- 7/10(Excellent!)
Although the album is considered a classic, from a production and sound quality perspective, Liquid Swords has not aged well which is a trait that many of the first wave of Wu-Tang solo albums suffer from. This in turn may put off younger listeners who are just discovering the Wu-Tang’s catalogue. The GZA’s performance is the highlight of the album as the entire album is nothing more than a metaphorical chess game. His rhymes, which many will mistake as not making any sense, will leave you scratching your head. Whether newer listeners dislike this is an open question but it is worth a listen as The GZA’s lyriscm is rich in metaphor.
