This is the best swans album

Ok?

no

>steps in your way

not even their best 80s album pleb

What if Michael Gira was a little boy?

it's almost like everyone here doesn't actually worship gira

>a few good songs plus shitty "goth" bullshit
>best swans album
pleb

yeah, maybe when you've known about swans for longer than a week you can post at me again

i will post at u whenever i damn well please

I've listened to all of their albums but ok bud

what the f*ck the art cover means anyways?

Plane-Dog-Hand

It's the glowing man, dip

but I'm the glowing man you dingus

*blocks your path*
*puts knife in you*

These two are on par with SFTB
>babby's first swans albums
>the best

by far best early Swans, not as good as SFTB or TBK tho

A man running from overhead.

correct. their most droney release is inherently their best release

reminder not to trust anyone that claims To Be Kind is one of their best albums

Public Castration version of Coward is better
A Hanging has been playing on loop in my head for the last couple of days, but it's annoying that the drums at the end aren't in tempo. That version of A Screw is fucking great though
Gira explained in an interview that all the glyphs are cobbled together from various words for fire, glow, light, man, etc in different languages (there's more on the physical release)
Best bass and percussion (although the drums are sloppy sometimes)

>itz popular so itz bad!!1!!!

I love the out of tempo drums at the end desu. something feels so weirdly intense about how messy and chaotic they make everything feel

it's popular because it's unambitious and accessible. 75% of the material is good, but despite that it's the weakest post-reconstitution album (including "my father...")

>unambitious
honestly how so?
>accessible
doesn't make it bad

>thinks that sftb is the best swans record
>says that people who prefer filth and children of god are babies
negro what

but that's love of life he's signing

Re-uses nearly the same formula five times--in Screenshot, A Little God In My Hands, Bring The Sun, Oxygen, and Nathalie Neal. Obviously Nathalie Neal and Bring The Sun employ that formula in fairly unique ways, but they dedicate so much album time which could have been allocated in a more interesting manner to the dull songs
