He's been on my list of things to check out for a while. I'll start with that I guess.

Wyko 11-24-2007 12:01 PM

Anyone listened to 8 Diagrams yet? I'm downloading it at the moment, leaked today.

ATM 11-24-2007 12:16 PM

I haven't heard it, let us know how it is.

AA-12 11-24-2007 12:33 PM

It leaked?

Wyko 11-24-2007 01:53 PM

[QUOTE=Ghoul Hunter;15587263]It leaked?[/QUOTE]

Yep

Listened to it once so far, was decent, but didn't feel like someting special yet, but I need to give it more time.

AA-12 11-24-2007 02:31 PM

Can you rep me the link or at least shoot me in the right direction? I can't find it :(

Wyko 11-24-2007 02:47 PM

I got it from what.cd, but you should be able to get it from [url]http://www.rlslog.net/wu-tang-clan-8-diagrams-retail-2007/[/url] (note to mods, this is not a direct link to a torrent/upload site whatsoever)

AA-12 11-24-2007 02:49 PM

Thanks man :)

Amit 11-24-2007 02:52 PM

life changes is a pimp track

Correction 11-24-2007 03:13 PM

AA-12 11-24-2007 04:05 PM

This is good stuff so far.

EDIT: Wow, the real version of The Heart Gently Weeps is amazing.

sgrevs 11-24-2007 07:11 PM

I'll get it soon, I don't know whether to be more excited for this or new Ghostface. Hopefully they'll both be great.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-24-2007 09:41 PM

am downloading now.

Yeah it's pretty good, there's been a high quality version out for awhile though.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-25-2007 02:17 AM

It's pretty damn boring.

kyle6677 11-25-2007 10:13 AM

yep

ATM 11-25-2007 02:01 PM

Dissapointing :(

I heard it was going to be badass

I still want to hear it for my self, people around here tend to judge an album too quickly.

pixiesfanyo 11-25-2007 02:57 PM

It is a solid record. It is a lot slower than their previous albums. RZA seems to be trying to do more epic, brooding stuff rather than the under produced raw stuff he is known for. It definitely is better than the W though.

Rams 11-25-2007 03:25 PM

This is really bad after first listen.

pulseczar 11-25-2007 03:36 PM

I think the biggest problem is that RZA subdues the percussion itself too much, and that seems to throw off the rapping, a lot of the Wu just sounds bored most of the time, though that can also be attributed to them just not aging as well as others. It does get better as it progresses, though, I can see it being a grower.

pixiesfanyo 11-25-2007 03:58 PM

The production is the best part of the album.

kyle6677 11-25-2007 04:38 PM

i agree, its a lot more laid back. the production was ok, some tracks stood out, others didnt. its not bad, i just had my hopes too high. we'll see if i like it more after more listens

sgrevs 11-25-2007 05:08 PM

No Ghostface leaks yet? His albums have been far more consistent than Wu albums, methinks this album will continue the trend.

Tyler 11-25-2007 06:04 PM

8 Diagrams is okay so far. Seems a little confused, seems like it's walking between raw and refined and can't figure out where to go.

I'm only like 4 songs in though.

How does "The Heart Gently Weeps F/ Erykah Badu, Dhani Harrison and John Frusciante" manage to be both great and awful at the same time. Hm.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-25-2007 06:39 PM

I like what RZA is trying to do with the production but it just doesn't suit alot of the clan members. Like on The Heart Gently Weeps, Ghostface sounds good but the beat just doesn't work with Raekwon and Method Man at all.

Amit 11-25-2007 06:40 PM

hint: it's frusciante's fault

what a shitty guitar tone

Tyler 11-25-2007 10:45 PM

Sunlight was terrible, wow. I only made it like 40 seconds in.

mattox 11-25-2007 11:58 PM

ATM 11-28-2007 06:50 PM

Nobody commented on my video. :upset:

Also, this board is really into JMT. I can't stomach much of that kind of rap.

AA-12 11-28-2007 06:51 PM

JMT got me away from metal. I listen to them way too much, haha.

What kind of rap do you mean?
