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 |

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 |

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.

09.08.15 | I would say The Great Annihilator but seeing as you already dig New Mind, Children of God is also an option. |

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. |

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. |
