>>74325621
I do yeah. It's punishment for when I sin.

>>74325621
No, it's actually a fantastic exploration of upcoming industrial, dark folk and post-rock ideas of the late 90's

and an excellent parting gift from what was a criminally underrated group

>>74325621
>*deletes Volcano*
Ahh, that's better.

Not even inaccessible. If you cant listen to this you dont belong here

>>74325621
This album is best listened to that way. There's more than enough variation between the tracks to keep it interesting

>>74326085

Volcano is basically a fucked up madonna song.
Excellent track

>>74326097
It's definitely inaccessible to the average person but if you've been browsing this board for at least a couple of months and you still can't "get into it" then you can fuck right off.

>>74326097
>implying its not inaccessible

fuck you i want to feel SPECIAL when im listening to music

i don't like jorble's voice

>>74325621
Nah, people listen to it because it has cool sounds

Yes, if you unironically want to listen to more than two (2) hours of boring three chord rock with whooshing sounds and chanting over it you are either retarded or masochistic.

>>74326212
It's 50/50 for me. Jarboe's voice can be beautiful when utilized correctly (You Need Me, Blackmail, Mother's Milk) but other times she's just kind of screechy and obnoxious (Mother/Father, Yum Yab Killers).

>>74326085
>>74326212
plebs

They definitely do.

Swans are the most overrated band on /mu/

Early Swans is literally heavy music like metal or hardcore but for people who are too pussy, too pretentious, or too ADHD to enjoy those other heavy 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.

>>74325621
How so? I don't know why people keep saying that this album is creep. There are a lot of beautiful moments in it.
