While the title of this disc seems synonymous with Have Some Leftovers, it's not at all stale, if not nearly as spectacular as its precursor.
-
70There’s enough to make this little Def Jam tax write-off worthy of a listen for anyone that liked Fishscale, not just Ghostface completists.
-
73While More Fish is far from worthless, it's still a diluted product.
-
60[It] isn't so much More Fish as it is Cheap Fish. [Mar 2007, p.81]
-
80Bizarre, but brilliant. [Mar 2007, p.100]
-
This lacks Fishscale's intensity and focus.... Of fifteen tracks, however, only the crassly sexist "Greedy Bitches" is devoid of charm.
-
More Fish suffers during Ghostface's absences.
-
80As lean and compact as its predecessor was expansive. [Jan 2007, p.88]
-
B-list Wu cronies contribute a few too many forgettable guest verses, but Ghost's technique has never been deadlier.
-
If More Fish isn't as good as Fishscale -- and there's just as good a chance that it is as good -- it's the tapestry method that doesn't make for a cohesive listen.
-
60[A] patchy, protege-heavy collection that has little in common with its near-classic predecessor. [Jan/Feb 2007, p.85]
-
Thus is the template that makes More Fish so relevant, rewarding, and unpredictably necessary: uniformly fantastic production (except Doom) and Ghost coasting just enough that he doesn’t utterly eclipse the people he’s trying to let shine.
-
90If March's "Fishscale" was his "Highway '61 Revisited" or "Innervisions", "More Fish" is "John Wesley Harding" or "Fulfillingness' First Finale". It may lack something of the lustre, but it's still a gem from a master operating very much at the peak of his powers.
-
While it could be asserted that More Fish is leftovers to Fishscale's ten-course spread, we're still talking about something well beyond your average table scraps.
-
He’s worth your $13.98 even when he’s only offering a grab bag like this one. [11 Dec 2006]
-
Though "More Fish" lacks any real coherency, amid the flotsam is a marvelously random set of songs.
-
For the second time in 2006, Wu-Tang’s Ghostface has released an album that makes it seem everyone else in the hip-hop world should be paying more attention to Ghostface.
-
65More Fish has a fishy flavor and smell but has little else resembling the hard-hitting potency of its mind numbing predecessor, Fishscale.
-
This is the first time 'Ghostface Killah' and 'inconsistent' could ever exist in the same sentence. It's still a worthy investment and a must-have for fans, but I could've waited for an even fresher catch.
-
80It feels somehow safe and experimental, foundational and radical. [Jan 2007, p.110]
-
This isn't the gauntlet "Fishscale" was. It's just a good bunch of songs. [Feb/Mar 2007]
