I really loved Beneath the Surface (the alb) when it dropped and after re-listening I think it holds up. Top tier wu album, easily his 2nd best and only GZA full length you need to concern yourself w outside of Liquid Swords. I think it's my favorite 'sounding' wu album, great bass.

Shakey, what's your fav WU album. you said you ranked something over 36 chambers?

oh sorry i figured you had that choice nailed down
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
there's no disputing that 36 Chambers is all-time game-changing classic, with zero filler or bad tracks. at the same time, it isn't the one I return to the most, and it's p rare that I go back and listen to it all the way through. if I'm being honest I prefer the overall sound of Wu-Tang Forever (even if there are certain tracks that get skipped every time), or the cleaner production and gangster mythologizing on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, or the non-stop grimy insanity of the first ODB record. I go back to those more.

looking back it's a pretty interesting development, I don't think anyone would have predicted from the outset that Ghost would be the breakout critical (if not commercial) star with the deepest catalog

Planning on voting as well, and really enjoying going through the playlist and discovering some new gems.

― cwkiii, Thursday, 5 October 2017 00:52 (six years ago) link
listening to the albums in the order they were released, tbh I think 36 Chambers is gonna end up towards the bottom of my top 5. Sacrilege, I know.
The arc of RZA's evolution as a producer is really interesting, esp because the first album seems to come out of left-field and bears next to no resemblance to that dominant sounds on the east coast (Puffy/Biggie) and the west coast (Dre/Snoop/2-Pac) at the time that were clearly leading the way through rap's big crossover pop moment. RZA was drawing from a different, very NY-centric tradition though (I think Muggs/Cypress Hill is a notable exception/precedent), and you can hear these echoes of Juice Crew/Marley Marl, Premier, Pete Rock, even the Native Tongues, in the way the beats sound and the way the songs are structured and put together. What's different and sets it apart is the actual content/imagery of all the kung-fu film stuff, and the dusty, gritty, almost tinny sound of it. There is not a ton of low end on this record, but there is tons of distortion, noise, and weirdly chopped samples. And it's all fascinating but tbh I don't think it actually *sounds* as good as a bunch of stuff that came later as he refined his approach. By the time he gets to the Dirty album, something like "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" really bangs - minimalist as it is there's a depth and widescreen-appeal to the sound, everything is carefully placed and panned in the mix for maximum impact, the haze of the first album and Tical (which is muddy as *fuck*, the whole thing sounds underwater) is still deployed but it's more skillful, less sloppy.
And then by the time he gets to Cuban Linx (probably the peak imo) shit is sounding downright shiny and polished.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link
and oddly I feel like the back half of 36 Chambers - from C.R.E.A.M. on - is where it really hits it's stride
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:37 (six years ago) link
also jfc getting this down to 36 tracks for my ballot is gonna be a bitch
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:08 (six years ago) link
my first run through of just the albums I own (a little more than a dozen) yielded 60 tracks, and I've only just started to check out the Spotify playlist.
― bodak horseman (voodoo chili), Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:11 (six years ago) link
Think Rza himself said he stole the most from Prince Paul xps. good post tho.
Tical is pretty great sounding in it's murkiness. The bass is so maxed out and sloppy. Def pushes my sub to extremes.
― Spottie, Thursday, 5 October 2017 18:57 (six years ago) link
yeah iirc he cites Paul in the Wu-Tang Manual and they obviously had a personal connection. I get that Paul paved the way for being "weird" with the skits and samples and RZA ran with that, no doubt. but I don't really hear a lot of De La or Stetsasonic or 3rd Bass (lol) in that first album. the lo-fi grittiness reminds me more Marley Marl or BDP, it's the raw, scratchy loops.

Almost done with my ballot, but want to say that I think this is interesting and otm:
The arc of RZA's evolution as a producer is really interesting, esp because the first album seems to come out of left-field and bears next to no resemblance to that dominant sounds on the east coast (Puffy/Biggie) and the west coast (Dre/Snoop/2-Pac) at the time that were clearly leading the way through rap's big crossover pop moment. ... And it's all fascinating but tbh I don't think it actually *sounds* as good as a bunch of stuff that came later as he refined his approach. By the time he gets to the Dirty album, something like "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" really bangs - minimalist as it is there's a depth and widescreen-appeal to the sound, everything is carefully placed and panned in the mix for maximum impact, the haze of the first album and Tical (which is muddy as *fuck*, the whole thing sounds underwater) is still deployed but it's more skillful, less sloppy.
Revisiting the albums in release order has been really interesting in seeing how much the RZA grows as a producer in just a few years, but also how much each of the members develops quickly. Rae is basically yelling throughout the first album, but by Ironman his raps have this great range and each line is just packed with syllables. Meth, too, I don't think he's that all that great on 36 Chambers even with his ample charisma, but by Forever every one of his lines kills me.
― intheblanks, Sunday, 15 October 2017 00:42 (six years ago) link
I will say that Tical has suffered most on relistening, the production feels notably weaker than the other "first four" releases. I don't mind muddiness generally, but it's just not that interesting and it starts to feel like a slog to me. And I don't think they had figured out that they should pack their solo albums with guest appearances, that a record can still project a singular vision without one rapper providing almost every verse
― intheblanks, Sunday, 15 October 2017 00:49 (six years ago) link
"not *as* interesting" is what I meant in that second sentence there; it's still a very good record

Spottie just wanted to make sure you got my ballot, sent it about a week ago. Looking forward to this eventual rollout
― intheblanks, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:17 (six years ago) link
Got it thanks!
Only got one more ballot with the extension. Not really sure how to proceed?
― Spottie, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:20 (six years ago) link
in my experience you have to bump this thread like every day to remind people to vote in it
otherwise folks just forget
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:21 (six years ago) link
how many ballots do you have so far?
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link
11 including mine.
xp yeah usually that just happens kinda naturally with the normal back and forth and campaigning etc, hasn't really taken off like that.
― Spottie, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:32 (six years ago) link
I will get you a ballot tonight if you can find it in yr heart to let it sneak through late. again sorry
― calumerio, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link
send it whenever, think we gotta try one more extension. Maybe a mod can update the date in the title to "(Deadline extended to Oct 31)" ?

Excited for the roll-out on this, haven't really campaigned for anything because my wu-opinions are fairly orthodox and it's not like an album like OB4CL needs extra repping here. How many ballots have been submitted?

man those full catalog worst to best breakdown lists are exhausting
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 November 2017 03:21 (six years ago) link
that mass appeal list is so lazy, just 92 songs presented with a quote from each, no criticism or engaging with the songs
believe it was rushomancy who demonstrated the format's potential in his breakdown of every pink floyd song, that list ruled

fwiw I would've voted for more "The W" songs if it weren't for the fact that almost every track on that album is actually 2 or 3 different songs randomly cut together.
