Yeah. Hearing each new track for the first time, I tend to have one of two reactions: 1. nice beat, I wonder how RZA is going to corny it up with the chorus, or 2. oh no. this (horn/rock style chorus/extended obvious 70s soul) intro is going to recur again and again right?
We Will Fight, Keep Watch, Miracle, A Better Tomorrow, are some of the worst things he's done. I preferred him in introverted sonic-experiments-that-don't-really-work mode (Bob Digi 2, Birth of a Prince) than this extroverted garbage.

he hasn't cared about music in at least a decade. he wants to make movies.

aside from the three tracks i named & maybe necklace this just seems more and more misguided with each reconsideration
that said, the new ghostface killah is quite enjoyable

why hasnt rza made a movie with the clan yet? seems odd. like, forget another half hearted album, do a film together instead (i say this as i have heard the tarantino produced for him wasnt as bad as some thought). id watch a semi-jarmusch-ish weird indie artsy movie with the wu.

thats what he tried to do with man w/ the iron fists, minus having other dudes in the wu act in it. it's not half bad if you know the goofiness you're getting into.

man w/ the iron fists is a legitimately entertaining movie that I have watched at least 2x and would watch again

RZA was a lot better when he did more sample-based stuff.
