you're right it's post-rock

Swans are the most overrated band on /mu/

Early Swans is literally metal/or hardcore for people who are too pussy, too pretentious, or too ADHD to enjoy those genres. That's why every track just repeats almost the same damn thing with no variation to water heavy music down for plebs.

Children Of God is Industrial for babies who are too scared to get into the much wilder and often harsher experiences of masters like Throbbing Gristle or Einstürzende Neubauten.

Neo-folk era Swans is for people who got too intimidated by the complexities of the arrangements of folk geniuses like Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and now Joanna Newsom so instead these people listen to the most repetitive folk songs on the planet. Shit, at least the really old as shit folk songs were not this long even if just as repetitive.

Soundtracks For The Blind is touted as their masterpiece, but it's really just Swans' gimmick record. On the surface it will impress anyone not experienced with a variety of music, because it sure does bring some variety, but a closer look will show just how awful it is. Take a track like Helpless Child for example. In a world where we have bands like Talk Talk and Godspeed You! Black Emperor who make these long dirges with constant changes, we have this track that makes very little changes if at all until later into the song when giant drones start to take over. Or what about Volcano, which, even though it's a dancey electronic track, has none of the percussive intricacy outside the main percussion heard in the beginning to make the track groove better like the best house/techno.

But perhaps the worst is their latest output, which does what potential GOAT krautrock contender band Amon Düül II did on their legendary improvisation tracks, yet do it with a similar approach every. Single. Track. Shit, they don't even have actual cool ass riffs to bookend the builds like ADII either, just bland builds.

I'm assuming this is pasta but how the fuck is Swans Metal or Hardcore for people with ADHD? People with short-attention spans don't listen to 30 minute long track
