Recording sessions for the album ::: ::: began midway through 1995 at producer RZA's basement studio ::: ::: in the New York City borough of Staten Island. The album ::: ::: heavily samples dialogue from the martial arts film Shogun ::: ::: Assassin and maintains a dark atmosphere throughout its ::: ::: course, while it incorporates lyrical references to chess, ::: ::: crime and philosophy. Liquid Swords features numerous guest ::: ::: appearances from the entire nine piece Wu-Tang Clan, and ::: ::: also Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest. ::: ::: ::: ::: Upon its release, Liquid Swords peaked at number nine on the ::: ::: Billboard 200 chart, and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop ::: ::: Albums chart. The Recording Industry Association of America ::: ::: (RIAA) certified the album platinum in sales nearly 20 years ::: ::: after its release. Upon its initial release, Liquid Swords ::: ::: received critical acclaim for its complex lyricism and ::: ::: hypnotic musical style. Over the years, its recognition has ::: ::: grown, with a number of famous publishers proclaiming it as ::: ::: one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. In 2007, the ::: ::: Chicago Tribune cited it as "one of the most substantial ::: ::: lyrical journeys in hip-hop history. ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: . .. . . .. . ::: ::: ::. .:: ::: ::: .::' : . . : `::. ::: :::..:::' . . `:::..::: :'' ``. . : . . . . . . . . : . .'' ``: .' .... . : . | | . : . .... `. . .:'' ``::. :: : | --+-[ 2 0 2 0 ]-+-- | : :: .::'' ``:. . .' `::.::: | | . . . . . . . . | | :::.::' `. . `:.::: | | | | :::.:' . : ::: | | ----+-[ iTS ]-+---- | | ::: : . - . ::: | | . . . . . . . . | | ::: . - . .:: ::: | | | | ::: ::. ::: . ::: | | ...iNtERRUptiNG | | ::: . ::: ::: : ::: | | thE..SilENCE... | | ::: : ::: ::: :: ::: | | - --- - | | ::: :: ::: ::: ::: . ::: | |__ _ . .aSc. . _ __| | ::: . ::: ::: ::::::: . ::: | .: +fUM+ :. | ::: . ::::::: ::: ::: ' ::: | .::: `cRO' :::. | ::: ` ::: ::: :: :::.
