Without the baggage that comes with the standards of an official Wu-Tang Clan album, this Mathematics-led LP is a success. Mathematics — a core member of the Wu-Elements production team — finally gets the group back on the signature Wu-Tang sound. It doesn’t play like it came straight out of a ’90s basement, but it’s incredibly soulful and employs plenty of kung-fu flick samples. The project even kicks off with the old intro music from Shaw Brothers films, making it clear this is a throwback to the good ole days.
While Mathematics gets things back on track sonically, it’s Method Man who truly carries the team on his back. Johnny Blaze has faced some criticism for never reaching the solo heights of his fellow members (like the triumvirate of GZA’s Liquid Swords, Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele). But Meth has always been a strong performer on the group’s albums, and he’s the shining star of The Saga Continues.
