#MorningListening was GZA's *Beneath the Surface*, and afternoon listening was *Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...*, and this is keeping up a week or so of steady listening to the Wu that came out of nowhere.

I'm not complaining.

Three random observations about Beneath the Surface, an album I've probably listened to top-to-bottom at least a hundred times, likely more:

1) The album's sound isn't as cohesive/holistic as Liquid Swords - LS being 100% the RZA on production, BtS being a mix of Wu members & affiliates - but I am not sure there is a bad track on the thing. It doesn't hurt that neither LS or BtS suffers from the CD era's overstuffed-album-length problem. LS is the obvious classic but album for album, BtS is arguably just as good.
