Title: This is not the album to redeem the Wu
Product review: I really wanted this to be good. But I was disappointed again by the Wu. There are three problems with this album: the beats, the lyrics and the vocal delivery. In other words, there's not much I can praise about it. The beats are mostly repetitive samples from old soul tunes. The soundscapes are at their best dull, and at worst irritating. The lyrics are too esoteric - Ghostface Killah's jargon is often unpenetrable. The lyrical content becomes unintelligible and is reduced to background noise - which is great if you're looking for wallpaper music. The vocal delivery is flat and monotone - there are no interesting changes in rythmn, tone or accent. Very little to please me here. As a fan of the Wu's early work, I'm disappointed again.
