always liked the bass line on that
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
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?
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:01 (six years ago) link
hey I'm still assembling my ballot!
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:16 (six years ago) link
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.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link
im gonna have to do a lot of listening for this--gonna go through each of the 1st gen albums at least twice
― bodak horseman (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:28 (six years ago) link
I don't want to overstuff my ballot with Ghost tracks
I think it's inevitable since he's without question had the most solid solo career
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link
yeah a really good hit to miss ratio plus a steady stream of releases.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:35 (six years ago) link
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
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link
nearly done with the singles playlist... fun to listen to these songs randomly. finding some i had never heard!

yeah meth was supposed to be the star
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:47 (six years ago) link
and in some ways he was, right? I feel like he definitely had a higher commercial profile + hit ratio, altho maybe all the acting gigs distort that.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:51 (six years ago) link
yeah i guess. just seems like he hit a cliff after Blackout
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:53 (six years ago) link
blackout 2 has some jams
― bodak horseman (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link
looking at Meth's singles chart postings it looks like his peak era was already over by '96 tho lol.
But he has a number one, and I don't think Ghost has ever even broken the top 10
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link
probably gonna vote for at least one of its tracks

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?
