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

as good as enter the 36 chambers.......2005-08-16

"The children are the future, and Wu-Tang is for the babies" -Method Man

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.

BUY THIS AND ENTER THE 36 CHAMBERS

Forever.......2007-07-22

By far my favorite Wu-Tang Clan CD. A fan since the 90's, this was a great compilation of hits and all the songs flowed together. Great CD for any Wu fan.

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

Peace

Yo The First Track on the record makes this record a dub piece then all the rest of the songs is bonus songs yo the Gods some of the only brothers bringing the Science of Islam at least attempting rather to open up the black minds in our people but yo they did they Job straight up my niggs The Black Man is God!

Best Group Album Ever, Best Wu Album Ever.......2006-01-23

Only track I skip is Black Shampoo, other than that this album is dazzling and there is no filler. They took their time and came up with a classic, what all artists should do.

Its one of my favourite hip hop cd's.......2001-01-14

This is an overall well balanced cd with just the right mix of songs, the beats are superb (hear the violins go crazy at the end of reunited) The samples from kung fu movies fit perfectly with the songs, and the lyrics are masterpieces, among my favourite tracks are reunited, dog shit,triumph, severe punishment, and visionz. but there is not one song in the 2 cd's ill skip, the album is well worth your money.

Wu-Tang:Best in the World........2000-05-07

Wu-tang came out with a wonderful double CD in 97' . Their was a number of hit list songs on it that weren't even seen on Much Music or any countdowns.

WU-TANG 4 ever.......2000-01-14

At first i was a bit un-easy seeing if it will be as good as Enter the 36th Chambers but as soon as i put the first track i was amazed at how much they've progressed in two years not only did some of the members bring out solo albums but there style was still fresh from day one but even more fresher. After hearing the whole album i felt revived and clensed and previliged to hear the Wu-Tang Clan back on one album,

4.5 mics.......2001-01-19

i remember when i bought this cd that i really was disappointed with it becuase it didn't live to cuban linx and ironman with the beats. i look back at the cd now and i think that it was a classic because all 9 members(with exception of odb) where at there lyrical best. the wutang accomplished what they set out to do which was to make you "listen to the lyrics and feel the beats" like ghostface said in the May issue of the Source. people complained that this cd didn't have the beats but it wasn't supposed to. it was all about the lyrics on this one and they did a good job showing that they had vastly improved and matured lyrically. Rza got a chance to expirament on this album and sometimes he came up with some beats that were not wack but they did not live up to cuban linx or ironman which is why a lot people, especially wu-fans, condemned this cd. don't get me wrong though, because this cd definately had some scandalous bangers that were oozing that old classic venom. the bangers: 2,3,4,5,9,10,disc one;2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14( 11,14 grew on me)disc two. if you like lyrics then you need to get this cd and if you are a wu-fan who dissed this cd then you need mature by getting of this "cuban linx or nothing" attitude because this cd is not perfect but its definately dope.

The Track that made Wu-Tang what they are today........1999-10-25

Wu-Tang Forever is on a level that no other album can come close to touchin. The beats, lyrics, intros, style, everything is on this track. If your a wu fan, and even if your not, you gotta get this. This is what seperates wu-Tang from other wet Mc's. Just listen to "Triumph" on disc two and you'll know what I mean.

A cd that can't be missed out on!.......1999-09-11

This is the most cherished cd in my collection, if you don't have it you're missing out on alot.

No one on the planet will ever get with the wu-tang clan.......1999-04-20

Wu tang forever was tha last LP that tha clan all got together and show the world what hip-hop really is.Don't get me wrong KIlla Bees Vol.1 and Wu-Cronicles was both off the meat hook.But that Wu-Tang forever will always live .If you eva need a reality check just check out the album and play track NO.2 on disk one and two.Reunited and Triumph.Don't forget you don't just play with hip-hop,it's all about the lyrics.The flow that I'm tring to send out is that tha 36 chambers will never fall below anyone.Don't get me wrong I live by my music,But I'm not someone to jump on a hip-hop bandwagon like everyone did the no-limit soldiers. The tank dogs have taken rap to a new level also, and as the years go by they will be respected like the clan. Theres no other music like T-dogs produce and thats what makes them infamous.But what I'm stressing is the Godfather of Hip-hop is the Wu-family and its master ''TICAL.'' Theres no other like the shaolin style and there never will be.
