Edgy opinions are cool and all AngelofDeath, but if Michael Gira says this is by far their greatest album then that's how it is, the man knows his shit much better than you kid. [2]

No, that wouldn't be like you at all



I like the lyrics better on Soundtracks and Great Annihilator

Well duh, obviously you and AngelofDeath are more right than the creator of Swans, he doesn't know his own music as you guys do :P

Still a matter of personal opinion bro.

And soon the sun begins to sink,

Behind a wall of dirty air.

I see their bones there in the pile,

And taste the smell of burning hair.

And all the children howl for mile.

The rain spits down a million knives.

I see you running through the field.

I see you running for your useless life.

I feel you choking on your tongue,

I feel the breath attack your chest.

The dogs are ripping at your feet.

I see you bleeding out your happiness.



Cooler than "your light pours into my mouth... is in my eye" etc.

And of course Gira would say this is their best album ever, he's spent his whole life working towards it yada yada



If that's your evidence for this being their best album then holy hell

There is absolutely NO way that this is better than soundtracks for the blind. Still fucking awesome tho.

probs not as good as children of god. Liked it more than Cop, Greed & Holy Money.

Cop is sooo hard to listen through.

Lunacy is quite easily my least favourite track, but yeah this is a 4.5 and Soundtracks/Annihilator are 5s



Need to listen to Children of God again soon, thanks for reminding me pal

Funny all these people that jumped on the hypewagon, declared this their best album and dismissed basically everything they made prior (without even listening to it)

haha yeh the hypewagon definitely rolled into town with the release of the seer. Still, it's fuckin awesome to see such a great band finally get some universal acclaim.

Never listened to Annihilator, Might have to give that one a try.

if youre listening to this album and havent listened to the entire swans discog then you have no idea how good this is or the significance of the sounds you are hearing



your philistine ears are doing this a disservice. i cant believe people are saying 'ive never listened to annihiliator'

i would listen to all their other stuff but i have a massive backlog of stuff to listen to and that's only the music i need to hear before i put out my 2012 list... i can't afford to add like eight 120-minute albums to the list
