uh
I definitely don't think he has the best verses on wu-tang albums, I would probably put him somewhere in the middle in that regard, but I firmly believe liquid swords is the best wu-tang affiliated record period. It's become a cliche in rap music to use the term 'hypnotic' but it ****ing is. There's not many better examples I can think of a rapper completely owning the beat on every single track

What is it that you like about it?

First things first I love rza's production, and I think swords has some of his most haunting beats ever, and gza's flow matches up with them so perfectly that it always sucks me in. That combined with the often dark but always bleak lyrics about society and culture make it an album that I have to give my full attention every time I put it on. I can't browse the internet and listen to it because it's so hypnotic. I'm not sure how you feel about wu as a whole, but I would say it's not 'entry level'(another term I hate to use) for them. I don't agree but I can understand the argument that some people make that their music is boring at times, and gza is one of the less 'fun' members, but if you're a fan of the sound I don't see what would make it less appealing then say 36 chambers or supreme clientele.

not to mention I think the kill bill (or whatever movie it's originally from) sample is an awesome album opener.

Classic Rock sucks. This is so freaking good. Be sure to hang with it. It's worth it.

I was reading a few if the first pages of this thread, and saw a lot of Tool hate, so is it unpopular to say that Tool ****ing rules?

If not then it should be.

My biggest complaint with Liquid Swords is the most critical aspect of the album: GZA's voice. I can’t stand to listen to him, and the entire album unravels for me because of it. The title track in particular is more isufferable than listening to Axl Rose.

Both Ænima and Lateralus are perfect albums. 10000 Days is spotty, but still good. Don't understand half the hate they get.

Perfectly boring. I'd rather listen to ****ing Dream Theater.
