    The album belongs to the hip-hop hippie. And an album it definitely is.

    The result is the best end-to-end Wu-Tang Clan album since their debut, 15 years ago.
  3. Q Magazine

    The lyrical flash and chop-socky samples signify business as usual, but at heart 8 Diagrams is a bold move into deeper, mellower terrritory, and certainly a vast improvement on 2001's "Iron Flag." [Feb 2008, p.93]

    Best hop-hop album I've heard this decade. Witty Wu-Tang is unpredictable!

    Like drugs. My bloodstream can't get enough. I'm only half joking. It really is like drugs. Be careful.
