04.03.14 | Yeah well unlike The Seer i like every track on here and no track would be under 3.5. All in all i must admit i already like this more than The Seer and it kicked way earlier. Name me your ranking and what you think about this album. |
adr
04.03.14 | gonna wait for better rip. The Seer is like a 3.5 for me overall. |
ti0n
04.03.14 | yeah well this will end up 4.5 for me. The rip is pretty good actually. But yeah it can only get better. |
emester
04.03.14 | this clicked way earlier than the seer. hell, the seer hasn't even clicked with me yet :/ |
ti0n
04.03.14 | the problem with the seer is that the 2nd cd is just amazingly good where the first is pretty messy. without the 2nd cd the seer wouldnt have got so much attention in 2012 imo. |
emester
04.03.14 | to be fair I never made it past the first CD so im probably missing out |
ti0n
04.03.14 | What i like so much about this album is it's dark atmosphere on some tracks(bring the sun) it's like you can smell the place |
ti0n
04.03.14 | then go with the 2nd dood its really awesome you won't regret it. it's much more post-rock and untypically happy for swans standards. |
ti0n
04.03.14 | what is your fav track on this emester? |
emester
04.03.14 | probably oxygen. Its just pure fucking chaos |
ti0n
04.03.14 | oh yeah that song lets my blood pumping like crazy. its like listening to a fucking converge song =) |
emester
04.03.14 | To me its like free jazz on meth |
ti0n
04.03.14 | not musically compared to converge but it have a similar effect on me. |
ti0n
04.03.14 | for free jazz its too structured imo. well its basically the same riff all the time but just going more chaotic later by adding more riffs |
emester
04.03.14 | yeah bad example my bad XD. I definitly hear a bit of converge in it tho |
ti0n
04.03.14 | the live version with gira completely freaking out is so gold |
Hovse
04.03.14 | I still need to check this,is it better than The Seer? |
ti0n
04.03.14 | yes it is |
TheBarber
04.03.14 | Just preordered the double cd + live cd edition, gonna wait for it but I'm stoked to love this |
ti0n
04.03.14 | You will! "Natalie Neal" could be pretty much off "Soundtracks for the Blind". Dat song is killer |
Tremz
04.03.14 | based on an 96kps rip lol, gotta luv sput. |

04.03.14 | based on an 96kps rip lol, gotta luv sput. [2] |
ti0n
04.03.14 | you dont need anything more for swans. i mean come on srsly do you even listen to the rather bad quality of "Soundtracks for the blind" ? |
ILiveInNetherlands
04.03.14 | fuck by the time i get to this album my rating won't do shit to average one |
ti0n
04.03.14 | i think this wont get widely acceptance like "the seer" did but its nevertheless better and fans wont be disappointed. and by fans i mean people who listened more than "the seer". |
Emyay
04.03.14 | the seer caused all kinds of fuckin fuss on the interwebs and sputnik. still haven't heard any swans though. might check this though so i can at least be part of the conversation this time around |
emester
04.03.14 | so I checked the 2nd half of the Seer. Blows away the first half imo.
To Be Kind, however, still holds as my favorite Swans album i've heard so far |
icatchthirtythree
04.03.14 | Hard to tell if it's as good as The Seer or Soundtracks but it's definitely quality Swans. Very atmospheric overall and lots of droning grooves. |
Tyrael
04.03.14 | How fucking terrible is that artwork jesus christ what were they thinking |
Emyay
04.03.14 | laziest thing i've ever seen |
icatchthirtythree
04.03.14 | I don't mind it, just kind of weird. |
Jruined
04.03.14 | Is this anything like Children of God? Ive been binging on that the last couple days. |
adace1
04.03.14 | waiting impatiently for the high quality leak |
