I like Swans, but if that's a slam at John Lennon you're off your rocker (pun intended). Listen to Plastic Ono band, one of the most harrowing & emotionally charged albums ever recorded.
I really want to like this as all the reviews have been very positive but i am struggling with it at the moment. Its not exactly an album that you would put on to cheer yourself up is it? If you were thinking of suicide and you put this on it would probably gaurantee your demise, give me John Lennon anyday.
@jackanddarla swans don't make albums to cheer you up. swans make albums to make you travel to the dark abyss of the soul, circle around it several times, fight a complex battle with its contents and emerge transformed as something fantastical. have fun with john lennon.
Hmm...I really don't know what to think thus far. Doesn't sound much like Swans at all, but they're a band that's always been open to change. Guess it will have to grow on me.
I can't wait to see Swans in London next month. I love all of their music, although "Filth" has to be my favorite album. As I'm only 24 I wish I could've experienced the rawness of this band in the early days. Not so I can say "yyeaaahh man it was SO LOUD" but so I could see something being expressed in such a way and which doesn't get lost in the "let-me-hear-you-say-yeah"-s and requests from frontmen to see circle pits.
P.S. If anyone's wondering, the video is from "Liquid Sky".
Reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd.
I love it. Definitely the best track off the new album.

@tatonnement "....Swans doesn't make music..." Swans is plural, but it's a title. I know it's confusing, but you'll get it.
