I don't much care for their reformation stuff, not that it isn't still great music. Except Lunacy that song fucking sucks.

1 - To Be Kind
2 - The Seer
3 - The Glowing Man
4 - Soundtracks For The Blind
5 - Swans are Dead

Haven't gotten into their early stuff yet (pre-Children of God) but I love pretty much everything I've heard from them after that.

Listened to most of their new albums and their early period. Currently working myself through their 90's output.
In no particular order:
To Be Kind
Swans are Dead
Cop
Holy Money/Greed
Glowing Man

1. To Be Kind
3. Soundtracks For The Blind
3. White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity
4. Filth
5. Young God

Why are so many of you rank TBK so high? What do you see in it?

The production quality.

This.
For me, the production is one of the most important things in music, since you have to listen to it after all.

I refuse to believe anyone actually enjoys SFTB. It is totally unlistenable in one sitting.

1. SFTB
2. Kill The Child
3. Swans are dead
4. Filth
5. Children of God

1. filth
2. the shit ones

1. SFTB
2. White Light
3. The Seer
4. The Great Annhilator
5. Love Of Life

Yea and it works so well in To Be Kind. When the music is at its most intense in To Be Kind it sounds chaotic and wild but listen closely and you can discern every single instrument and what it adds to the creation of this single intense sound. That's also what I enjoyed about their live shows the most.

1/ Cop
2/ Filth
3/ The Seer
4/ SFTB
5/ Young God EP

not the kind of album just to pop on every night, i probably listen to it once a week, just sitting in a nice dark room though, very nice experience to be honest

1. Soundtracks for the Blind
2. The Great Annihilator
3. Children of God
4. Love of Life
5. Holy Money

Also, The Burning World is definitely worth a shoutout. It's probably my 6th/7th favorite, and yet even Gira shits on it. So fucking underrated.
