Criminal Minded posted:Yeah, they've gone from "Who?" to probably my favorite band over the past year and a half, ever since I got The Seer and started tracking back through their work - which, of course, only makes me appreciate The Seer even more. Ditto to The Great Annihilator, which is in my top handful of Swans albums along with The Seer, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity, and Soundtracks from the Blind, but it's all great. I haven't heard everything yet, but I'm pretty close - all I'm missing are a live album or two, The Burning World, and outtakes/b-sides. I can't help but wonder where they'll go on this next album, since The Seer is such a career-defining masterpiece. It's like, what's even left to do? The Burning World is really good too, don't let anyone (even Gira) tell you otherwise.

Beyond sane knolls posted:Listening to Swans' discography in reverse sounds like the ultimate recipe for a several-week long depression to me. Like a recommendation I'd make as a sick joke on someone. Listening in reverse would ease one into the brutal early stuff, gently caress that, if this is your first intro to the band, jump right into Cop/Greed/Holy Money or the Young God EP and tell us what you think.

There are some good songs on The Burning World. The first song is pretty good, and Jane Mary Cry One Tear I always liked. Also, there's a Steve Winwood cover.
