a tumescent 4 to a flaccid 4.5 for me, some stunning moments but the weakest album of the epic trilogy

"they're already playing new songs live"



When I saw them in Philly Gira said next time they were back the lineup would look different (this was already after having a keyboardist and no Thor). Is it still the same otherwise?

Not essential but definitely worth hearing if you dig Swans.

The Seer and To Be Kind are essentials for the entire Western fucking canon, though.

Let's not forget Children of God, White Light From the Mouth of Infinity and Soundtracks for the Blind.

@Ocean: You're not wrong. One could also throw in Filth and Cop as well. But the two I first listed are sacred above the rest, for me.
