The Seer is really tight, I agree with Michael Gira when he said this is the definitive musical statement oh the Swans, Soundtracks for the Blind is brilliant in some parts but much more messy, without a point to make, it finally goes nowhere, To be kind is not as consistent. The Seer is a nearly perfect crafted album with a huge emotional impact, the sound landscapes are breathtaking...



Last three tracks are magic, Avatar, a Piece of sky and the Apostate.



Truly one of the greatest albums of the new century, probably in the top 3.

Yeah I agree that this is far more coherent than Soundtracks. I feel that's a little overrated to be honest

This and White light are better than Soundtracks imo but it's close.

Yeah I also agree White Light is better than Soundtracks. That album is so incredibly consistent

White Light is my favorite Swans, incredible proto-post rock record.

Not sure if it's a good comparison but it reminds me of OK Computer

Soundtracks and Cop tbh



Children has never appealed to me that much and is a bit boring

thread reminded me I always forget that White Light From the Mouth of Infinity has some amazing gems on it and I need to spend some more time with that album



I've spent a lot of time with Children of God though, shame you feel that way

I'm just not a huge fan of Jarboe and I think that's what knocks CoG down for me a bit

I should reiterate: it's not a bad album, but drags a bit too much. As a 45 minute record like the prior ones, it would've been their best yet. Although, it tries to put too much content into a record with very little to work with. A very nice transitional record, if anything.
