    Surprisingly marginalised on the latest Wu effort, Ghostface Killah proves he's fighting fit on this gritty, organic partnership. [Feb 2015, p.88]

    It’s not the second coming of Ironman, but tracks such as Love Don’t Live Here No More, Emergency Procedure, Homicide and Blood On The Streets make this one of the best Wu-related releases of recent years, confirming Ghostface as its most consistently engaging member.

    His flow is solid on this album, and there’s no reason to suggest Ghostface is done, but if he is trying to recapture something, all we get here is sound and fury.

    36 Seasons is more in line with the spirit of Ghostface’s recent output, where he’s more prolific and "for the love" than ever and somehow lazier at the same time.

    The ensuing drama is as subtle as a bludgeon to the head, but the interplay between its main personages – including AZ and Kool G Rap--proves these old-timers have fight in them yet.

    Even at its best, however, 36 Seasons lacks the maniacal forward drive that propels Ghostface’s most electrifying works.

    This album is so on point. Mellow beats, seductive vocals, top notch rhyming and a consistent theme running throughout, that of coming back toThis album is so on point. Mellow beats, seductive vocals, top notch rhyming and a consistent theme running throughout, that of coming back to the hood and seeing how much it's changed. Ghostface is on top of his game these days and every album he releases is an instant classic. Anyone that loves hip hop should love this album.… Full Review »
