Clearly not as good as 36 chambers, but then nothing else that came out in '97 was as good as this. This Double LP contains more of the wisdom of the clan, going into philosophy and the ethics of The RZA and The GZA. My favourite clan member, meth, didnt give the amazing perfromance he did on the debut but this left room for some of the other members not as popular like Raekwon ( he features in most of the dialogues on his own ) and U-God striking out my favourite track on Disc 2 - "Bells Of War".
The two discs are completely different albums and have different sampling and structure altogether, for example, Disc One features more electronic sounds with traditional beats ( killa track - "Its Yourz" ! )while in disc two The RZA seems to work back towards sampling japanese instruments and strings, this is why the second half of the album has more for me.Worth it for the lengthly second side alone
If you HATE crappy pop rap albums that repeat themselves BUY THIS S*** NOW, ITS SO DOPE THEY SHOULD LABEL IT ILLEGAL !

This album is deep. its not what you might have been expecting after 36 chambers, but if u judge it on it's on merits rather than comparing it with previous work, you'll realise that this is a classic. first off it is a deep album. this is probable it's biggest flaw (commercially)- it's full of deep, meaningful lyrics, which unfortunatley these days seem to take the back foot to guns, money, ice, and hoes. in the word's of ghostface (slightly edited so this review will actually get published): ''All we gonna do is just keep doin' what we do best. We know one thing - that there is more dumb people than smart people, so when we bring Wu-tang Forever and we preach to people, nobody want to hear that stuff. It's like I'm tryin' give you knowledge and teach you and tell you to do somethin' right, you don't want to hear that. Forever was like college - we stepped our rhymes up. People didn't want to hear that though. So now we know like: hold on, nah, that's too strong for 'em.' Can't feed a baby steak: can't digest it, he can't even chew it; he ain't gonna want it.''
i think that little paragraph sums it up really well. it was a deep album, but alot of it just flew over people's heads, so it didnt get the respect it deserves. to this day i dont know how professional reviewers allowed this to get past them without appreciating it, but maybe it was too deep for most of them too. im not gonna break down the LP track-by-track as the last guy did that. although i will point out that 'a better tomorrow' is one of the greatest songs of all time, and 'impossible' contains 2 of the best verses i've ever heard.
all i can really say is buy this album and judge it for your self, but give it a few listens before u pass judgement, as it can take a fair few listens to understand some of the lyrics, and a few of the tunes have to grow on you.
but in conclusion this is a true master piece, and for little more than a tenner you can't go wrong. BUY IT!!!!

I have to say that I thought that Enter wasn't as good as it could have been, but this 2-cd sequal has it all! No matter what mood I'm in, there are tracks to suit it.
Long May the Wu reign!

The perceived downfall of the Wu Tang Clan can be traced back to this release. Before 'Forever' the Wu could do no wrong in the eyes of the critics. Read more

Ok. First of all. Don't expect this album to be better than their debut. Coz the 36 chambers was perfect. Read more

One to have if you insist on all wu releases
Ok let's get this straight- it is nowhere near as good as the debut 36 chambers. Nowhere. Any review saying it is, is severly mistaken. Read more
