Vibe (1/01, pp.137-8) - 4.5 discs out of 5 - "...A dense, demented, 15-song opus....going against the grain of everything that's going on in rap right now. If originality, innovation, and a mastery of the fundamentals of beats and rhymes still mean something to people, then THE W stands for 'winner'."
Rolling Stone (12/21/00, pp.169-70) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A sonic gestalt that exists somewhere between the Queensbridge projects and OutKast's STANKONIA....reaffirming Wu-world order...as the best rap group ever..."

Entertainment Weekly (11/24/00, p.82) - "...Utterly mellow...forgoeing innovation and simply revels in [the group's] stregths....Shifting easily from stark struts...to loose R&B...they're old pros, and they know it..." - Rating: B+
Wire (12/00, p.65) - "...THE W feels like some unbathed, 'grit the blade in your teeth, grim and bare arms' type s***..."
NME (11/18/00, p.41) - 8 out of 10 - "...With RZA in blinding form as Maestro Of Tension, THE W wades out impressively into a Fear Zone of guns, slums, cops and the kind of paranoid anxiety you get from smoking vast quantities of hydro and walking down Crackhead St. on your own at 4am..."
Melody Maker (11/28/00, p.50) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...They still rock....if you're genuinely interested in the myriad, spiralling noises that hip-hop can make...then get down to the record shop iommediately..."
CMJ (11/27/00, p.4) - "...Revisits the loose grimy methods that first propelled them to stardom..."

外部ゲストを多く招いたり、Wuにしてはキャッチーな#12を切ったりと、コアなファン以外へもアプローチする一方で、#3#9などのソウルフル路線もさらに追求され、全体の完成度は高い。でもやっぱりODBの穴は大きかったかな。

ウータンの独創的な音、1stが気に入っている私にはそれが感じられないように思いました。万人ウケする音作りに流れてしまったように思います。でも、聴きやすくなっているので、ちょい聴きには良いかも知れません。
