I'm saying you really didn't need to explain your position.

It’s also worth noting that several inflammatory posts seem to have been removed. Which might explain some of the gaps.

Ah right, makes sense now.

Well it doesn't, but I'm assuming it would do if I'd seen them!

Any chance someone might like The Seer / To Be Kind if they do not love any of the earlier releases? I mean there's always a chance I guess, but are they very different?



Heard Filth, Soundtracks, White Light, TGA and this. All 2.5-3, nothing terrible I just struggle to stay engaged for an album's worth of material. Filth is the easiest due to brevity, but still not quite my vibe, it has a cool sound but found it somewhat repetitive.

Based on your comments - struggle to stay engaged, repetitive, etc. - I would assume that you'd hate THE SEER and beyond. Always worth a shot, I suppose, because those albums are so drastically different from everything else they've done. But it does not bode well given your existing disposition of what you've heard thus far.

Anthracks got trolled and took it seriously, which is goofy. But then Anthracks said this is what women go through when they’re victim blamed for assault because somebody more or less said “did you expect serious discourse on Sput” which is the most vile self equivalency I’ve heard in a long long long time and so it turned from Anthracks bein a silly Billy to a proper PoS

There you have it, the definitive account. I’m so glad you were here to observe, have your comments deleted, and then explain the situation to everyone as an unbiased third party.



Yes, me and tec did have something resembling meaningful discourse here, which goes to show you can in fact communicate and disagree with another Sputnik user without hurling vitriol and predictable memelord humor at each other.



You can’t play the troll card forever. At a certain point you have to look at yourself and evaluate your character.

I don’t have any interest in communicating with anyone who so clearly doesn’t get that words’ meanings only exist insofar as the real world application they represent. Same reason I don’t play a pick-up basketball game with someone who insists on wearing knuckle dusters and throwing a football through the hoop.



Does that track, or is it a stupid fucking analogy? Figure I ought to defer to the expert

I’m sure you realize the irony of saying you have no desire to communicate with me, but following me around and reading my posts (like referencing the fact that I’m reading Kant within ten minutes of me posting about it in another thread) and lists (referring to a Murakami list that I made years ago three times). And also immediately proceeding to communicate with me. If I can’t take your words at face value, how should I take them? I usually ignore all your troll posts that you make in response to me, so I will go back to doing that. Fortunately for you, this website has a very high tolerance for harassment.



Anyway. This is the kind of off-topic that’s truly toxic to a thread, so I’m outy.

the community forums exist, btw. you can start a thread about pretty much anything and moderation tends to be a bit more lenient since it isn't front and centre on the main page.

i think it says a lot about your character that you get personally insulted when someone doesn't like a band you like. it also says a lot about your character that you are willing to insult someone that you know literally nothing about. i've been on the internet a while. i guess i expect more out of someone who has posted 38,587 times on one website alone and has managed to never be banned despite being full of hatred. but you gotta get your kicks somewhere, right? i made the wrong choice by even acknowledging you this time. i won't continue to do so.

Gave this a listen for the first time today. I have to be in the right mood to be challenged by a Swans record and I guess today was a good day. I really enjoyed this, but its flawed in the same way I find their early works to be too raw in places.
