filth and cop are literally their worst albums. judging by your picture those are what you've listened to. swans get better with age up until SFTB and then they get a bit worse every year

try this

someone give me more like cocteau twins blue bell knoll

By no means am I a Swans fan, but To Be Kind is actually a pretty decent album. The other stuff is too F A R O U T for me apart from that album. Try the opening track, Screenshot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HKIjG9JH6c

> I just haven't heard anything I really liked by them
What albums by them have you listened to?

Anyway, personally I think Helpless Child is not only their best song, but also the number one best song of the 90s. It's not on YouTube because of copyright bullshit. Listen to it on high quality audio.

>>71292437
just because it's their worst doesn't mean it's bad

filth and cop are by far their worst

>>71292323
I like this a lot

>>71292337
These too

>>71292371
Mostly TBK and The Seer,

I'm starting to get why you guys like them though after listening to some of this stuff

>>71292381
Here's a Boards of Canada song I like a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lCmtyt3M0g
Geogaddi is a good album if you like that.

>>71292502
yeah swans are probably the most difficult band to get into that's discussed on mu

at first i hated children of god but after a few listens it grew on me. but you really have to put it on when you have the time. SFTB is pretty much music to listen to when you're on a walk or doing nothing

>>71292337
I really like that first song you linked, is the rest of that album like that?

>>71292642
sort of, the rest of the songs are more challenging than killing for company though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc25xw3s5fE

>>71292461
Not even Disorder? Well if you didn't like that album you're probably never gonna get into them as a band. Still, you could try these songs, they're more accessible than most of the stuff in their two studio albums:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVdheR0bUwI (This was the last song they wrote as Joy Division, but they recorded it when Curtis had already killed himself so they'd changed their name to New Order)

>This video is not available. Sorry about that :/
I guess it's just blocked in my country.
Gira you fucking xenophobe.

>>71292791
I like it, I do listen to experimental stuff but something about swans just didn't click with me at first

>>71292903
shiet that sucks dude. can you atleast get the swans are dead helpless child? it's almost as good as the studio

also the i hear that some people prefer the second album by joy division so i'll give that a try. disorder has been growing on me but his voice and the overall instrumentation feels, not as revolutionary as i thought it was gonna sound.

and wtf love will tear us apart i thought that was a swans song but i guess im retarded

>>71292323
THIS ISNT SWANS ITS A MICHEAL GIRA SOLO RELEASE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I've listened to Sung Tongs, MPP, Spirit, and part of Feels.
I don't get it. It's just distorted pop with vocals I can barely understand and an occasional burst of bleeps and noise.

>>71293073
I have SFTB and SAD in my hard drive, I just wanted to show that song to OP. I hope that link works for him.

If you didn't like UP I doubt you'll like Closer. It's great but much less accessible. But yeah, give it a try anyway.

And you're not retarded. Swans released a cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart as a single in 88.

>>71293249
Listen to Painting With.

>>71293816
Literally their worst album.

>>71293249
listen to strawberry jam and spirit they've gone spirit they've vanished

btw sung tongs is great

>>71293249

This song got me liking them.

>>71293157
LOL was thinking the same thing but less autistic

>>71292325
Honestly a great starting song but I wouldn't introduce Swans to someone with this album but this song for sure.

I just don't get Joy Division. I tried listening to Unknown Pleasures but it's just a whiny singer and not a lot of instrumentation.

Yeah i like Only Shallow but i can't connect with the rest of the disc is just noise and annoying. any tips?

>>71294050
maybe adjust your eq, the noise/fuzz shouldn't drown out the other elements of the album. The noise is also part of the appeal of course so it might just not be for you. Turn up the volume a bit maybe, it would be easier to make out the vocals/drums/keyboards that way.

>>71294045
imo Closer has better lyrics and better songwriting in general, but if you don't like unknown pleasures i don't think you'd like closer. Joy Division is just kind of a divisive band I think, which I get.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AqeqAQ1ILI

>>71294045
I can't deal with his voice either

>>71294050
You could try their MBV album?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBKjhgHGVZs

but honestly if you don't like really noisy shit you probably just won't like any of their stuff

>>71294050

the solution with this album is always turn it up louder or get higher

>>71294050
have you listened to their 2013 album?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAWl6YeCN_w

first and second track are pretty easy

>>71294050
It's an amazing album. You need to listen to it on high quality audio so you can notice all the details, melodies and layers. Don't listen to it on YouTube or Spotify. Download it on FLAC and play it through good speakers or headphones on high volume, and if you have an audio amplifier use it. If after doing this you still can't appretiate To Here Knows When, When You Sleep (the two best songs in the album), Blown A Wish or Sometimes then I guess it's just not for you.

As some other anons said, getting high makes it even more amazing. But anything sounds amazing when you're high, so... I guess that doesn't say much.

FLEX YOUR MUSCLES

>>71294050
Listening to this I had the exact opposite experience

>>71292257
why do people do this,

IF YOU DONT LIKE IT

WHY FORCE YOURSELF

literally autism incarnate, swans are one of my favourite bands, bc i enjoy the music

>>71292325
blue bell knoll is pleb, fuck you

>>71292381
Listen to the Come To Daddy ep. I thinks it's his best, with a good mix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLHtV_S2HZw
