Is this Swans' best album

no, check out To Be Kind and Soundtracks for the Blind

no they're all shit

>>71217003
over-rated

>>71217019
have you actually listened to any of them though or are you just doing a meme?

>>71217058
yes i have. Songs that repeat one word over and over and drone with no purpose or structure isn't for me.

>>71217134
So that means you haven't, then.

>>71217134
One song doesn't count.

>>71217003
Yes, along with Swans are Dead. To Be Kind and Soundtracks for the Blind are close behind and most of their discography is great.

>>71217180
Give me a top 5 to listen to.

Alongside the great annihilator yes

>>71217003
not my favorite tbqh

>>71217134
FLEX YOUR MUSCLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

Yes it is

But their best track ever is Helpless Child

Best? Dunno, TBK seems more efficient and Soundtracks more artistically ambitious. But its definitely my favorite because of how anachronistic and wicked The Seer sounds. Its like it comes from some alternate reality.

30 min songs, that seems to last hours.

no thanks

>>71217134
You just exposed that you haven't actually listened to them.
>>71217003
A lot of people on /mu/ think so, but I disagree. To Be Kind and Cop are both 11/10 albums.
Soundtracks has great highlights but too many missteps.
>>71217203
Listen to Swans Are Dead.

>>71218745
listened to SFTB. Piece of shit hipster album with 30 min songs. No thanks i have a life

well, yes. where do you think you are? maybe r/hiphopheads is more your taste.

>>71217203
Soundtracks For The Blind, Swans Are Dead, Love Of Life, The Burning World, White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity

>>71218953
>The Burning World
WHAT THE FUCK?

>>71218906
"Hipster album"
Not an argument.

>>71217427
Their best track is Blind though.

Fuck, this is some shitty cover version.

This is the song I was talking about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_xA03NBQGQ

>>71217203
The Great Annihilator and Holy Money are the best in my opinion.

Song for a Warrior sucked but The Seer is their best album after reformation. Best overall is TGA

>>71219004
>Fuck, this is some shitty cover version.
That's the song as it was originally arranged, Mike performs it that way on tour. The album version from Drainland is cruddy and overproduced.

No, it isn't. Quit deluding yourself.

>>71217229
Way to much filler
>>71219303
The original is on Various Failures and White Light you fucking retard

>>71219680
>the original
White Light didn't originally have Blind. Gira added it later. Although, I'm pretty sure the Drainland/White Light version is still the original.

boring drone. Swans are only ever discussed on this board by hipsters.

Can we all agree that this is the most underrated album?

>>71220253
Absolutely

>>71217039
>>71217018
>>71217058
>>71217229

It's actually very clear that of the post rock era, The Seer is their most accomplished and focused work. Like, not even up for debate

>>71217018
I couldn't really get into soundtracks, any particular mindset I should approach it with?

>>71220398
Learn how to get into their early albums first.

HE WROTE IT THAT WAY ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR, YOU FUCKING MONGOLOID.

It doesn't matter how it ended up on the release, because arrangements can change on a release, especially with a full band.

>>71217003
If not Soundtracks, then it's definitely this. For sure best of the recent trilogy.

Btw, Glowing Man > To Be Kind
