    Ah Meth, maybe i was expecting to much from you but the album wasn't mind blowing although they were some moments of the 'Method Man' and even so at times u weren't at your best your average is still shit hot on the overall basis of wats out there.

    While Tical 0: The Prequel is an adequate and at times entertaining record, too much collaboration has overshadowed the rhyming prowess and lyrical wittiness of Method Man.

    The killer swarm of 1994's Tical and Tical 2000's astro-black ambition aren't anywhere to be seen. [27 May 2004, p.80]

    It's, well, a thoroughly professional record. And therein lies the problem. Method Man, perhaps more than any other Wu-Tang member bar ODB, has personality to burn, and trying to force it into a box fit for any other hit rapper is an impossible task.
