ITT: Post an artist's best album
>>71427023
Translation:
>>71426996
To Be Kind has some of Swans' best songs on it, but holistically I don't think I could call it their best.
I know there's not a lot of WEG listeners on this board (at least not much compared to other artists). But I still think this is better than Hurtbreak Wonderland, even if that album has his best song on it.
>>71427067
>>71427178
Holy shit I forgot that this exist.
>>71427178
I got a signed copy of this from Dev.
>>71427150
>Better than Hurtbreak
Disagreed, but mad respect for posting WEG my dude
>>71427178
Terria is his best though
that or Ocean Machine
>>71427041
Nope, the man is right
>>71427023
>>71427150
Probably the only western place you'll find them besides rym.

Funny
>>71429287
If I wanted to hear early Swans I'd listen to Cop or Public Castration is a Good Idea. Filth is great but it's not their best.

there s only one good song on that album
>>71429529
I count more than one
>Lunacy
>Mother of the World
>The Seer
>Avatar
>A Piece of the Sky
>The Apostate
It's also an artform's best album.
>>71429526

These are the only right ones in the thread btw
>>71426996
>>71431345
this better
Mount Eerie is so close, but I think Glow 2 edges it out
>>71431122
This is true but only because everything they make is so shit
>>71429601
now that's what I call contrarian
>>71429513
>suggesting
This is tied with Larks Tongues
>>71431160
i support this, anon
Twinkle destroys me every time
>>71429575
How do you not like AML! more? Is this indicative of most of /mu/?
>>71427769
my unpopular opinion ^
>>71434102
same. also this
>>71426996
The Great Annihilator, and To Be Kind is the worst post-revival Swans album.
>>71430807
I personally favor HTTT but in all sincerity it's either this or AMSP.
>>71429170
Slow Riot.
>>71429526
But Closer is better than UP.
>>71431000
808s.
>>71431122
The Terror.
>>71431365
Daydream Nation or Confusion is Sex.
>>71430718
This or i care because you do
>>71429639
That doesn't really count. It is Mono AND WEG after all.
>>71435165
you have good ass taste
but i still like evol
>>71429140
Swans are Dead imo, the live album adds such a cool vibe to everything
>>71429170
Bless you, this album is so fucking strong
>>71431897
This album has a serious special place in my heart but Mount Eerie is a religious experience
>>71435201
That's not Leviathan
>>71427150
What's your favorite WEG song then? I like Ghost of a Horse a lot but I'd be surprised if others called it his best.
>>71435597
>That's not Leviathan
Yeah I know, I was careful to select that image
>>71435621
I think Dance For Borderline Miscanthus is my favorite, but Ending Story, Black Hole Bird and Give Me Shadow, Put On My Crown are other favorites of mine.
>>71429679

>>71431058
GKMC
This is his worst album
>>71431087
>>71431142
Still need to listen to Alive, but not including that, Discovery
Better then cross the line but by a slight edge. French house and disco plus drum and bass is amazing.
>>71431142
Mix album but their best. That prime time of your life and robot rock mixes are my favorites. I rode my bike to that 10 minute song and my legs were burning up from the song
>>71437229
>Still need to listen to Alive
do it do it do it do it now
>>71427356
yes
>>71429526
yes. better than closer.
>>71430725
objectively yes
>>71431058
yes, anyone who doesn't realize this is retarded.
>>71434978

>>71435304
i prefer ICBYD over this but close
saved from the pits
>>71431122
That's not Embryonic
>>71435034
Oh I love this album. It's easily their best
im here for my (you)s

>>71440002
mmmmm give it to me daddy. im not kidding about tweez btw
>>71440083
Tweez is just a Bug Black ripoff album. It's barely an album it's just some guys in a room with instruments and it sounds like it, not necessarily to it's benefit. I really enjoy it but it doesn't compare to Spiderland.

While this is my favourite album currently, I don't think it matches the technical prowess of V;D;C at all. You Will Never Know Why could pass for Stereolab b-sides, while V;D;C stands out as this rather unique monolith of an album. YWNKW also comes off a bit more scatterbrained, compared to the extreme precision that V;D;C seems to have. I personally enjoy that, but I think I'd have rather heard something more akin to a sequel to V;D;C than slightly nuanced noise-pop.
I think it's a toss-up between Bloom and this, tbqh lad.
>>71427041
I called it before I went into this thread even though it's one of their worst albums in my opinion.
>>71443163
as much as i love this album i think that VDC is so much better
>>71444512
>>71427041
Could the anon who posted Piper please care to explain why, in their opinion it is PF's best album? Because it just baffles me how you could actually think that. Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall are miles ahead of Piper in terms of instrumentation, structure, songwriting, conceptualization and overall accessibility, IMO.
>>71437283

Scaruffi says so.
Tell me this isn't their greatest creation
