Frankenstein... - By: D. Mwiinga, 02 Dec 2008 
It was hard to review this album having listened to everything else that Gza has ever done. First things first, the album is not bad & neither is it good. Like me, if you have heard a lot of Gza's stuff, you will notice that this album is almost like a Frankenstein because it has so many bits & pieces borrowed from his previous stuff. The tracks are first of all not that original or creative at all as we know Gza can do, we have nothing like Fame, Animal planet, knock knock or even Breaker Breaker & secondly, the album has one too many some skip-a-ble tracks. Also, his lyricism isn't as sharp & the beats as I said are not that interesting either.
Critics were saying this is a good album but maybe I am just hard to please because I thought it fell short of what Gza can do, I even thought the album with dj Muggs had better offerings as it had tracks like Queens Gambit which were interesting & creative. Even the song titles on that album were interesting. As I said, this album is not bad, its just that it falls short, the only tracks I find myself repeating are Pencil, Short Race & Cinema. My review maybe unfair but its hard not to compare Gza's current work with the work he did before & I dont know if he can ever do anything similar to Liquid sword or even Beneath the surface. He did try to reproduce his earlier work by reusing the same samples but I dont think it quite worked.
After all that, it is not a cr*p album, it just doesnt quite live up to expectations...

The Gza does it again with his new album, full of quality tracks....no more can be said but pure hip hop.
