Product Description
Amazon.ca
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

Liquid Swords (Vinyl)
This is one of my favourite hip hop albums and this remaster sounds great on vinyl. I recommend it to any fan of Liquid Swords.
I had to give this 3 stars though as I did not get a poster + insert with the record. The label clearly states that it is supposed to come with a full sized poster. I sent it back once but the second copy I recieved did not have a poster either!
Finally, I just gave up considering that in the end, the content on the record is all that really matters. Having said that, it would have been nice to get a poster and insert like I was supposed to.

Legendary Liquid Swords
Although this album was released all the way back in 1995, I just got my first taste of it. I have always known about Wu Tang Clan but I never got a chance to hear much from them... Read more

A must own for anyone into real hip hop
Best Wu solo joint of all time, period. Only Wu related album that tops this is 36 Chambers - enough said.

2nd Best Wu-Tang Solo
This could arguably be the best Wu-Tang solo album. Once again, the RZA lays down his amazing beats for his fellow Clan-mate to glide over. Read more

This is a classic. My desert island Wu-Tang pick, simply because everyone else would be packing '...36 Chambers.' And maybe they'd be right... Read more
