Review :
This album was pretty ill when it dropped back in the day. Looking back, the
RZA was experimenting with his production, and was still seeking to establish
his style. The mood of many of the cuts is remarkably dark and murky. On "Biscuits"
Meth’s lyrics are suppressed under a haunting minimal beat. You almost get the
sense that he’s rapping from within a deep dungeon, or better yet, locked in
your basement on Friday the 13th.
The mood picks up on a few tracks such as the classic "Bring the Pain", "Meth Vs. Chef", and "Release Yo’ Delf." However, the general tone on this album is suppressed and dimmed-out-dark. My favorite cut is the absorbing click-clack of "I Get My Thing in Action." Overall, this album is basically a valued timepiece within the evolving lineage of hip-hop. This is one of four albums that the RZA exclusively produced for Wu-Tang soloists. That in itself marks its historical significance. In addition, Meth’s following two albums fail to approach the creativity of this project.

yo the guy who gave this a 4 is lost man. this disc is calssic wu definatley deserved a 6, no wack tracks on this. Meths best album by far, sick lyrics and even sicker production from the Prince Rakeem RZA. If you like hip hop youll love this album if your an idiot youll give it a 4. The first string of solo albums outta the wu camp are all classics and deserve mad fuckin respect. Classic wu tang right here on this disc
