The long awaited Wu release booms out of the box on the first three tracks dropping science or some kind of wisdom over some of the hardest beats to bust out this year. They are still telling stories about how they are not role model, and other funky ruminations about how stoic the crew has to be in these last days and times. The end of the first disc is a little slow, but the second is more groove oriented, and less coherent in its world view.

Sometimes it's absolutely brilliant, and for one record it would've been classic. Still well worth the trip.
