5.0 out of 5 stars What's That S*** They Be Smokin?, October 18, 2005

By	Matt (NJ) - See all my reviews

Everyone waited after hearing the Enter the Wu album. Everyone waited to see what would come next. Never before had hip hop seen a group so filled with talent and promise made up of so many different members. 2 years later, they got Tical.
This album picked up right where Enter the Wu left off, further developing the Wu-Tang style of beats and rhymes. Method Man had established himself as a standout talent on the Enter the Wu album and people knew they would be hearing and seeing a lot more of him. This album delivered the first legitimate solo installment for the Wu. No one who listens to hip hop and who owned this album doesn't have a feeling that is brought back when they hear this album. I was in high school when this album dropped and hearing it brings me back to that time each time I hear it.
The production is amazing: grimey and live. The rhymes are staggering. It's the perfect mixture of style and attitude.

A classic, this album kicked off the solo ventures of the Wu-members that would span the next decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it Really Real Son?, July 2, 2002

By	Enlightened "Both Eyes Closed" (In Da A) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The Dirt. The Grimey, the basement beats and sound quality, the straight up RAWNESS. This is the real Method Man. The rough cat, the blunted, the crazy look, the dirty style, the charisma, theflow, the lyrics...oh my. He gave Wu-Tang its first star. Forget ODB, Forget Ghostface Killah, Forget The Rebel INS...When this album dropped he was the BEST member in Wu-Tang. Who could forget M.E.T.H.O.D. Man?

Tical was the second classic that had the W stamp on it. Everything you love about the Wu could be found in here. The Rugged beats, the street rhymes, the raw, the real anthems. Low sound quality ( at times you can't even hear what he's saying) and all that is a straight fiyah classic from Wu-Tang's most known member ( other than ODB of course). His flow is untouchable on this cd. Non rehearsed, freestyle sessions no retakes this is where it's at. The classics are here to... Bring Da Pain, All I Need, What The Blood Clot, Meth Vs. Chef, Release Yo Delf, Biscuits...the whole cd. IF you don't have this I feel sorry for you. Nothing else to say. 5 Stars.
