To an extent yes but this doesn't so much cross the line of when music is overly self-indulgent as leap over it and run a fucking marathon

yeah pretty much all swans stuff is super self indulgent but most of it is still pretty neat anyways

I take me hat off to you Jac dude, always.
This has the same uncompromising values as them 5s. The difference is this has no barbed delivery, no driving otherworldly intention, no ground shaking boundary expanding value.
It's just a nuisance.

[ Edit ] For me they've reached a wider audience nowadays because they extol the virtues of a true rock band which in this
day and age is more or less non-existent.
Unfortunatley anyone who rocked out prior to 2000 had it all from everywhere and Swans meant/mean nothing.
There ya go dudes.

This totally has all of those things though
Enough to run a marathon apparently, if we're going to start using convoluted metaphors

It's funny that you say that because I adore this band's control. Their songs always seem to be very well-thought out dynamically.

one of the best rock jams around tbh

Honestly very very few artists can compose a 30-minute song without exercising a complete failure at quality control
Then again I'm the guy who listened to the entirety of the 24-hour Flaming Lips song so don't mind me!
|

actually though public castration is a good idea and kind of filth are their only albums that i really still care about at all lol
|
| |
I actually really enjoyed My Father Will Guide Me but that's because there's none of Gira's sad attempts at "harsh" vocals and it isn't like fifteen hours long
|
| |
most of their stuff wouldnt work if there wasn't a shit ton of repetition and monotony
its pretty clear their intention on this and most of their other stuff ive heard is to wear you the fuck out and reduce you down to your most primal state which isn't really possible w/o like 20 minute long songs of terrifying apocalyptic sounding yelling and banging
|
| |
but gira is best when he sounds like he's dripping hot wax all over his dick
|
| |
Well this certainly wears me the fuck out I'll say they accomplished that much

Yeah tbh I've only listened to their last two albums without interruptions maybe once or twice each... they're just too long to listen to without life interfering. But they're still very consistent so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
