When I first heard the leaks I thought the whole album would sound like "Watch Your Mouth" and "Weak Spot".. essentially an album in the vain of 36 chambers and Forever, which both those two songs sound like relics from or even actual leftovers from. So from that I was real excited to get some rehashed classic Wu. I've given up on any new incarnations of the "Wu Sound" over the years because it sounded to disjointed and irrelevant, so I figured they just took it back to basics for this project. Even though they did sprinkle some vintage formula Wu on us (see "Weak Spot", "Life Changes", "Sunlight" and "Watch Your Mouth"---had it been on the album) I think the majority of the albums sound is something different and unique, while still Wu. So I appreciate it. I do think Rza walked a fine line here though, tracks like "Heart Gently Weeps" sound absolutely nothing like Wu-Tang, in a bad way, but I got to give Rza credit a lot of people who aren't Wu fans really dig that song so I guess he does know what he's doing.

I think the production is sick, you bang this on a good system and you'll notice so many elements to the song. RZA has truely evolved. If Dre can switch his style from The Chronic to 2001, why cant RZA. And I appreciate it more after hearing a recent interview where he said at this point in his career he's been to so many places and has experienced so many cultures that he wanted to make music for a wider variety of people on this album instead of catering to one type. He talked about how Rae was mad at him because he wanted straight "hit em in the head music", but RZA said they already got that wrapped up with Cuban Linx 2, so spread it out more with 8 Diagrams

Excellent point, a nice evoloution from those irritatating ass keyboard beats he's been doing on his last couple solo records
