Yeah, but Deck and RZA's best albums don't touch on the upper tier of the Clan discography. Like you mention Bobby Digital, most people would say that's RZA's best solo release, but Ghost has probably released 5 albums of his own that are better. Even Ghost has been inconsistent for a while - it's been over 10 years since Fishscale.
I liked the production on the new album, it's very reminiscent of their early works where I felt RZA was at his best. I don't know how uninterested they were, it sounded like a pretty focused album to tell you the truth, though lyrics were probably it's biggest issue, and the last song that cuts off abruptly is annoying as hell.
