GreyShadow: Swans...where to start?

GreyShadow 09.08.15	Band is definitely something else
TheCrocodile 09.08.15	Start with Children of God or My Father...

EverythingEvil2113 09.08.15	I was introduced through The Great Annihilator and it did the trick. It's a bit more on their accessible side, but still definitely Swans.
GreyShadow 09.08.15	Based on the chart, Children of God or The Great Annihilator seem like the right choices
Supercoolguy64 09.08.15	yeah, they're pretty good to start with. It kinda depends on your tastes tho like, if you're into fucked up noisy shit for example, then i would suggest listening to their early material first, then working your way through their discog
GreyShadow 09.08.15	I actually tried a bit of Filth and it was cool but it isn't necessarily my thing so I'll hold off on the super fucked up noisy shit for now lol
ComeToDaddy 09.08.15	Children of God for sure, that and White Light were the first Swans albums I really enjoyed
Judio! 09.08.15	"To Be Kind, The Seer, My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky are my personal favs" lol way to pick the three n00b albums you n00b
Rowan5215 09.08.15	avoid em
Artuma 09.08.15	avoid caring about rowan's opinions
Rowan5215 09.08.15	avoid increasingly bitter and pigheaded users who were formerly chill
Artuma 09.08.15	"avoid increasingly bitter and pigheaded users who were formerly chill" still luv u rowbro
Jasdevi087 09.08.15	Children of God probably gives you the broadest stab at their sound.
Ricochet 09.08.15	Soundtracks to Children to Great Annhilator imo imo imo imo
BandNewbac 09.08.15	i think its his opinion
Ricochet 09.08.15	"its my onion"
zakalwe 09.08.15	Ahh where to start, I warn you it'll cost a few quid but purchase their entire discography if you can then: Pile them all up and purchase a few litres of decent accelerant, petrol is always a winner. Douse 'em through then take off your clothing, it'll probably be wanky hipster clobber and add it to the pile then douse further. Set light to the lot while blasting sabbath.
SAPoodle 09.08.15	I would say The Great Annihilator but seeing as you already dig New Mind, Children of God is also an option.
tommygun 09.08.15	zak knows
zakalwe 09.08.15	TG!!!!!! Cheers SasH
Sinternet 09.08.15	Children of God is defo the best start
Veldin 09.08.15	I heard The Seer first, but starting with Filth and going thru the discog is what I did next and it was so much fun.
BelieveInDog 09.08.15	Soundtracks for the Blind is a must listen and a good place to start
Shoteru 09.09.15	I started with soundtracks, it's an incredible record regardless of your experience with the band. Their discography is so diverse that you can pretty much start with any of them.
treeqt. 09.09.15	I think I like this band. I haven't gotten through a full album front to back yetI think I like this band.

BelieveInDog 09.09.15	Dick^
Gameofmetal 09.09.15	I think I listened to a little bit of To Be Kind first but then I just listened to Filth, Cop, and then Children of God fully. That's as far as Ive gotten tho
Sevengill 09.09.15	Don't waste your time.
jtswope 09.09.15	Start with The Great Annihilator - really accessible as far as Swans go and also really fantastic.
furyroad97 02.29.16	I'd start with Children of God, then work your way through The Great Annihilator, To Be Kind, The Seer & Soundtracks For The Blind in that order. You can probably check out The Burning World if you want, but that's probably their weakest one to me.
