Triumph is my shittttttt

Mannn, as someone who is just getting into Wu-Tang Clan with no nostalgia at all: this album is nowhere near 36 Chambers. Nowhere near. I was kind of hoping that all the comments I read about this being on the same level might have been true, that the debut was overrated. Triumph is amazing though.

Also fuck the Five Percent Nation shit flowing through this album. Racist sexist bullshit.

Will do! Guess I'll start with their first album.

Also going to try Fishscale and Supreme Clientele. Liquid Swords was great, but didn't really feel Cuban Linx

Shit, 6 Feet Deep isn't on Australian Spotify/Apple Music. Or even iTunes? Weird. I'll check it on YouTube or something I guess...

This is the shizzzzzzz

a weird/potentially fun discrepancy: obviously 36 Chambers is considered the Wu's go-to, by my (literal) peers, the younger generation and critically, but

every single person I've talked to who was musically cognizant during the 90s remembers this being their favourite by a country mile - most consider enter the wu-tang as a fun warm-up for the REAL rapping. i don't know whether standards have changed or whatever, but my jokes about U-God fall on deaf ears: if anything he's reasonably lauded (and, the more i listen to this the more i understand why). i don't know if it's generational but i wonder if it's age -- i like this more and more each listen. not that it will ever supplant 36 chambers but i mean i really think this is a beyond worthy follow-up.

thanks.

This album was released to the usual sophomore hype and had more commercial reach, I guess. Compare 600K first week sales for this to the 30K for Chambers. The number of people I've met who were alive during Metallica's heyday and consider the black album to be their peak kinda reaffirms my gut-feeling on this.

cut this down to a hot 22 tracks and I agree tbh



Ghost, Rae, U-God and especially Deck all go notably harder here than they do on the debut

Album Rating: 4.4

yeah [2] Jac, not to mention Triumph was absolutely huge when it dropped and about 500k of those people probably bought the album after hearing Deck's verse alone

I worked with a dude (mid-30s, huge into east coast 90s rap) whose fav Wu song was Triumph and wasn't all that keen on Chambers. It's kinda important to remember that most people are insulated from these musical interweb communities and probably don't care all that much for our sacred cows.

well 36 Chambers is definitely still big outside of the net but yeah I feel you



Triumph is a fair choice for favourite, if only someone could remind RZA how good their songs used to be without hooks :-(

36 chambers is also still big inside of the net, its important to remember that n=1 is not relevant

i mean i don't think anyone is disputing that. and are you talking about n+1? good writing on that website just going to give it a cheeky plug

hmm jac idk it's pretty beloved by people roughly our (ok my) age who don't avidly trawl through romanian fishing advice forums
