    It's about as good a hip hop album as you will hear this year. Correction: Make that great.... It's hip-hop that plays to the streets and the suburbs with equal intensity, intelligence, insanity and integrity.

    But for all its rapped W-Unity, this is RZA's record.... Far from straining, he's gone sensei, achieving a craft in which the hand leads the mind.

    More accesible than ever, but more fallible too, The W is the album that brings the Wu-Tang Clan down to earth. [Jan 2001, p.98]
