Free Music Notes for Wu Tang Iron Flag
Free Music Review: I Agree with the unbiased truth
Hit: 1 Stars
Although this album has some moments, the rest of this album is so bad, this was not only wu-tang clan's worst album, it is also heading on my list of not only the worst album of the last 5 years, but also the worst albums of this decade, ODB is not even there anymore, the rapping is tired, the songs is tired, the writing is not as good as it used to, there are a few decent lyrics sometimes but that's about it.
This album is just truly awful.
However ODB R.I.P.
Free Music Review: 3.5 Stars
Hit: 3 Stars
The first two songs alone make this album miles ahead of "The W," which was practically unlistenable except for a few songs. The rest of "Iron Flag" however, follows the same lazy, half-baked pattern of "The W." It's slightly better than that because of quality songs like "Uzi" and "One Of These Days," but for the most part this is the same lazy, erratic Wu Tang Clan we've grown accoustumed to in the years since their Enter The Wu Tang/Liquid Swords/Cuban Linx glory days. RZA needs to spend more time crafting solid beats and stop relying on gimmicks, GZA and Inspekta Deck need to get on the mic more, and the whole group really needs to get together and work on recapturing the energy, intelligence, songwriting skill, and attitude that made them great in the first place. That will probably never happen again, but we can dream, right? Free Music Review: solid 4th group album
Hit: 4 Stars
The Wu is back for their 4th group album, just 13 months since thir last group album was released. Better then "The W" but not as good as their first 2 classic albums. No Cappadonna or Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.) are on this one however. There is a few guests, Ron Isley, Prodigal Son & 12 O' Clock all are on one song and Street Life & Madame D are on 2 songs each. A few members are on many songs (Rae, Ghost, Deck, and Masta are all on at least half) while other are on less than half of the songs (Meth, RZA, GZA, U-God). It only has 12 songs, but of them there is one classic, 2 near classics, 6 good songs, 1 or 2 I skip, and 1 or 2 that's ok. Production is mostly by the RZA (8 songs), with Mathematics, True Master, Poke & Tone, and Fury all doing 1 song. A must have for any Wu fan.

#6 - 9.5 (Ins Deck, Rae, U-God)
#7 - 9 (Ins Deck, Meth, Masta, Rae, RZA)
#8 - 5.5 - slower song (Ghost, GZA, Rae, Madame D)
#9 - 8 (GZA, Meth, Masta, Rae)
#10 - 7.5 (Ghost, GZA, Ins Deck, Meth, Rae, Ron Isley)
#11 - 9.5 - good beat (Ghost, Ins Deck, Masta, Rae, RZA, U-God)
#12 - 10 - CLASSIC remake of "Dashing Through The Snow" (Ins Deck & GZA)

Free Music Review: What went wrong?
Hit: 3 Stars
Wu-tang is my favorite rap group of all time but this album isnt all that great. Most of the beats suck and its too mainstream. Wasnt much raw material. ODB couldnt record with them also INS was in the background most of the time, leaving U-God and Masta Killa to do more than him. What the hell. Nothing can match up to 36 Chambers and anyone who says this is better than 36 Chambers, Wu-Tang Forever and The W must be silly in the mind.
Worse Tracks: Dashing, Soul Power (worse wu beat of all time - what was Rza thinking)
Best tracks: Iron Flag (until it gets to the next song in the track), Yall Been Warned, Rules, and Uzi was ok - had to grow into that song.
Free Music Review: NOT GREAT
Hit: 2 Stars
This is not such a good album there was too much hype whene it was comming out but its not bad. Rza has tryed to produce a new wu tang on this album and it just does not work
