Description

Liquid Swords is the second solo studio album from Wu-Tang Clan member GZA. Upon its initial release, Liquid Swords received critical acclaim for its complex lyricism and hypnotic musical style. Over the years, its recognition has grown, with a number of famous publishers proclaiming it as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Continuing with its Respect The Classics campaign, UMe will be reissuing the classic back on standard weight vinyl for its 20th anniversary.

  • Very Insightful Album
The GZA: With all of his Science (both dropping it and the literal meaning here). He's so smart. That's one of the reasons as to why I listen to him (I discovered the album "Planetary Energy" on YouTube and wish it would have been produced on a tangible form). After reading both of RZA's books, I decided to read about the Five Percent Nation, that of which is lyrically emphasized on this album, especially "B.I.B.L.E." and "Swordsman". One just simply cannot understand what is being lyricized on this album unless they have some basic Knowledge of the NGE. I mean, I guess one could groove out to the beats, but it's meaningless unless you know a bit about the NGE. This album is a classic. I wanted to support GZA's album stats and decided to buy this CD so that it contributes to his total album sales count. He's no doubt one of my favorite emcees. ... show more

  • Almost feels like 36 Chambers Pt. 2 and thats good
GZA dropped something with this album that is very rare. It grabs you emotionally, you feel the intensity of the lyrics in your bones, and RZA's beats set an atmosphere that sucks you into the record. I've got nothing bad to say about the album; GZA is really one of the most intelligent MC's out there and sounds like a poetic guru the way he pours his rhymes out on this. - Most of the Clan guest on different songs on this and they for the most part deliver some of their best moments ever. Ol Dirty even appears here and does wonders for the song he guests on. If there was ever a sequel to the original "Enter the 36 Chambers", I'd have to say that "Liquid Swords" reminds me the most of it and in some ways even improves on the original formula. - This album is extremely intense and makes you think. It may have movie samples and talk about the streets but the GZA goes intellectual with his lyrics and has a way of getting you to hang on his every word. With RZA being paired with GZA in one way or another this entire album, it's apparent that GZA brings out a side of RZA that I'd like to hear more. "B.I.B.L.E.", the last song on the album, is amazing in the sense that it makes a lot of valid points without losing flow or power and raises some questions that needed some awareness. Point is: If you own a couple Wu-Tang albums and don't know where to go from where you're at, go here and you'll love this. Everybody who's a fan of Wu-Tang knows what I'm talking about already most likely. This is an album every rap fan should own in my opinion. Buy it. ... show more

  • Five-mic Wu Album Starring GZA
I'm like Maya Angelou when it comes to Liquid Swords: thirteen tracks, and they are all my favorite. I listened to the album last night with the intention of writing a review on here today. Continuous play with no undesirable tracks to skip, no filler. Like any Wu record of that era--some of the martial arts film sound clips attached to the top or end of songs can seem long or non sequitur. Slow on the uptake, I learned from Wikipedia that "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth" is a backronym of "bible". As great as this record is, and all its acclamation considered, I take issue with this being regarded unofficially as a GZA/Genius solo album. Nearly every cut but the title song is dominated by one other member or another from Wu-Tang Clan (e.g., Inspectah Deck, Killah Priest). This is no more a GZA album than "Winter Warz" is a Ghostface Killah single. Liquid Swords is a Killa Bee in Genius clothing. Although it's definitely an upgrade from the poppy Father M.C. style "Words From The Genius" debut, I regard Beneath The Surface [Explicit] instead as GZA's sophomore solo record. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this album to those who satiate with lyrical content over smooth, rough beats. I welcome new listeners to hip-hop music. Dig for this record as a study and take from it a history lesson of the art form. ... show more

  • I've been waiting for a box set like this for a long time.
This is just an awesome set. It contains a whole bunch of things. First, there are two records containing the album. Then there are another two of the instrumental versions. Next, there is a booklet with great artwork and all the lyrics. Additionally, the box contains some stickers. To top it all off, the whole thing is a functioning chess set with a chess board both in the box itself and on the booklet. A set of wooden chess pieces is included. As for the quality of the packaging, it is great. The box has a magnetic latch. The vinyl in heavy also. This would be a great set for any album, but this album is especially excellent. If you aren't familiar with this album, you need to hear it right away. Every time I introduce one of my friends to it, they listen to it for a week or two at a time. A hard-hitting, influential, hip-hop masterpiece. RZAs beats peppered with GZAs rhymes stand out as one of the best combinations of that era. This box set can also be found on CD if that is more your speed. I highly recommend getting this limited edition version while you still can. ... show more
