it’s incomprehensible to me that Blind was cut from the original release, and stuck on that “various failures” release. that song is brilliant

Ugh, I really dislike the remaster of this. Need to find the non-remastered version

They added Blind, both the Jarboe songs are "alternate versions" I think where the vocals are a slightly different track, louder and brought further up in the mix, whereas the guitar is sent back. "Why Are We Alive" has an added section at the end, but the jarboe singing at the 1:00 seems like it is sent even further back in the mix. I also could swear they cut some mandolin somewhere, but looking through it now I can't hear it missing anywhere.



It's mostly the 2 jarboe songs that sound weird though

maybe "really dislike" is too strong. I was just used to the other version for so long that it's a little offputting.

This is the best Swans and would be 10/10 if Blind were in the track list.

Cut Failure and When She Breathes and it's probably a 5, yeah

Could also do without Song for the Sun. It's a fine song and nice and everything, but doesn't really add much to the album IMO

I love Song for the Sun. Middle run of songs on here is amazing, tho Failure could've just been an instrumental, I'm not as crazy about the singing or lyrics on that one.

Will We Survive and Love Will Save You are my favs so I have mixed feelings about the middle stretch.

Basically Song for Dead Time-thru When She Breathes are all amazing songs imo, even Failure, I just think it'd be nice if an instrumental version existed too. Better Than You and Power and Sacrifice are probably my least favs.

An album by the previously colossal disappointment that is Swans: not interested.



Then one cursory glance in the direction of the review, mentions Souls at Zero AND Spiderland.



Oh... maybe I need to hear this one.

Filth, Children of God, Soundtracks...



Really didn’t get on with any of them, hoping to ignite something inside me one day but at the minute this band just confuses/bores me senseless.
