Awesome, thanks Lakes and Mancuso. I will get to listening. Post rock is definitely an interesting genre.

i just realized i forgot to mention the ungodly scream in Hypogirl in my review. Fuck that's one of my favorite parts of this whole thing.



my favorite line from this album is a tie between "when you're asleep you can't tell whether you're asleep" and "you drug me with kindness so i can pretend i exist"



"I have to be a like soldier and march away" and the monologue in Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey follow close behind.

I have always been a fan of listening to individual tracks as opposed to full albums. But man this may change my ways

I saw the Swans documentary and recently bought a copy of this album. Gira went all in with the lyrics here and recordings. Some raw, emotional stuff that you can rarely hear.



Also, All Lined Up hit me so hard, especially the live version on Swans Are Dead.

Well... well fuck, haha. I mean, I just don't know what to say. I'm very glad to be here with you tonight. I'll be able to talk to you about some things...That I know a great deal about.

Everyone knows that you are fucked up. And everyone knows that I am fucked up.

But, does everyone know that you, are more fucked up than me?

Well, I know that. And you know that. But our purpose is to tell everyone that

yeah falling asleep to this record is a mistake. admittedly i was usually out cold during the first few tracks but waking up during it feels like a fuckin fever dream. did it once many many years ago while i was sick as fuck and it was lowkey nightmarish lmao

Wasn't necessarily....intentional. Was listening to it while doing a crossword puzzle on my phone in bed one night. Suddenly one of those unstoppable waves of exhaustion poured over me and I just kind of closed my eyes and set my phone down and succumbed to the goddess of sleep. Feel asleep at some point in 'Helpless Child' and woke up in the middle of 'Animus'.



I was perspiring heavily but I'm not sure that had anything to do with the album.
