listen to it again and again foolsgold13 April 24 2006, 14:06:28 UTC

sure the skits get old...but this is phenomenal. no not over supreme, but i think it fully surpasses ironman (which i don't even dig too much).

Jellyfish is my favorite song on the album. check it out again, this album is superb in so many ways.

the production is stellar. it's not extra soft like some parts of pretty toney. the soft songs (namely the 2 antitype said he skips) are fantastic, fitting in with more of a "Child's Play" awesome sound rather than like random crossover "Tush"

jellyfish, wu milli and the others mentioned speak for themself. he just sounds like he's back. with pretty toney he needed to re-settle because it was the comeback album. now that his feet are firmly planted on the ground, he is set, kicking ass, laying down incredible beats, comfortably as ever

People talk shit... reedkillsyou April 24 2006, 22:17:07 UTC

but I stand by "Tush". Not what you want from Ghost, but a solid rump shaker nonetheless.

His... and possibly the Wu's best since SC. On par with Grandmasters. Bring on the Linx II.

It's pretty good, but I don't have the same boner for it that a lot of other people seem to have. I feel like it's lacking the edge that a lot of the greatest post-Wu solo stuff has. At the same time I feel like No Said Date is kind of the same way, but I think it did it a whole lot better than Fishscale. People have already singled out some of my favorite tracks, but really I'll reiterate that on "Shakey Dog" it feels like Ghostface is on fire and he just doesn't let up with the rhymes all throughout that song, and the flow is sick.

I'll give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.
