Obviously 36 Chambers and Forever are their 2 best albums. But what do you think is number 3?
What is Wu Tang Clan’s 3rd best album?

The W was 
The Lonious Monk
Celestial Souljah
I feel like if you took the best songs from the W and Iron Flag, you'd get an album on par with the first two.
I'm going with a controversial pick though: 8 Diagrams. It was a departure from the sound we were used to hearing from them, but there isn't really a bad track on that album (except for maybe Tar Pit) IMO. I feel like people (including some members of the Wu) let their desire for the older material keep them from appreciating it.

AYO, PUT THAT RZA SHIT BACK ON!!!
I remember reading an interview I think with RZA before the release of The W, where he was saying instead of recording with everybody at the same time (like in the beginning), it would be two or three showing up. Some would stop by and then leave or just send RZA their verses to a song after recording it from wherever they were.
Even though Iron Flag had some joints it's not my favorite and my least listened to. The beat to Chrome Wheels was dope especially with RZA's and Raekwon's verses but the song itself felt out of place (along with Dashing, Soul Power and Babies to a degree). The Glock was dope but probably would have sound better on The W but they already had Careful (Click, Click) so I see why that didn't make the final cut.
