both are true as well

Album Rating: 5.0

Production on this and To Be Kind are unreal.

Album Rating: 5.0

Although I'd probably say TBK has slightly better production, the sounds from the drums are amazing.

agree both are amazing as well nevertheless

Album Rating: 4.0

Is TBK as atmospheric as this, or more so?

Album Rating: 5.0

this wins in terms of atmosphere, TBK in terms of songwriting

I suppose. But both have assloads of each.

Like getting barked at by a tramp

I feel like To Be Kind was the true climax of Swans' sound, and that this leaned slightly more toward accessibility. Either way, they're both fantastic.

there's no way this is more accessible than TBK lol
also what an absurd thing to measure these by

It's only slight, but that's how I feel. And I'm not measuring their quality by that statement at all.

I have this image I can't shake when I listen to this and TBK.

It goes something like this.



There's a creative music class taking place in an art studio.

Students full hearted half decent efforts of aimless splashes on canvas adorn the walls.

In a circle sit the 'musicians' who take it in turns to play their pieces.

A folky strum here, a pleasant synth there.

Then here comes 'Swans' a bedraggled, withered 72yr old sat stark naked on the floor blathering on about Christ knows what starts shouting and hitting a chair.

All the arty people applaud.

Zak always knows

He's just upset he can't pull it off without being dragged out in a white jacket.
