  GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords Review - sputnikmusic
Not unlike the Clan's previous effort, almost all of Liquid Swords was produced by RZA, whose dark, foggy beats perfectly compliment the lyrical content and ingenius sampling work (This time using even better clips, most noticeably a long dialogue from Shogun Assassin).
Musically, one of the most accomplished songs present on Liquid Swords is "Gold", bearing a massive, thumping beat, dramatic strings, choirs, horns, and an eerie keyboard line.
In many ways, Liquid Swords is as relevant as ever; underground hip-hop has taken but a few pages of Shaolin secrets that only GZA and other members of the Wu-Tang Clan possess.

  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 Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (Ol' Dirty Bastard), Tical (Method Man), Ironman (Ghostface Killah) and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon).
Liquid Swords is characteristic of the Wu-Tang Clan in its distinctive, sparse, menacing beats by producer RZA, and its cinematic themes relating to Martial Arts films.

 Genius/GZA: Liquid Swords ---Ink Blot Magazine
We form like Voltron and the GZA happens to be at the head." 1995's Liquid Swords was the fourth Wu-Tang solo effort.
Liquid Swords provides clarity to any quandary about what it means to be lyrically sharp.
In this way, Liquid Swords defines the Wu-Tang method -- lyrics as the ultimate weaponry in the battle for survival -- using the vocabulary of drug deals, mafia jargon and kung fu battles as metaphor for tests of rhyme skills.

 :: 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).
Now, as Wu-Tang is in the process of redemption, Gza/Genius is attempting to regain his thrown that he sat on when "Liquid Swords" was released.
It is ironic that Gza named this LP "Legend Of The Liquid Sword" since he will always be compared (or made reference to) his solo classic "Liquid Swords".

 Liquid Swords - The Genius - Song Listings
All of his collaborators shape themselves to his quietly intimidating style, giving Liquid Swords a strongly consistent tone and making it an album that gradually slithers its way under your skin.
Creepily understated tracks like "Liquid Swords," "Cold World," "Investigative Reports," and "I Gotcha Back" are the album's bread and butter, but there's the occasional lighter moment ("Labels" incorporates the names of as many record companies as possible) and spiritual digression ("Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth").
Overall, though, Liquid Swords is possibly the most unsettling album in the Wu canon (even ahead of Ol' Dirty Bastard), and it ranks with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx as one of the group's undisputed classics.

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.
I strongly recommend the purchase of "Liquid Swords" to all passing hip hop fans, this is even one of those albums that could sell rap to a non fan.

Musically, LIQUID SWORDS is the Clan's strongest solo release to date, and lyrically, Genius comes correct with a style he describes as "too swift to bite".
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.
His latest release 'Legend Of The Liquid Sword' is a step back in the right direction, but Gza will have to go someway to topping this.

Liquid Swords is first and foremost a Wu-Tang Clan album.

The song titles of LIQUID SWORDS do not appear in order on the CD package.
Musically, LIQUID SWORDS is the Clan's strongest solo release to date, and lyrically, Genius comes correct with a style he describes as "too swift to bite." LIQUID SWORDS is comprised of two types of songs, all backed by the RZA's skillful production.
On "Duel Of The Iron Mic," he's joined by a number of fellow Clansmen to reinstate the idea that no one can match them, despite numerous attempts to copy their image and concepts.

Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in every borough of New York City, The GZA's workmanship can be found three albums deep with classics dating back to 1991 including the albums Words From The Genius, the gold-selling Liquid Swords and Beneath The Surface.

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.
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.
In music, regardless of the genre, when an artist has mastered his/her craft past a certain threshold, it ceases to be simply fodder for head phones, or a mood altering or enhancing aid; it becomes true art.

Why does someone who has such story telling and comparison lyrical skills is not on the radio and flowing in the mainstream and appearing on TRL and BET.
Also, his second Wu album was O.K., but the "Legend of The Liquid Sword" is hot too.
This album, Liquid Swords, truly defines the classic Wu-Tang sound, just like the first Wu-Tang Clan album and the first Raekwon album before it.

What he was describeing in Protect Ya Neck, and on his second album 'Liquid Swords' had to do with his old record company and how it went bad.
To many 'Liquid Swords' is considered a classic and the best wu-solo album.
The first single from the album was "Breaker, Breaker" was a hot track, but not the liquid swords style of even the 36 chambers style.

Liquid Swords gehört für mich zum allerbesten Album das jemals vom Clan kam.....das Album überzeugt von Anfang bis Ende...noch um einiges dreckiger und düsterer als die 36 Chambers....und mit einem GZA in Hochform!!
Liquid Swords ist ein recht düsteres Album,wie man es damals halt vom Clan gewohnt war.Die Beats sind ausnahmslos sehr gut gelungen und zu GZAs Reimkünsten muss ich sowieso nichts mehr sagen.

 GZA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The album, however, was a commercial disappointment; GZA's experience with Cold Chillin, combined with a similar ordeal for RZA at Tommy Boy, generated a bitterness towards the music industry that would be expressed lyrically throughout his career, and would ultimately provide the impetus for the Wu-Tang Clan's revolutionary ruthless business strategy.
His fourth solo album was Legend of the Liquid Sword in 2002 (see 2002 in music), which was mostly well-received by critics.
GZA proclaims that the tongue is representative of the sword, thus incorporates this "deadly technique" into his rhymes.

 Genius/GZA :: Liquid Swords :: Geffen Records
Wisely, Geffen chose to bill his solo debut "Liquid Swords" under BOTH names - implying both his mental prowess and his association with the now famous Wu-Tang Clan in one fell swoop.
Clearly this was a product of the Clan; at the same time it was finally time for Gary Grice to get the shine he had for so long been unfairly denied.
From the album's introduction onward, we learn just how serious the task before GZA is. Up until this point a lot of the Clan's samples from Kung-Fu movies had a somewhat comical or campy value, but on "Liquid Swords" they're downright creepy as fuck.

In this debate, Nas has to get extra points for basically taking on the entire Wu-Tang Clan and their completely perfect verses spit on Liquid Swords.
I'm not comparing GZA and Nas though, it's Liquid Swords/Illmatic as overall albums.
All of the guest spots on Liquid Swords only help it, there isn't one bar spit on there that makes it any less of an album.
