    Babies, Radioactive, and the hidden track after Iron Flag are three of the strongest tracks I've heard from the Wu in years. It was good to hear GZA back in his proper place as the Anchor man in the relay.

    I think that they turned a little ghetto on this album. some songs are raw, but others are lame and have no skill. Wu tang is supposed to be about hip-hop. but there turning into a cash-money group. The CD could be better.

    Their darkest, most hypnotic disc since 1997's ''Wu-Tang Forever.''

    Iron Flag focuses squarely on the Wu's immense, twin strengths: bringing together some of the best rappers in the business, and relying on the best production confederacy in hip-hop (led by RZA) to build raw, hard-hitting productions.

    On Iron Flag, the Wu are not just back - they're overhauled and determined to compete.
