Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Some Wu members, like Cappadonna, are overly concerned with the way they dress, while others are a plain ol' inebriated mess (read: Ol' Dirty Bastard). For the GZA, it's all about the lyrics. With his nasal delivery and rapid-fire flow, he is the most experienced and oldest member of the Wu Tang Clan (he released a pre-Wu LP on Cold Chillin' Records entitled Words from the Genius in 1991). GZA's forte is battle rhymes (on his self-titled cut he declares that wack MCs' "lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers"). On "Labels" he eloquently pens a complete song using only rap record label names. Loaded wordplay aside, beat-wise Liquid Swords is fully and exceptionally RZA-produced (peep the electric guitars and spacey synths on "Investigative Reports"). Liquid Swords is a perfect purchase for rap fiends who crave ill experimental beats and even iller punchlines. --Dalton Higgins Average Rating:
 Rating: - FLAWLESSI'll keep this short. This album is the only thing created in the history of man without flaws. This is the Alpha and Omega of hip hop. Anyone leaving anything less than a 5 star review should be investigated by the FBI. You have to be a complete loony toon to think other wise and I that makes me uncomfortable as a human to allow myself and my children out in a world where anyone like that exist in public. Rating: - One of the best albums everLiquid swords is the sophmore album by the GZA aka, the genius, and I must say that the GZA doesn't dissapoint with this album. Hailed by many to be the best solo album to come out of the Wu-Tang Clan. When I first heard of the Clan I was all about Method Man as my favorite rapper. Then one day as I was listening to 36 Chambers and I took the time to listen to each and every song, and I heard the GZA just dominate the song Clan In Da Front, with his layered rhymes and cool and precise flow I wanted ...

He's one of the greatest lyricists ever, and this album shows it. His stories are extremely interesting and give you insight as to what happens on the daily basis in the streets of Shaolin. GZA is not my beef here. He drops his best material ever. My beef here is (drumroll)...................RZA's beats! His beats bored me to tears. I know some Wu-heads are gonna bash me for this, but I don't care. I'm ...

Everything from the album art to the lyrics to the beats is raw. Still sounds much better than todays music. I still roll hard, down the streets with my 2000 watts of raw power, bumping this album. When I first heard this, I was 13 years old. Now at 29 this is still on top of all my Hop-Hop collection. Not one album has come close to satisfing my brain like this one can! Stay Real. Rating: - ......still the bestliquid swords is definitely in my top 5 favorite hip-hop albums of all time.... i'm still listening it today like it came out yesterday. i think gza is the most lyrical member of the clan, and this album outshone the sun in so many ways. apart from gza's lyrical genius, rza's production makes be believe that there's no way that he could've crafted such brilliant beats on his own, plus the usage of classic kung-fu movie samples (although my favorite usage of movie samples is in "severe punishment" on ...
