A Better Tomorrow (Wu Tang Clan, 2014)

Not exactly disappointing, but it never coalesces into anything special either.  A lot of people are blaming RZA, which I get on a 8 vs. 1 level, but on a production vs. rapping level he's the only one doing anything different, which isn't all that surprising at this point.  I think if the whole thing had more of a symphonic feel along the lines of Ruckus in B Minor it could've been pretty great.  Also I'm definitely feeling Cappadonna's expanded role.

Choice cuts: Ruckus in B Minor, Keep Watch, Necklace

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Ana Lily Amirpour, 2014) (theatrical)

I remember exceptionally little of it but it seemed like pretty mediocre festival fare.
