All he does is talk about murdering people (big man) and referring to himself as his superhero alter ego. (Who, I don't think anyone on this planet actually acknowledges him as)
Had this been 1996, this could have flown. But I expect better. We deserve better. |

I'm surprised by all the flack this new project's getting. I haven't heard the whole thing but the couple of tracks I heard sounded pretty rad, the production being kinda different in a good way for the guy. I know expectations are high though. WU BLOCK was fun but definitely not among his bestest efforts (i do emphasize the fun though it made me ****).

It does come off as a half ass story to me though I have to listen to it again to catch everything but even though it's only 12 tracks. He probably could've cut it down to about 8 or so and it would have been slightly better.

It just strikes me as an album made for the sake of it in all honesty, just recycling old material. |

@Fluffykitten: PT is pretty good but Tush brings it down a bit for me.
Personally, I love Adriane Younge's production on Ghost's new project. It's all mostly live instrumentation and I think it complements Ghost well. The storytelling is a little linear, but it's good and most of Ghost's verses sound invigorated, inspired, and rambunctious. My only complaint is that maybe the album is a bit short. I'd say this is probably his best album since "Fishscale". |

Not about the comic specifically but the story is there however uninteresting you may find it.

The story wasn't even that bad. It was a little cheesy and comic book like, but so wasn't the original Wu-Tang debut. That's why we loved them (or at least why I loved them). They were like ultra violent rap-superheroes!

I think Ghostface always leaned the most toward Comix, much like DOOM does. Hes the only one that refers to himself as some superhero alias as far as I can remember, or at least an existing superhero, besides DOOM.
