A simply adequate alt-rock album. Not very consistent, but the lows are never drastically low, nor are the highs all that high. Except for the last three tracks. Wow, those are REALLY good, no strings attached.

Funny, intense, clever, vulgar. It's all you could ever ask for.

Unsurprisingly, being a bit over a decade apart from Paul Steel's latest project, this sounds a lot different. But it's still pretty damn solid.

I mean, as always, the production is great. But what really surprised me was the drumming on this album. It's like, really, really good. Each strike of the drum gives you this auditory "OOMPH" that's as satisfying as crunching leaves.

There is a very obvious Beatles inspiration here. But, who isn't inspired by the Beatles, seriously? Other ... read more

This is indeed a Beatles album.

Not as good as I remember but old bike is nice.

The best moments are monstrously high, but too uncommon in between all the drone.

Pleasant, but leaves much to be desired. First track goes hella hard though.

So my first Swans experience went about how I expected.

Trashy, noisy, repetitive, cacophonous. It's perfect for the terrifying, diseased world this album paints you.

I wonder if Kid A drew from this album at all. They're both very ambient albums, but on second thought, Kid A is more electronic and abrasive than this piece.

Anyway, it's alright. I'm unfortunately not a fan of the excessively calm nature of all these songs, it's just too boring for me. I'm sure if I put this record on while trying to sleep I'd be jizzing in my dreams but, that won't excuse this album from being boring in any other situation. Ascension day was pretty good though.

This isn't music... in the typical sense, at least. It is by all means an auditory movie. It does its job well, but I wouldn't for the life of me listen to a single track from this.

I don't like Death Grips. Trust me, I've tried to like them. I just don't. I only listened to this because my friend said he'll give me 5 dollars if I do. And, for what it's worth, I found at least 2 songs here to be good. (Those being I've Seen Footage and Hacker).

A very disjointed project that would've benefited from cutting out most of the songs. All "long" songs ranged from solid to really good but everything in between brought the album down.

Favorite: South Side of the Sky.

Really pushing it with that 21-minute song there, Yes.
Oh wait, I actually like it. Huh, didn't expect that.
Not as good as Close to the Edge, which is definitely a burn since this is very similar to that album. Regardless, this shit rocks.

Indiscipline is one of King Crimson's best songs. Hell, this is one of King Crimson's best albums. I must stress that I dislike New Wave music, but this prog spin on it somehow blends into something beautiful.

Long live King Crimson.

It has Blocks.

A short but sweet LP, offering some great country music when we honestly really need it. Ballad of a law-abiding sophisticate is honestly beautiful.

Good ol' King Crimson making me feel jittery and jumpy.

As any good prog song should, this entire album gets better as you listen through it. The first song was solid, 2nd and 3rd were kinda lame, but easy money, talking drum, and larks part 2 were fucking fantastic.

I hate the texture of that glove.

Anyway, I don't think this album is anything special. Some songs are alright, some are boring, some are just... bad. It's overall alright.

It was painfully tedious for the first 4 songs but became pleasant afterward. For some reason, the band turned into The Strokes for the last 2 songs.

Better than Kid A, but overall I didn't like it all that much. Overrated for sure.

THIS WEED WAS SMOKED BY REAL GHETTO SMOSH ENTHUSIASTS.
