Method Man's best album, Oct 17 2006
This review is from: 4 21...Day After (Audio CD)
One of my boys hipped me to this album. Even though it doesn't contain a radio banger like "Bring the Pain" or "You're all I Need" This is Meth's best album from beginning to end. It's tight from beginning to end. This is grown man hip hop, To paraphrase Meth "This ain't your grandbabies music it's hip hop"

Career Defining Album - A Must Have, Sep 6 2006
This review is from: 4 21...Day After (Audio CD)
This is the type of album most artists are trying and hoping to make for their whole career. Every facet of hip hop music is represented well here, meth flexes his lyrical muscle and demonstrates his versitility on solulful concious tracks, grimey tracks, and straight up bangers. The album is very balaced and I wouldnt hesitate to liken it to Jay-Z's blueprint. "Say" is one of the best hip hop songs to be released in 2-3 years. Any fan of Wu-tang, or Method Man himself in either his Tical or Red & Meth incarnations will be elated with this album. A must buy for any fan of Hip-Hop music.

Method Man - 4:21 The Day After, Aug 29 2006
By Wu-Tang_Assassin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 4 21...Day After (Audio CD)
Two years later, and Method Man comes correct again! And this time harder, and more on point! This was a very anticipated album by Wu fans and Meth fans for sure. Some people were dissapointed with his 2004 release "Tical 0", even though I liked the album. But let me explain.. Lyric wise, Method Man comes correct. People say he fell off, how is that? It dont seem like he fell off to me! He never did, hes always been on point. He drops fire and truth on all the songs. He drops the same style he's always had, but this time he delivers on different levels to add a new taste to the album. To sum it up, the same old dope Meth. Production wise, this is what people wanted to hear. As I said, some people were dissapointed with the production from Tical 0, but this album is sure to prove them wrong. You got one beat by Scott Storch, which I thought was good. Quite a few beats from RZA which is A BIG BIG PLUS!! RZA does miracles lol. Alos Erick Sermon. Quite a few diff producers that add to the album. Overall, the production is off the chain. Since you got some grimey bangers, a couple more up-tempo bangers and so on. "Presidential MC (Produced by RZA)", automatic banger!!! Overall, Meth comes correct and dope, dont underestimate, cop this!! My Top 5 Songs 1.4:20 (Grimey) 2.The Glide 3.Ya Meen (Insane beat) 4.Konichiwa Bi*ches 5.Presidential MC

More Structural Support for Wu Revolution, Aug 29 2006
By The Purchaser - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 4 21...Day After (Audio CD)
A lot of people base their reviews on how an album compares to one of its precessors. No matter how much effort he might put into the album, another Tical will never happen. Instead, we need to recognize that although 36 chambers, Tical, Liquid Swords, etc. were some of the best albums of all time... the fact is that artists evolve, as well as their sound. So try to not to compare it to music from over 10 years ago... instead compare it to music now, and the state of hip hop at the moment. When looked at from that perspective, this is an excellent album. For the most part, I dont think it sounds anything like Tical, though I will admit that it has a gritty style that is slightly reminicent. Rest assured, it is much better than Tical 0. Most of the tracks are real tight, with excellent production from a variety of people. I especially like the intro, Is It Me, Problem, Fall Out, Dirty Mef, 4:20, The Glide, Say, Konichiwa B****s, Everything, and Presidential MC. To be honest, the other tracks are good too. Cop this album cause it's dope, and it's just another example of how Wu-Tang is having a reawakening. With Masta Killa, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, and Method Man dropping hot albums so far this year, and the highly-anticipated Raekwon album coming real soon, it's a good year for hip hop.... if you know where to look.
