ill get it some day
even if its just stockholm syndrome i will force myself to love it

Man I love Animal Collective but just can't get into most of this yet

its ok that ones bad

i dont do stupid shit like that

into the trash it goes

i aint scared

chz has 2 bad songs

so does painting with

once u look past the loud noisy synths the whole albums just kind of boring unoriginal inde rock songs

...

pretty much every swans album for me, i mean I listen to them and they're GOOD, but I just dont feel it, y'know man

because its dumb conceptual art

cool on paper; boring irl

or

cool on paper; im high on drugs

someday it will click

i did it around the 250 scrobbles, don't give up.

kind of, yeah, but side c is legit some of their best work

>boring
nice subjectivity

im not bored by it

Listen to some of the Loveless clones first. LSD & the Search for God, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Turning into Small.
People say Loveless is an inaccessible album (though I can't say I can relate) and I think the above albums are more accessible.

I actually found STGSTV easier to like than Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam. Feels is the only AnCo that clicked with me the first listen though.

Strawberry Jam was the second AnCo album I listened to and that clicked almost instantly with me. Peacebone was really good, the next 2 tracks were pretty good as well but a soon as For Reverend Green hit I pretty much fell in love.

that album clicked me way late when I first came to Sup Forums and after its first try
turns out listening to Bloom (Beach House) helped me a bit.....

also, no headphones,no Loveless

Have you listen to them all? I can't see Filth as being conceptual, it's pretty straightforward

It gets easier after the first two tracks.

ITT: Stockholm Syndrome

I've listened to tbk, the seer and sftb

back when AnCo actually had a unique sound before they just tried to endlessly copy Brian Wilson.

PERSON PITCH
take pills is so good and i feel like the rest of the album is gonna click v soon

Yeah, I'd say definitely try Filth. A lot of people say you shouldn't because it's inaccessible (though, I've never seen it as any more inaccessible than any of Swans' other stuff), but I think it lays down a good idea of the sound that most of Swans work share, that being the use of repetition as a foundation and then building off of that.

Plus, Filth is very melodic and almost danceable, which is why I don't see it as very inaccessible at all

Oh yeah man, it took me a few listens but when it clicked, it was like my eyes were opened. That's a great record

alright man, thanks for the help

I instantly loved it. But dont give up. Itd my fave album of all time.

...

...

None of AnCo clicked for me till I heard spirits, which I loved instantly. It also made me appreciate every other anco release, surprisingly.

2nd easiest swans release, muh dad will show me a ladder up the sky is the easiest imo

except for the yum-yab killers, I don't think it is meant to be enjoyed on any level.

Nah, the early stuff is way easier

Yum-Yab Killers is good though. Don't tell me you don't like Volcano

The fact that you call it "easy" is what puts me off

Not that guy, but Volcano is fucking amazing.

"Easy" as in accessible, and we're talking relative to Swans releases, not just whatever normie music

Yeah, it is. People who don't like it because of the drum machine are dumb

what is the burning world
