Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 11/30/95, pp.66-67
3 Stars - Good - "...It's probably the heaviest Wu-Tang production to date....Genius pulls you into his chamber headfirst....LIQUID SWORDS cuts to the bone, another deadly efficient Wu-banger..."Entertainment Weekly - 12/22/95, p.70
"...an intriguing paradox of wordplay and profanity, juvenilia and wisdom." - Rating: B+Q - 2/96, p.96
4 Stars - Excellent - "...inventively laid-back sample collage of hip hop that offsets his biting messages...the result is dramatic and hypnotic..."The Wire - 10/01, p.46
"...Genius trades 'romance' for 'crime'...and his icy skills certainly work better with darker scenarios..."Option - 3-4/96, pp.104-105
"...Genius' verbalistics evoke that creepy feeling you get negotiating certain inner-city neighborhoods on pitch black nights..."Melody Maker - 12/23-30/95, pp.66-67
Ranked #42 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's 'Albums Of The Year.'Melody Maker - 11/25/95, p.36
"...the keywords...are synthetic and cinematic....the narrator of these ghostly/ghastly horrorcore tales is on the outside looking in, a voyeur...buzzing off the ghetto misery, wondering how to respond....one of the dozen or so best (G-Funk) albums of the year."Rap Pages - 1/96, p.31
8 (out of 10) - "...LIQUID SWORDS presents the GZA as sword-style rhyme originator, holding court over his young disciples....reverential guest appearances from the rest of the Clan...inject the album with some of its most memorable moments....Wu-Tang continue to challenge and confound all expectations of what their music is about..."Q (Magazine) - p.117
4 stars out of 5 -- "GZA's understated tough-guy tales are delivered with laboratory precision and witty street poetry that sounds fresh today."Mojo (Publisher) - p.107
4 stars out of 5 -- "[This] sees the Wu Tang man and his producer/cousin RZA at their hypnotic, never-bettered best."NME (Magazine) - 12/23-30/95, pp.22-23
Ranked #30 in NME's 'Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995.NME (Magazine) - 11/11/95, p.46
9 (out of 10) - "...The best hip-hop album for years. Fact...The RZA's production...is spooked, creaky, incredibly dense....The tricks he's practised on previous Clan albums...reach their apogee here....Genius' quite brilliant lyrics [have] a complexity, a rush of imagery, a strangely poetic drama of brutality..."Tracks on Disc 1:
