Reviews Customer Reviews for Wu Tang Forever      Wu-forever...the best...ever      Rating:      I think Wu-Tang Forever is one of the greatest albums ever made. Lyrically, it is the best. Production wise, one of the best. I can't understand the argument saying that the album is too long. Besides "Maria" every song on the album is an absolute banger. Perhaps they could've broken it into two albums for their own benefit, but I can't honestly say I've ever listened to one album for a longer period of time and enjoyed it. Every track has something for someone, and if you like Wu, you're in heaven. The album isn't like any other; most albums have a very succinct formula: Songs for the radio/women, songs about partying, and songs about being "hard." But Wu's contract allowed them more freedom from a production standpoint and the result is the most unique mainstream album in history. WORTH EVERY PENNY.     Customer Reviews for Wu Tang Forever Cd      4.7 stars!      Rating:      After bombarding the Hip Hop music scene with the '93 release of "Enter The Wu Tang: 36 Chambers", RZA (the king pin of the group) planned to go for solo albums among different Clan members before recording their follow up to the much successful debut. Five out of nine got to do a solo joint (all of which are rightfully considered classics in the Hip Hop world) before this follow up. Late fall of '94 saw the release of Method Man's "Tical." Early '95 saw the release of Ol' Dirty Bastard's bizarre "Return To The 36 Chambers" and the remainder of 95 saw the release's of what would be hailed as "the two best Wu Tang solo albums" - Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" and GZA's "Liquid Swords." In early '96 the Wu headed to the studio to craft the long awaited second group album. While certain members were laying down verses, Ghostface Killah and RZA were in the room right next door recording Ghost's debut "Ironman" - which would be released in early fall of 1996. The group spent the remainder of that fall, and all of the proceeding winter to put the finishing touches on this sophomore album In early June of '97, the much anticipated double disc album "Wu-Tang Forever" would finally be released. The album was loved by both fans and critics, and came a hair away from winning best rap album of the year at the Grammy's. All these years later, this album still has its shine. It doesn't sound the least bit out dated, or even mediocre. Some say, this could have been reduced to a one disc album, but I can't help but disagree. From track one of the first disc, to track 16 of the second, this is a pretty long album - if it's too long, just listen to whatever tracks you're in the mood for. If you're new, I suggest listening to it all the way through, just so you can absorb the wide range of Hip Hop. For me, I can always let both discs run all the way through. Though I prefer some tracks over others, it's still a flawless album. If you have any doubts about getting this, diminish those doubts and make this purchase. "Wu-Tang Forever" is for all Wu Tang, and Hip Hop fans. Owning this is a must!
