due to the fact that RZA was the executive producer, engineered it, sequenced it, made more beats for it than almost any post-Forever Wu solo, helped select outside beats, rapped on it a few times and basically had Ghost holed up in the studio with him while he was making it.

Ghost, like most Wu MC's, was not able to match the level of this album on subsequent albums without RZA's hands-on involvement in the project from start to finish.

I'm not sure he spent that much time with any other post-millenium solo Wu album ever since, Cuban Linx 2 was probably the closest but that was more done-by-legendary-committee production-wise over a long period of time.
