Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "This sees the Wu Tang man and his producer/cousin RZA at their hypnotic, never-bettered best.", "...an intriguing paradox of wordplay and profanity, juvenilia and wisdom." - Rating: B+, 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...", "...Genius trades 'romance' for 'crime'...and his icy skills certainly work better with darker scenarios...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...inventively laid-back sample collage of hip hop that offsets his biting messages...the result is dramatic and hypnotic...", Ranked #30 in NME's `Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995., "...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.", "...Genius' verbalistics evoke that creepy feeling you get negotiating certain inner-city neighborhoods on pitch black nights...", 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...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "GZA's understated tough-guy tales are delivered with laboratory precision and witty street poetry that sounds fresh today.", 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...", Ranked #42 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year.'
