I think one thing that Wugazi has in its favor is that it doesn't just use a single album by either artist (and none of them are JZs effin Black Album) so it's more .. diverse?

I dunno. I'm gonna give it a chance and try to listen to it as a totally new creation -- in those other two I always ended up waiting for my favorite riffs and verses and choruses to pop up.

anything from the furniture ep on it?

I'm hoping they use that, that **** rocked hard

No bits of those have stuck out to me so far, but they seem to have taken little pieces from everything. As much as I love the song I was happy that the Waiting Room bass line wasn't front and center (at least not in the early parts of Wugazi). These guys obviously worked pretty hard on this.

Wugazi's '13 Chambers': A Track-by-Track Breakdown | Rolling Stone Music

is a good track by track on it.

finally downloaded it

pretty ok, I guess - this is my first "mash-up" album, BTW

the backing tracks are more interesting than the original Wu Tang's, I suppose

I don't think of it as a mash-up album, it isn't just one album from Wu an one album from Fugazi mashed together, they use samples from a variety of different songs and albums and it fits together wonderfully.

It is. A "mashup" doesn't have to be one-to-one. Girl Talk makes mashups.

Anyway, I'm on my 3rd listen of Wugazi and liking it more and more. :)

Girl Talk practically defines "novelty mash up". It's cool for maybe the first minute in and then it just gets ****ing obnoxious

I agree. This will stay in rotation for a long time.

Just downloaded. Will be using it as my fighting music for Team Fortress 2. Hope to be impressed, what with all the hype I'm seeing about it.
