What the fuuuuuuck

Every song on here makes me feel like I'm being curb stomped over and and over and over

As if the first two albums of the trilogy weren’t amazing enough, the finale of the trilogy, The Glowing Man, continues the super long and glorious instrumentals and unsettling vocals. I find this to be the most epic of the three albums, as it feels more like the soundtrack (SFTB reference?) to the best movie you’ve ever seen. Moments of it feel like battles, trials, and struggles, all to lead up to the grand climax of the film, which in this case would be the title track. After the ... read more

The second album of the trilogy is just as mind-blowing as the first, with some of their freshest instrumentals and most absurd vocals

I hear this and I’m like, “Yeah, this is what birth and death sound like at the same time.”

Even though they didn't release an album for 14 years, Swans still managed to put together a really well made album that sets the tone for the projects they ended up releasing afterwards

Soundtracks for the Blind is the first Swans album I can deem truly perfect. Despite every track being a wild twist and turn from the last, it still manages to work as one coherent album

The Great Annihilator is everything that made White Light From The Mouth of Infinity and Love of Life so special, just cranked up to a whole new level of greatness

While not as spectacular as it's predecessor, this is still an impressive album that continues to show Swans grow more as a band

After the mild dissapointment of The Burning World, Swans bounces back and makes an absolutely phenomenal record that blows me away lyrically and sonically

It's definitely a dip in quality from Children of God, but still an overhated record. While it has some uninteresting songs, it also has some really well written and memorable songs in the mix

This is the first taste of true greatness from Swans. It's a massive improvement on everything they had been doing for the last few years and completely stood the test of time as well.

Swans shows huge signs of improvement over their last 2 records with Holy Money. While it's not a masterpiece, almost every moment is at least enjoyable.

While it's not as interesting as something like Filth, it still has some really cool moments, if not very repetitive. Though, some moments drag on for what feels like an eternity

A disturbing look into the mind of the legendary Michael Gira

While definitely not awful, it has some wildly dull moments, though also has some very high points like Half Life, Cop, and Job

Utilizing mostly really soft vocals with really simple instrumentals, this album manages to be very cute and very eerie at the same time

Phenomenal writing and vocal performances paired with stellar instrumentals make this an absolute must listen

Some of the best singing I've heard in a while over wonderfully simplistic instrumentals

Genuinely one of the most frustrating albums I've ever had to sit through. The vocals are absolutely grating and the instrumentals just sound like a clusterfuck of copyright -free sound effects you'd hear in a 2013 COD kill compilation

Around the Fur perfectly encompasses everything I enjoy about nu-metal, and even metal as a whole. It's raw, aggressive, and has this harsh sense of urgency that does anything but push you away
