It was good, but I think if a different band (without the reputation of godspeed) had put it out, people wouldn't care that much about it

i find it funny that when someone reviewed the swans album they compared it to godspeed, and everyone had a go saying that it was a lazy comparison that wasn't accurate. now a godspeed album comes out and everyone is comparing it to swans. was totally justified in the seer review and is still justified now.

LAKES please stop acting like a Swans expert. I don't even listen to them and it still pisses me off. plus why are we comparing these bands again?

from the wikipedia page for soundtracks for the blind:

The album showcases various musical styles, ranging from stark, nearly gothic minimalism ("Empathy",
"All Lined Up"); to epic compositions in the vein of Glenn Branca ("Helpless Child"); musique concrète
("The Beautiful Days"); cinematic post-rock as later popularized by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
("The Sound")
