This is my favorite album. I'd be shocked if that opinion changes, because I can't stress enough how important To Be Kind is to me. This is the album that permanently reshaped my appreciation for music. What's funny is that prior to listening to this for the first time, I wasn't very interested in music.

On Altindiegrooves's review of Swans - Birthing
"After 40 years of being the band that it is, in what universe would Swans ever want to become that?"
On JonS17's review of Sprain - Privilege of Being
"Haha fair enough. I love disgusting music though, it makes me feel such a visceral reaction. Not to be pretentious, but art is best when it's provocative."

On 44's review of Animal Collective - Isn't It Now?
"Time Skiffs compliments this album a bit, maybe check that one out for some aesthetic context."

On Briito's review of Swans - White Light from the Mouth of Infinity
"Blind came out 4 years after this album"
On cleber's review of 明日の叙景 [Asunojokei] - アイランド [Island]
"Clearly you haven't listened to "Hello Everyone. Nice to Meet you. We are Midori""
On energydrill's review of Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
"Maybe listen to their older stuff and hear how it progresses up until this point. I recommend starting with Sung Tongs and listening to each release afterwards up until Merriweather.
But then again, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and it's perfectly okay. Don't force yourself to enjoy something you don't."
On martinaturren's review of clipping. - There Existed an Addiction to Blood
"Haha yea Piano Burning was a big let down, but the rest of the album was great. Also I'm pretty sure the instrumental on Run For Your Life was being played through like car speakers as they drove by, which is fucking sick."
