| | Liquid Swords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Liquid Swords was a 1995 (see 1995 in music) solo album by Wu-Tang Clan member Genius (GZA). | | | Liquid Swords is widely acknowledged as one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums, on par with classics like Ironman (Ghostface Killah) and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon). | | | The album begins with a monologue from a little boy; his monologue, and many of the other skits scattered throughout the album, are from the cult film Shogun Assassin. |

| | Liquid Swords is quite possibly one of the greatest albums ever made...ever. | | | Liquid Swords is the greatest Wu CD of all time, thereby making it the greatest CD of all time, transcending race and time, uniting the planets and even allowing ugly dudes like Philly Freeway to get laid due to it's undeniable epicness. |

| | :: MVRemix: Album Reviews - GZA - Legend Of The Liquid Sword :: |
| | "Liquid Swords" was dark and gritty and sandwiched between the successful "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" (Raekwon) and "Ironman" LP (Ghostface). | | | The title track "The Legend Of The Liquid Sword" (produced by Jaz-O) features Anthony Allen on the hook. | | | While Ghostface Killah continues to release quality Wu-Tang LPS and we wait for Method Man to release something else, Gza's "Legend Of The Liquid Sword" will satisfy the listener's thirst for dark, hardcore lyricism. |

| | Liquid Swords is just about being lyrically sharp with the tongue. | | | Musically, this album is the Wu-Tang Clan once again bringing that gritty sound back to the streets, complete with heavy drums, trademark violins and little key or synth arrangements GZA is masterful at wordplay, and the accompanying music makes the listening all the more pleasurable. | | | "The fourth post- Enter the Wu-Tang release, Liquid Swords turns out to be the most easily-digestible of the four band members' solo releases if sometimes Raekwon is a bit too abstruse, GZA is a far more composed and efficient rhymer. |

| | Las Vegas Weekly: Noise |
| | Unlike the first “Liquid Swords,” “Beneath” didn’t have a theme to it, which is at least part of the reasoning behind “Legend.” Yeah, the movie “Liquid Sword” is fly, GZA says, and a lyrically sharp tongue is like a sword—an image that inspired the 1995 album. | | | The film is also sometimes referred to as “Liquid Sword,” which was the obvious inspiration for GZA’s highly influential 1995 solo effort, “Liquid Swords.” Although it was actually his second solo release, it was the first that caught fire. | | | On “Legend of the Liquid Sword,” GZA’s new album and his first major project since Wu-Tang Clan’s “Iron Flag” in 2001 and first solo release since 1999’s “Beneath the Surface,” the one they call The Genius sets the stage immediately, on the track is called “Intro.” |

| | Retro Classic: Genius -- Liquid Swords published by SOHH.com |
| | The first song that leaked from the Liquid Swords album was "Labels" - a raw track over which Gza spit lyrics that incorporated the names of all the influential music rap labels in the game at that time. | | | Actually, if one closes their eyes and listens to the Liquid Swords album, you could almost envision a mysterious wise man wearing a protective face visor, pulling words out of a furnace with tungsten tongs, and molding them with a sledge hammer to suit each diverse RZA composition. | | | GZA transcended that threshold and that's why it's so common to hear people who only listen to rock or alternative music say that one of the only hip-hop albums they own and regularly listen to is the Liquid Swords album. |

| | Liquid Sword is every bit as good as all the reviewers here are saying, I just can't fault it, GZA's flow, his sound and his lyrics are sublime and RZA's production is in my opinion better than that on 36 Chambers. | | | Seeing as the Wu Tang seem to be doing all that they can to tarnish their reputation, it is worth looking back at some of the albums that helped them forge their near-mythical stature. | | | The LP begins with the title track, and to this day, there are few better examples of an MC at the top of his game. |

| | His second solo album, Liquid Swords [+], followed in 1995 and was hailed as a hip-hop classic thanks to its coolly understated menace. | | | While critics didn't praise it quite as lavishly as Liquid Swords [+], it was another well-received effort (especially compared to some of the lackluster follow-ups elsewhere in the Wu-Tang camp), and it topped the RandB album charts. | | | While it didn't make him a star on the level of Method Man [+], the album did sell well, reaching the pop Top Ten and falling one spot short of the top of the RandB charts. |

The production is excellent and like someone said in another review, you can listen to this album all the way through without skipping tracks, each song is a masterpiece. | | | Lyrically, this album can stand up to the original liquid swords. | | | The GZA is one of, if not the best lyrycist in hip hop, and this album is a testament to his incredible skills. |

His solo project, Liquid Swords is the shit. If you are a Wu fan, I suggest you buy it if you don't already have it. |

| | The Genius' first solo album as a Wu-Tang member, "Liquid Swords" was arguably the best Wu-Tang solo, although it was tragically slept on. | | | Method Man had the voice and the presence, Raekwon invented Wu-bonics with Ghostface, but for straight lyricism, nobody could touch the Gza, with the possible exception of Deck. | | | Gza rhymes laid back, like he's laying on a couch delivering darts straight through the forehead of the listener. |

| | GZA: Legend of the Liquid Sword: Pitchfork Review |
| | GZA's 1995 debut, Liquid Swords, is arguably Wu-Tang's finest hour; the lyrical force GZA unleashed on that album sucked the listener through a black hole beneath the subways of NYC into a grimy hip-hop Twilight Zone inhabited by Shaolin monks, microphone magicians, and linguistic architects. | | | GZA lyrical skills, however, have hardly diminished: if anything he's picked up steam and served us one of the best hip-hop albums in recent memory. | | | Although the power of that record was enough to damper the lukewarm reception of his hit-or-miss follow-up, Beneath the Surface (think of it as his Jackie Brown), heads had few doubts that GZA was one of the most creative MCs in the game. |
