just bought it and listened to it.

i may never listen to it again.

boring as fuck, for the most part.

the production was solid...but boring and pedestrian. Muggs has almost totally fallen off.

while i never LOVED gza (voice is too garbled and monotone), i thought he too, has slumped...

Muggs has steadily fallen off since after the Temples of Boom (his last great production) era.
he put out an average album with Cypress with IV....and then he proceeded to fall in love with the cheesy synth drum sound, and never looked back.
sad. (i don't even want to talk about the rap-metal stuff)
his gothic, trip-hop samples (choice on Temple of Boom), have since become predictable and overly looped...

Gza's style hasn't changed one millimeter since Enter the 36 Chambers....which is sad...because 13 years later, the man has nothing new to say, and no new way of saying it.

if this is the best either can do....they should just hang it up, before they further tarnish thier image....especially Muggs...

Muggs is like the "Mike Tyson" of producers now....dude, just quit..it's over.

I believe the reason he fell in love with the cheesy synth sound was that he was sick of paying for sample clearance.

I liked it a lot, but then again I never paid for it. :D
