People heard this album at the time it was released and said "It's OK". Don't underestimate this, it's better than OK, it's great. I got it a few years back, and listened to it last week, it's a classic! When Ghostface allegedly said that Wu-tang's music was unappreciated because it was so advanced, like feeding steak to a baby, the man was right. Listen to this album again now if it's gathering dust you'll love it. If you don't have it, steal it off your friend who's letting it gather dust, or buy it cheap!
