Finally listened to this. The Sound and Helpless Child go hard asf, but some of the ambient shit drags ngl. Cool vibe overall though.
Opinion?

boring, it goes for far too long
the vibes would be good if it wasn't so long and it didn't have so much filler
the longer songs are very powerful and emotional tho

Nothing worth listening to. A boring person makes nothing but boring music, and that's Swans in a nutshell.

which are the filler tracks? to avoid them in the second listen

Why doesn’t this board like Swans anymore? Now all everyone ever talks about here is shitty pop music. Did the poptimists win?

the sound and the final sacrifice suck dick, helpless child is ok, animus is the only good 10 minute + song. the rest ranges from throwaway bullshit like fan's lament to a lot of more experimental stuff that's actually pretty cool, overall a good album

trust

If you're not into dark ambient and experimental stuff then this album is definitely not for you. The post rock tracks are really good but I don't find them to be the best material from it.

The Sound is a top 5 Swans song
