IRONMAN is the first solo album by a member of the Wu-Tang Clan in almost a year, and rap fans waited a long time for it. The previous year, after all, yielded four of them, all largely produced by Wu-Tang mastermind RZA. IRONMAN is an RZA production, too, largely a masterpiece in its own right. It`s likely to raise the level of anticipation, if that`s possible, for the full band`s follow-up to the 1993 landmark ENTER THE WU-TANG.
IRONMAN is as singular an album as any of the individual Wu-Tang releases. Within its raw, basement sound are so many separate elements that it`s sometimes hard to believe they`re actually coalescing into a single song; it`s as if the songs are defying the laws of physics. Lyrically, Ghostface`s rhyme style is more complex than it first appears. Whether shouting his creed ("Daytona 500") or romancing an older woman ("Camay"), Ghostface speaks to his listeners in a private slang, and it often takes more than one listen to pick up on his metaphors. Most of the other Wu-Tangers make cameos here; Ghost`s sidekicks Raekwon and Cappadonna are all over this album.
