Woah you're right, an impressive highfive that is.



Also, for me it's Glowing Man > Seer > To Be Kind

Will always love the ritualistic hammering on To Be Kind, but this is it's own special sort of cosmic

With each listen, I appreciate more how well each song is structured. There is always a sense of progression, even with how long-winded it can be

Ha never thought that would be a good descriptor for an album by Swans, but I think it fits this one. Sort of preceded by some of the shorter songs on TBK, having a real nice groove there.

I'm one of those "old Swans is better" creeps - but man, this album knows how to start a day.

(Ongoing techno binge to unfold later on in the night, for those paying attention...)

I find myself enjoying this almost more than To Be Kind, and To Be Kind is perhaps my favorite album of all time. The atmosphere on this is both intense and serene, never heard anything like it really. It's also very long and stellar all the way through, incredible!

More than TBK, I deem this record to be the definitive post rock album in all of the best ways. Like, this is more hypnotic and soul sucking than TBK and Seer.
