GHOSTFACE KILLAH’S 2006 DOUBLE LP ‘FISHSCALE’ IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC WRAP. SLEEVE AND RECORD IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME. WINNING BIDDER PAYS SHIPPING AND HANDLING. Fishscale is the fifth solo album by Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. It was released by Def Jam on March 28, 2006. The album follows a cocaine theme, named after a term for uncut cocaine, fishscale. The single "Back Like That" reached #14 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while "Be Easy" reached #91 on the same chart.[1] The album sold about 110,000 units in first week, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Top Rap/R&B Albums chart, his highest chart position since his 1996 debut, Ironman.[2] Upon release, the album received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. The album contains many collaborations with Theodore Unit and the Wu-Tang Clan members, but only one Wu-Tang in-house beat (created by Ghostface himself), making it Ghostface's first album free of production from RZA (although he appears on the intro to "9 Milli Bros."). J Dilla's productions are taken from his album Donuts, and MF DOOM's productions are taken from his Special Herbs series of albums. Critics received the album extremely positively, and it earned an 88 on Metacritic.[3] Famed music critic Robert Christgau was especially extolling, awarding an A+ rating and likening the album to Public Enemy's universally hailed It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Critics also praised the album's heavy reliance on soul samples, and Ghost's comfort in their context. Fishscale produced renewed enthusiasm for other future Wu projects, including upcoming albums from Raekwon, Masta Killa, and Method Man. Interest in these projects had lulled, as many critics and fans considered recent efforts by other members of the Wu-Tang conglomerate as unspectacular.[citation needed] Pitchfork Media - Ranked #75 of The Top 200 Albums of the 2000's
