perfect 5/5 for me like the original 36 Chambers(if you havent copped that already WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU)that doesnt mean its still not an amazing album because let me tell you...if you thought RZA braught you some amazing beats in the 36 chambers(and gzas amazing Liquid Swords and other Wu members solos)then you're in for a treat, cause Forever is chuck full of amazing tracks and lets start it off with my short lil review that i call The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

The Good
-Some of the tracks on this album are just amazing and can almost be put it up with the 36 chambers. RZA really put on alot of effort into making Wu Tang Forever a Classic and he did exactly that.

-Not only are the tracks amazing but RZAs beats are just ON POINT and perfect(especially "As High as Wu Tang Gets"). I just cant stop ranting on how well made these beats are. "Reunited" is a perfect example. RZA put together one of the best hip hop beats ever! Ive never ever heard the violen sampled so freaking well in a rap song!!!

-Masta Killa and U-God finally make there pressance felt in FOREVER! Sadly that was really the only flaw in 36 Chambers which was that 2 of the members(Masta Killa and U God)barley had any thing to say in that album, hell Masta Killa only raps in ONE Song(not to mention he has a really short line! Same gos for U God!). But fortunatley this is where FOREVER fixes the mistake that they had in the first album. SO YES you do get hear alot(trust me alot more then the last album)more of these 2 not to mention they drop some really amazing lines. Did I mention Masta Killa is my 2nd fav Wu Member?..

-Triumph....Its simple...amazing beats...every wu tang member leaving a mark to be made...nuff said

Now..

The Bad
-Maria?, Dog%$^ What is this!?! These tracks are just straight up WACK! Yes you heard me! Some of these tracks are just...NOT GOOD. C'mon now you guys no better then that! I really really tried getting into these but as hard as a I try I just cant get into these tracks which is why this album is a step below there first album :/

-RZA! WHAT HAPPEND. Which is what came to me in a few tracks. Some tracks are just really hard to get into and a pretty hard listen. Not just listen wise but beatwise there just not balanced and i really couldnt get into them especially tracks like BLAC SHAMPOO(WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!) Just like some of the tracks the beats are just straight up wack(like one of the last tracks)

-Sadly RZA didnt produce every song in this album :/


-There is Little to No appearance from my fav wu member of all the Genious GZA! He made such a name for himself in tracks like "Clan in Da Front" and now we barley even hear from him! I think hes only in like what, 3 tracks on disc one and almost none in disc 2! Same gos for O.D.B. Both O.D.B and GZA barley have anything to say in this album(and im not counting the tracks with O.D.B like Maria because those tracks are just plain bad)..seriously this dissapoints me. You guys finally make U-God and Masta Killa make them selves feel welcome in FOREVER but now you guys have to cut short on O.D.B and GZA? Give me a freaking break, though I won't deny it they do have there moments(especially "As High as Wu Tang Gets"..

-Just to put it for the record I hate CappaDonna..

The Ugly

-"Black Shampoo"...nuff said..

-Why did they make U-Gods solo song so HORRIBLE! Blackshampoo is just...BAD!...totally bad and somewhat cuddley beats mixed with U Gods awesome voice just seems really unbalanced. Its as if youre mixing Method mans voice to...ok ill shut up now

Now how did I feel about the tracks?...

As you can see Wu Tang Forever is a mix bag to many if you ask me just download and burn every good track on the album and put itinto one disc and just play all the really good ones and you wont have to skippy those crappy ones anymore(ugh especially Black Shampoo)

Overall I give Wu Tang Forever a

4.7/10

Still an Amazing Album COP IT

What the Blood Clot?.......2005-11-02

I cannot understand why people do not consider this some of the Wu's best work. The beats are brilliant. The rap is intelligent. The mixture is gold. Some of these tracks follow a more traditonal rap format, with choruses, intros, etc. but Forever is as close as you get to guys on the street rappin straight street poetry. These guys flow. The rap beyond b****** and h***. This stuff is Ministry.

5 stars reserved for 36 chambers.......2005-10-07

its 1997, and the wu-tang clan has had 6 classic albums (36 chambers, tical, liquid swords, return to the 36 chambers, only built 4 cuban linx, ironman), almost all with huge commercial success. how do you turn that into a 7th hit? make a double album backed with a banging #1 single. it obviously worked since the ablum went gold in the first week alone. but that commercial success is when the wu started losing some of their original touch. 36 chambers had 12 perfect tracks and fans only wanted more, but when 26 tracks come out at once there have to be some fillers alongside the classics (...).

all fillers ignored, however, this album is just killer. triumph, the #1 hit single features every member (odb only doing the intro tho). reunited, the street single, is my personal favorite on the album. rza innovates a little with violin loops instead of his usual keys and it turns out to be dope. odb and gza drop some of the best verses on the album on that song. gza and raekwon also kill on severe punishment with some funny kung-fu samples, and rza's production is top notch on songs like heaterz. deadly melody showcases masta killa's haunting rhyming skill over rza's usual eerie piano loops with tight verses from meth and ghostface too. as high as wu-tang gets is another one of the standout tracks, with meth and gza (probably the best wu members to work together as seen on shadowboxin' from liquid swords) rhyming over a funky rza beat with a dope bassline and a fun singing chorus from odb.

overall this album is one of the best from the 90s and an excellent sophomore attempt from the whole clan, not innovating too much but still offering something different from their first album. unfortunately their next 2 albums almost completely ditch the old wu-tang style and now they're just above-average rappers instead of the supergroup they once were.

R.I.P ODB.......2005-09-19

If i could give this album 10 Stars i would. Aight theres a lot of haters out there givin this album less than 3 stars... If you not a die heart Wu fan you will never like or understand this album. To me this album is perfect, only disapointment is that there is hardly any GZA on it, who is my personal favorite. If you love Raekwon this is going to be an amazing album for you to hear, he is everywhereee on this album. And i aint rating no tracks couse i am a true fan. Wu-tang 4 EVER

2005-2006 look out for Ghostface-fishcale/ GZA&Mugzs- the Grandmasters/ Raekwon- O.B.4.C.l Part2(I cant Wait) Inspectah Deck-The Rebellion/ ODB- A son Unique/ U-god- Mr. Excitement (In Stores NOW) Masta Killa- eat Coast In Da House/ MethodMan- (Title TBA)And The RZA- Return of the Prince, or Bobby Digital in 5:1

man, where do i start on this album? at first, when i bought it about a year ago, i didn't like it much. but after a while it grew on my and then i instantly became a Wu-addict, i went and got all the solo's i could find, bought the DVD when they were in San Bernadino, bought the CD to that and finally Rza's book, which is mighty awesome i might add. if you're a hi-hop fan, you'll buy this...if you claim youre a hip hop fan and buy Nelly, you need to jump off a cliff.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The Wu-Tang Clan have slimmed down on their lean and mean third album, both in title and in content. Clearly having learned a lesson from the ostentatious affair that was their last group effort, Wu-Tang Forever, The W weighs in at a taut 13 tracks, with little, if any, extraneous self-righteous solipsism. RZA returns to the boards for all but one track and proves that Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) was no fluke, manipulating ghoulish soul to chilling effect on "Hollow Bones" and dropping (and chopping) thunderous horns at the intro to "One Blood Under W" (which features a stellar turn from reggae don Junior Reid). The album's first two singles--"Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)" and "Gravel Pit"--are both fierce, propulsive numbers, inspiring the Wu collective--Ghostface Killah and Method Man in particular--to higher energy levels than they've displayed in years. Elsewhere, The W is Ghost's record, especially on the unhinged lament "I Can't Go to Sleep" and the prostrate plea "Jah World." Memorably, Snoop and ODB collaborate to comic effect on "Conditioner," and all the album's cameos--from Redman and Nas to Isaac Hayes and Busta Rhymes--show that the group is still as savvy as ever. On The W, the boasting is earned. --Jon Caramanica

"Clearly having learned a lesson from the ostentatious affair that was their last group effort, Wu-Tang Forever"

What?? Do they even listen to hip-hop? That album is so much better than this, I'm glad there's 2 discs of it. Wu-Tang Forever is a straight Wu banger, The W is where things start to get weird. Why? Cause it's from late 2000, almost 2001 of course, & Wu-Forever is from '97. More or less there's your answer, & the secret to finding & obtaining only the best hip-hop. Not that there weren't some dope releases in 2000, Kweli dropped his classic album w/Hi-Tek - Train of Thought by Reflection Eternal, Afu-Ra dropped a killer album, the D.I.T.C. cd came out then I think. But a lot of rappers were starting to slow down & deteriorate by the turn of the millenium & the Wu-Tang Clan as a whole are one of them. Some of the s*** on here is really weird, & you can tell by the album cover & the guest appearances this just isn't your good ol' Wu-Tang.

Something in the back went.... (clack, clack).......2006-10-01

The Wu is back for another album. I like this album for the different perspective they took on the album. the dynamic were changed and they werent afraid to try something new. a good buy and definately worth listening to.

In Comparison.......2006-01-20

to 36 Chambers, Forever, and Iron Flag, this is their worst CD. But if this is their worst CD, this is the dopest worst CD I've ever heard. Most of the beats are hot and the lyrics are on point. They colaborate with Nas, Busta Rhymes, Issac Hayes, Snoop Dogg, and Redman. They bring in some outside lyrics into the album. Not bad at all. Just a little softer than 36 Chambers and Forever, so there are some Wu fans that are going to be pissed. But I'm feeling this CD and I say it's a must buy.

My Intro to Hip Hop.......2006-07-05

I was 16 years old when this cd dropped, and I didn't listen to hip hop at all at the time. I was a skateboarder, and all I listened to was punk rock back then. I didn't really get the slang, styles, or concepts of hip hop; and I never really gave hip hop a chance before this cd came out. However, I do remember a lot of my friends telling me how nice The Wu were, and how excited they were when this cd was released.

After seeing the video for "Triumph" a few times, I knew that The Wu were dope. I didn't realize it at the time, but "Triumph" actually changed my whole perspective of hip hop. To this day, I believe that this song is the best posse cut ever. Inspectah Dek and Method Man jump start this song with incredible back to back verses, and the beat is epic. I've heard this song hundreds of times, but I still get amped whenever it's playing. Everyone spits a good verse on this song, and the energy of the track is incredible.

"It's Yourz" is another classic. This is a great closing track for disc 1. Similar to "Triumph", this song has a lot of energy. It also has a great hook. This time it's The Rza and Inspectah Dek who lace the track with the most memorable verses.

A lot of people hate on this cd, but I don't understand why. Although "Wu-Tang Forever" is not anywhere near as raw as "36 Chambers", it is definitely more lyrical. I don't agree with all these filler complaints either. I have listened to both of these discs repetitively for nearly a decade, and the only tracks I skip aren't actual songs.

My favorite tracks include:

Disc 1
Reunited-great verses from The Gza and Meth
Visionz-great Production from The Rza
Older Gods-love the beat and Ghostface's verse
It's Yourz-see Inspectah Dek verse

Disc 2
Triumph-The Anthem
Little Ghetto Boys-one of Cappadonna's more memorable verses
Hellz Wind Staff-dope song w/ martial arts vibe
Heaterz-another great beat courtesy of The Rza

The Last Words: Classic cd. It honestly changed my life.

First Track Pops it Off.......2006-05-03

In the beginning, soundtracks to Biblical movies adhered to a Hollywood template with more fidelity than most people attend to the Ten Commandments. The first commandment of Biblical film scores was: "Thou shalt render orchestral grandeur unto the epic as did Elmer Bernstein on The Ten Commandments and Miklos Rozsa on Ben-Hur." Peter Gabriel's score to The Last Temptation of Christ, released as Passion, changed all that like the Second Coming. His mix of world-music elements, wailing singers, and otherworldly electronics prevailed, influencing countless film scores and emulated to almost plagiaristic perfection by John Debney's soundtrack for The Passion of the Christ. Mychael Danna departs from that path on The Nativity Story, the 2006 film interpretation of Mary's journey. His sound is more medieval and classical than Middle Eastern. Rather than blowing Turkish duduks à la Gabriel and Debney, he uses recorders and wood flutes. He likes building from simple folk themes to extravagant expanses where a lone flute segues into a sweeping string arrangement that morphs into slowly cascading voices. He taps into Gregorian chant and plainsong, and even when he uses Persian vocalist Azam Ali (from Vas and Niyaz), he has her singing an Abbess Hildegard-style hymn called "Nazareth." But this is a Hollywood Biblical epic and Danna bends to another commandment of the genre: "Thou shalt wring tears and awe-inspired wonder." You don't need to see the film to know that the heavens must be opening--as they only do in Hollywood--on "And Thou Bethlehem." Danna's The Nativity Story isn't a sea change like Gabriel, but it is a new tributary. --John Diliberto

Album Description

This score follows not only Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, but the centuries of musical reverberations thereafter. It plants its humble seeds in the Middle East where the gentle tones of Persian and Turkish ney flutes articulate melodic figures, and strident Roman horns and drums bind Herod the Great's soldiers to the military terminology of the age. The score then blossoms from these seeds, extending its tendrils across centuries of European traditions. Pre-Baroque instruments such as viola da gamba, vielle, harp, and recorders guide the score westward with the elemental sounds of strings and winds. The second half of the soundtrack covers Mary's isolation and her relationship with Joseph by weaving throughout the choral writing and knitting the work together into a dramatic, reverent whole.

Wonder And Amazement.......2007-07-30

Mychael Danna was given the task of creating a score to a film about the greatest single Christmas gift ever given to the world. He's done an amazing job. From the somewhat chilling yet welcome opening of "Veni, Veni, Emanuel" to the driving terror of "Census" to the awe that is "And Thou Bethlehem," Danna has weaved a musical tapestry crossing numerous musical styles as well as history as a whole. From Middle Eastern sounds to Gregorian chant, Danna takes listeners (and viewers of the film) through Christianity's history via song.

This album is solemn some of the time, suspenseful at others, and even a little bit fear-inducing, but it is always wonderful. I highly recommend it to both fans of the film and to Christians as a whole. The movie is very powerful, but the music drives its great message home.

Highly recommended.

Worth the price of the CD.......2007-03-05

This soundtrack has THE most beautiful version of Silent Night I've ever heard; it's worth the price of the CD just to get that track. (Since the choral portion of the track is sung in Latin, it's called Silens Nox.) When I heard it in the movie, I immediately thrilled to it--it was so gorgeous I wanted to close my eyes and just drink in that glorious music...Bravo!

Beautiful!.......2007-02-22

This CD is the actual movie score containing all the beautiful music you heard throughout! It's soothing to listen to even when it's not the Christmas season!

Better Than Most Soundtracks Lately, but Too Solemn in Every Song.......2007-01-15

THE NATIVITY STORY SOUNDTRACK is a very good CD, but the songs don't stand alone as being great tunes all by themselves, just very decent tunes. The mood of the CD is very somber and solemn throughout, which is okay, but it would have benefited more if there were a bit more variety in the mood, across the entire CD.

THE NATIVITY STORY SOUNDTRACK is better than most CD soundtracks from other films, these days, but it still doesn't have too many memorable melodies to let the listener recognize which song is which.

Sometimes the music uses a hint of a classic Christmas carol, which is always the most distinguishable element of any of the songs. To be fair, this is a movie SOUNDTRACK of background music, and even though the best movie soundtracks contain famous melodies that are instantly recognizeable, (like STAR WARS or JAWS, among others), these most famous melodies are exceptions to the rule. These days, most soundtracks are just lucky to be decent souvenirs of the movie experience, until the film itself is finally released on DVD for home viewing.

If I didn't know this was the soundtrack to this great, underrated, and little seen movie, THE NATIVITY STORY, then I wouldn't be so interested in listening to this soundtrack at all. As it is, I like this CD as a way to help support the movie itself, and to listen to it around other folks, to help remind them that they need to eventually see this film.

I like listening to the CD the best using the back of the CD's song listing, so that I know which songs go with which scene from the film, using my memory. This helps to put the songs in perspective. Otherwise, all the songs start to become one long, indistinguishable session across the entire CD.

Though this soundtrack mostly lacks any really great melodies to use as landmarks throughout the CD, the instrumentation is VERY interesting and expertly researched and arranged! They use a lot of Middle Eastern musical instruments, with a touch of modern recording equipment tricks, and the sound itself is very pleasing and reverent.

I like seeing the film more than I like just listening to the soundtrack at home, of course, but unless I am reading THE NATIVITY STORY NOVEL, or looking through THE NATIVITY STORY GIFT BOOK, then I don't get much listening time out of this CD.

If you are wanting to get THE NATIVITY STORY experience at home, while waiting for the DVD release, then I would recommend THE NATIVITY STORY NOVEL, which has the whole story, and tons of great, extra Bible times details mixed into the story. You will learn a lot about the ancient times and customs and culture from THE NATIVITY STORY NOVEL. I like THE NATIVITY STORY NOVEL even better than the soundtrack, as far as movie souvenirs at home are concerned.

THE NATIVITY STORY GIFT BOOK is not as good as the STORY NOVEL. The GIFT BOOK has one large photo on most pages, but most of the chosen photos have already been used extensively in what little movie promotion was used, so you might not feel like you're seeing anything new, that hasn't already been seen online or in movie review photos. Most of the photos that are used are not very good at showing the movie scenes and events. The STORY NOVEL will ADD to your understanding of THE NATIVITY STORY in a way that the GIFT BOOK and MOVIE SOUNDTRACK do not.

CHILLING SCORE TO ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-12-12

I SAW THE MOVIE AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY, BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS MEMORABLE WITHOUT A GREAT SCORE TO HELP CARRY IT. TELLING THIS STORY ALONE IS POWERFUL ALL BY ITSELF, BUT THE POINT OF THIS MOVIE WAS TO CAPTURE PEOPLE IN WAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE, THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT THIS AMAZING SCORE. IT HELPED CARRY THE EMOTIONS OF THE CHARACTERS AND CREATE A HAUNTING MOOD FOR EACH SCENE. I WOULD NOT HAVE CRIED THE WAY I DID AT THE END WHEN JOSEPH IS CARRING MARY LOOKING FOR A ROOM IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE MUSIC SURROUNDING THIS SCENE WHICH SLOWLY TURNED FROM A MUSICAL PIECE TO CREATE SUSPENSE INTO A RIVITING VERSION OF CAROL OF THE BELLS. IT WAS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.
FROM THE MOMENT THE CREDITS OPENED TO THE ENDING CREDITS, THE MUSIC WAS INCREDIBLE INTENSE AND WORKED VERY WELL WITH EACH SCENE. SINCE THE MOVIE AND THE SOUNDTRACK, THIS MUSIC HAS LIVED INSIDE ME. THIS SOUNDTRACK IS ONE NOT TO BE MISSED. TRUST ME, YOUR CHRISTMAS MUSIC COLLECTION IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS SCORE WHICH DOES AN IMMACULATE JOB OF REMINDING US OF THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. BLESS ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS. PLEASE GO SEE THIS MOVIE AND THEN GO BUY THE SOUNDTRACK.

Andrew Cyrille?.......2007-05-04

About the missing "jazzy" song--I remember watching this movie and hearing Andrew Cyrille and Jimmie Lyons playing "Nuba One." I thought it was pretty surprising, considering the song is pretty far out for a Hollywood movie. The song is available on the "Nuba" album (first track), and you should be able to find a used copy here on Amazon. Too bad they didn't include it on the soundtrack--I thought it was a great part of the film and really set the tone. I hope this helps you in some way!

What's That Song?.......2007-04-17

The song that he plays in the car, it sounds like it's a jazz song. Its not on the OG soundtrack and it's neither on the Japanese soundtrack. (I own both).

Ghost Dog plays it in the car while it's raining, and no not the Rap song in the beginning of the movie or Reggae song I have those, I need the jazzy instrumental song, that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

A must for every ghost-faced killa.......2006-01-19

This version of the soundtrack a vastly superior to the US version...the dope beats throughout seem to divide into two seperate songs. The two tracks with participation by the rest of the Wu Tang Clan are especially fine.

The missing song.......2006-01-17

one song that this record doesnt include is the one that plays after ghost dog steals the first car. The song is "from then till now" by Killah Priest. just for those of you who like it too, it is included in "Heavy Mental" cd

Great soundtrack.......2005-08-20

Very good soundtrack, would be 5 stars, but it doesn't have all the songs from the movie, I have both the soundtrack and the score, but neither have the song I am looking for, I was looking for a track that was played after Ghost Dog stole the Lexus, but neither have it, still, GREAT soundtrack!

Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin and Shame on A Nigga are the best songs out of these. Can It Be All so Simple.. I have a hard time not reminicing to that one. This song needs to be played on mega speeks. Strictly crew songs here except Can It Be All and Method Man. Don't think you can replace Enter the 36 Chambers with this comp. You're missing too much good music. In fact notice that all songs are from WTC albums. Think about how many songs that WU made that aren't represented here?!?! I mean on the individual ODB, Meth, Genius albums. Whoah! Real WU collectors will look past this CD and put up those fedz.

These boyz are talented with the special gift of 'Vision for good rap & authentic lyrics' and that's not current. You don't see that often!

Greatest Hits of the Wu-Tang........2006-01-14

Given the uneven career of Wu-Tang Clan, ranging from undeniable classics like Enter The Wu-Tang 36 Chambers to weak (at best) efforts like Iron Flag, compiling a greatest hits package is bound to present some problems for its creators. The biggest question to answer: what can you offer to both people satisfied only owning their introduction, 36 Chambers, and those looking for an introduction to the group?

While creating a comparison to 36 Chambers would be impossible, Legend of the Wu-Tang: Wu-Tang Clan's Greatest Hits (BMG) serves a dual purpose: both as a Wu-Tang primer for the uninitiated and necessity for the diehard fan. Predictably, Legend draws heavily from the group's seminal debut 36 Chambers. Few groups, including Wu-Tang itself, would be able to top the success of 36 Chambers and it contributes nearly half the songs on Legend. To sweeten the deal for owners of 36 Chambers, alternate mixes of "Protect Ya Neck" and "Method Man" are provided. While the former is virtually indistinguishable from the original, the latter replaces the original with alternate verses and proves to be a highlight of the album.

In addition to the usual suspects from the "other three albums" - crowd bangers "Triumph," "Gravel Pit," etc. -- three more obscure songs previously released on non-Wu albums show up. The group sleeps through "Diesel" from the Soul in the Hole soundtrack, but fares slightly better on "Shaolin Worldwide" from the soundtrack to Next Friday and a cover of Run-D.M.C.'s "Sucker M.C.s" from 1997's In the Beginning...There Was Rap compilation.

In a perfect world, 36 Chambers goes the Ready to Die/Illmatic route and gets re-issued with remixes and rarities. But as it stands, Legend provides a solid overview of the Wu's career to date. Just make sure 36 Chambers is in your collection already.

The Wu-Tang warrior's second solo joint is so conceptually huge, only somebody who's been high every day for a decade could have imagined it: hip-hop album as science-fiction double-feature as celebrity parade as horror movie as multilayered masquerade as an endlessly Baroque flow of spiels and skits, hallucinatory fantasy, and killer-bee menace. The romantic strains of Tical have been replaced by pure, sweaty sex, and Meth's image transformation from laidback muscle to bloodthirsty cyborg (with a phone book's worth of guest stars) just means he compacts his flow more tightly. The production is the Wu standard of berserk little loops and spare boom-bap, though RZA's tracks are head and shoulders above those of his disciples. --Douglas Wolk

Customer Reviews:

I Like This World!!!.......2007-07-25

I remeber when I first heard this album I didnt give it a second listen. But now after hearing it again, its Method Man's best album next to Tical. Perfect World Is not a bad opener and Cradle Rock featuring Left Eye(RIP) is crazy. Dangerous Grounds should have been the first single seeing that it was better than Judgement Day. Method Man shuts it down disrespectfully on Torture and He kills an old school sample on Retro Godfather. Play IV Keeps featuring Mobb Deep, Inspectah Deck and Streetlife is a banger that was never promoted at all(and this song came out at a time when Prodigy was STILL NICE with the mic). Spazzola featuring Streetlife, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa and Killer Sin is another banger. The title track Judgement Day is not a bad single but it is a bad first single. This is a track that if you dont feel it the first time you might like it another time not a track that is going to make you get the album. Break Ups 2 Make Ups featuring D'Angelo is Method Man's story of his grimy ex-girl and its another standout. The only songs I didnt feel is Suspect Chin Music(suspect is the word) and Sweet Love feat Cappadonna and Streetlife. Plus all those skits(with the exception of the You Play Too Much skit) are pointless to say the least. Bottom Line: Tical 2000: Judgement Day is easily Method Man's most overlooked album and is his best work next to his first one. The production was great, Method Man was still nice with the pen and the guest appearances were great too. Whether you like this album or not doesnt matter but its still a hip hop album regardless, Tical O: The Prequel was pop rap so learn to differentiate the two. Standout Tracks: CRADLE ROCK, DANGEROUS GROUNDS, TORTURE, RETRO GODFATHER, SPAZZOLA, PARTY CRASHER, STEP BY STEP, PLAY IV KEEPS(my favorite), ELEMENTS, KILLIN FIELDS, BIG DOGS, BREAK UPS 2 MAKE UPS and JUDGEMENT DAY.

A Mini Masterpiece.......2006-08-30

This album is one of my Top 10 All-Time favorite hip hop albums. Sweet Love and Perfect World are the 2 best tracks on this release.

Method Man.......2006-03-30

I like this album a lot it has a lot of great songs but there are too many skits. It kind of reminds me of mixtapes with so many tracks you can only get so far and then you get kind of bored with some of the tracks. But Method smokes so much weed he probably was too high to care. But that does not matter because they are great songs on here and I will let you decide what those are. I recommend this to all rap fans great choice to add to your collection.

A good sophmore effort.......2006-01-25

The problem with so many tracks is that you can lose memntum and or originality and then adding so many guest stars (Left Eye, Mobb Deep, Streetlife, Capponada, Chris Rock, Ed Lover, Raekwon, Redman...just to name a very few) you can risk losing limelight. The greatest thing about this CD is that, while there is some filler, Meth never loses his footing on the floor. He is the star of this album and every guest just compliments Meth's ability to comand the album. In fact, my favorite song "step by step" doesn't even have a guest rapper. So if your a fan of the Wu-Man they call Method Man AKA Jonny Blaze AKA The Iron Lung AKA...no I'm just kiddin'...anyway, if your a fan of the man they call Meth then pick this up because whatever Meth puts his name on you know is gonna be hot!
