Product Description

CD Description

IRONMAN is the first solo album by a member of the Wu-Tang Clan in almost a year, and rap fans waited a long time for it. The previous year, after all, yielded four of them, all largely produced by Wu-Tang mastermind RZA. IRONMAN is an RZAproduction, too, largely a masterpiece in its own right. It's likely to raise the level of anticipation, if that's possible, for the full band's follow-up to the 1993 landmark ENTER THE WU-TANG.
IRONMAN is as singular an album as any ofthe individual Wu-Tang releases. Within its raw, basement sound are so many separate elements that it's sometimes hard to believe they're actually coalescing into a single song; it's as if the songs are defying the laws of physics. Lyrically, Ghostface's rhyme style is more complex than it first appears. Whether shouting his creed ("Daytona 500") or romancing an older woman ("Camay"), Ghostface speaks to his listeners in a private slang, and it often takes more than one listen to pick up on his metaphors. Most of the other Wu-Tangersmake cameos here; Ghost's sidekicks Raekwon and Cappadonna are all over this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a epic album with some superb beats and rhymes, 28 Nov 2000
I bought this album with the expectations of hard non commercial beats with some off the wall lyrically dexterious rhymes ,and i wasn't disappointed. The album starts off in a typical wu-tang style with a film sample off of an old gangster film and then almost slyly (for a wu-tang album) comes the beat for the first track Iron maiden.The rest of the album really continues in this style with some comic interludes and some frank rhymes about life on the streets. The production from the RZA is slick as usual,but for me the album falls below the standard set by the GZA on his hip-hop classic Liquid swords. This is still not an album to be taken lightly and dismissed,it is well worth a listen,stand out tracks are Fish and Daytona 500

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wubanga, 9 April 2005
By Mr. R. S. Gahir (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a classic album from start to finish the beats are like you've never heard although Liquid swords is a heavy album this has heavy bass tracks like BOX IN HAND & BLACK JESUS, POISONOUS DARTS, WINTER WARZ which cappadonna's verse full of lyrical technique will have you reciting every word. I think alot of people spend too much time comparing the Wu tang artists against each other when you realise they have their own styles especially Ghostface has a faster rapping approach compared to Gza GFK has one of the illest rhymes on ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX on WU GAMBINOS but the ironman album should be considered a class album one of Ghost's best.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent in parts, 17 Feb 2003
By Andy (Manchester, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
this album ranges from the awesome, with tracks like Winter Warz and Assasination Day, to the not so good, like Wildflower.
It doesn't touch 36 Chambers or The W, but is good in its own right. With guest appearances from M.E.T.H.O.D Man and Raekwon, he has pulled in all the big guns from Wu Tang. Definately not the best album around, but still worth chacking out if you like Wu Tang. There are some phat beats on this, especially on Assasination Day, and slick production throughout. Recommended if you want some ill raps.
