i'm jamming this in the dark after a tiring day, adds to it

Album Rating: 4.5

because you're a dork sandwich man

the drums on this are fucking brutal

i am a dork yes

god everything on this is fucking brutal. this has a better feel to it than any production job on any studio swans

this is like the perfect culmination of everything they did

would be a good record to get people into the band

idk about that, but it seems to do basically everything they did up to this point all at once

listening to this while reading about ed gein is a good idea

Album Rating: 4.5

fun fact "young god" is about ed gein

exactly

oh shit now i'm on blood promise, if this is better than the opener

Album Rating: 4.5

i should read up about peter kurten with whitehouse blaring in the background, that aught to be fun

so apparently that pic of michael gira naked in front of the crowd was taken right after blood promise ended

Album Rating: 4.0

this version of blood promise is the best thing swans will ever do

drum sound on not alone is so perfect

Still need to check this

crowd sounds really add to it

Really? Cuz that's what normally keeps me from checking live albums for so long.

this is such an intimate live album, i underestimated it hard at first but holy fuck. plus the unreleased tracks and alternate versions are better than a good deal of their studio shit

Album Rating: 4.5

My favorite live album ever
