Mmmmmmmmmmm... I thought that one was my third favorite but thinking more about it I think I like Children of God more.
I like How I Loved You more than any Swans though.

CoG is also great. Pretty much interchangeable with White Light for me. Angels of Light have pretty solid discogs too.

The right answer is CoG = Soundtracks = This. All ridiculously powerful in different ways

I'm still trying to process the fact that some people don't think this is a masterpiece

Yeah crazy right. It can be testing at times, which is part of the charm, but also why people would disengage with it.

I love THE SEER, too, and I feel like a lot of people consider this a spiritual successor/revamp since it follows a similar structure and was essentially born from some of the ashes of THE SEER, but I still think this improves on it in almost every way.

Take each album's half-hour-long track for example. "The Seer" is an awesome song but "Bring the Sun / Toussaint L'Ouverture" is one of the best things they've written. It's cyclic enough to have that droning undercurrent, but it's constantly building toward something, and the split between the two halves is perfect imo. "The Seer," on the other hand, while still great, is far more of an endurance test and slips into a loop of tedium a little over halfway in.

Yes yes. Has a powerful hypnotic effect, which balances out with Michael’s ahh mouth sounds

I'd say that The Seer has more memorable quiet or melodic parts (Lunacy, Song for the Warrior, A Piece of the Sky), but this one totally owns in noisy and lunetic stuff, Bring the Sun is absolutely crushing, the end of Oxygen is a definition of madness.
