Swans are not No Wave. Nor are Sonic Youth. Nor is Glenn Branca's solo work.
Carson Sanders
Black metal: Burzum - Filoselm
Dungeon Synth: Depressive Silence
Daniel Gray
Great album too
Elijah Ward
s/t and roman candle are better anyway
Jaxson Morales
thats really the only album in the genre anyone actually likes
Liam Robinson
That just reduces it to Teenage jesus, DNA, Mars and Contortions and thats no fun now is it?
Granted if you broaden it to the stylistically similar bands that followed immediately after its not like there's heaps to choose from.
Lincoln Hernandez
ok almighty genre decider
Matthew King
"coz i said so"
All of them are from the same scene and were doing something similar, the difference is that they didn't dissolve like Teenage Jesus, DNA and changed the course of their careers
Adam Watson
Ya they are gay faggot
Jacob Sullivan
Probably Another timewaster and attentionseeker, it's astonishing and miserable the amount of these things on Sup Forums.
Jason Scott
Well you surely know more than everyone else
David Jackson
Self Titled is his best, I think Either/Or is better than Roman Candle tho

There are very little no wave albums start with

Camden Kelly
XO and Figure 8 are best
Carter Kelly
end this meme
both were part of the original scene. swans s/t is full on no wave, and they retained aspects of the musical style up until greed/holy money-era. sonic youth were no wave too up until bmr at least for the same reasons. i agree that branca's symphonies are not though.
Jackson Lewis
XO > Elliott Smith = Roman Candle > FABOTH > Either/Or = New Moon > Figure 8
Figure 8 sounds too homogeneous for its own good and is by and large awesome but has some of his worst songs by a p huge margin
XO is where he had the resources to make the arrangements he wanted but kept it interesting so that they didn't all sound the same and also every song is a 10/10 except for maybe Amity
Lucas Garcia
they literally hung out with the same people at the same venues.
Jonathan Johnson
Now its this
Owen Taylor
Though this is actually good compared to Pulse Demon.
Angel Collins
Are you actually retarded or just trying to bait? Obviously No New York would be the first since it's the only reason that one was even released
Nathaniel Cooper
I don't get how every slightly experimental thing on youtube links to this now
Easton Gomez
Figure 8 doesn't deserve to be last. It had his worst songs, yeah, but it also had some of his best
>That chilling bell ring on Junk Bond Trader
>Everything Means Nothing to Me
Luke Taylor
Yeah but it's got his highest ratio of bad songs to great songs
If anything it's not really a statement on Figure 8 being bad it's just the others being god-tier
Brandon Jackson
baby's first, but also shoegazing's magnum opus.
Jose Stewart
Never even heard that album though. DNA was my first after listening to Swans
Julian Lee
...
Brody Mitchell
yeah definitely, still a nice album though
Eli Price
what genre? indie folk? indie pop? indie rock?
Camden Brooks
unfortunately
Jack King
But that's because you're retarded, any one who actually gets into No Wave historically, all started with No New York...most other No Wave albums are only no wave in location and not sound or in the case of the album you posted, just a compilation and not a proper album
Juan Morgan
I'd honestly say Sunn O))) Monoliths and Dimensions is more typical babbys first drone metal but yeah this one works too.
Colton Reed
Totally off the mark on Figure 8...some of his greatest, most beautiful material is here. Indie snobs just love to shit on it because it wasnt released on kill rock stars and he finally had the means to make a record with lush arrangements, grand orchestration and superior production. The songs are just as personal as his early work perhaps moreso.
Brandon King
It has nothing to do with how personal it is or the fact that it wasn't on KRS, it has everything to do with the fact that the arrangements are by and large too similar and that the songs just aren't as good. There are a few that are pretty underrated (Colorbars) but Better Be Quiet Now, Easy Way Out, Somebody That I Used To Know and especially the goddamn closer are weak.
If I just wanted to trash it because it was on a bigger label or because he used bigger arrangements I sure as shit wouldn't have put XO at the top of the list
