I guess I like it, but we'll need more than a sample to be able to say anything of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlybog Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 It always takes me about a year or two to 'get' the latest Swans release. With that disclaimer, I am not sure why they would pick this particular segment to get people excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Swans along with Coil are the primary bands I constantly badger myself to get into and yet never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 damn, sounds surprisingly upbeat. More than anything they've done in the previous 3 albums. Exaite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The way Swans just kept one-upping their previous albums from My Father Wasn't this going to be the last one for the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Swans' swan song innit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The way Swans just kept one-upping their previous albums from My Father < The Seer < To Be Kind makes me very curious for this one. Last time I saw them live I recall a fast track like the sample, pretty sure it was unreleased... It was insane. this (teaser) song is bring the sun/black eyed man on the live album The Gate. absolutely massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloman Tump Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've gone for the CD/ DVD combo. That teaser track does indeed sound pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scumtron Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Massive. But is it as good as the previous two albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 this is incredible. totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yep it's quite different to To Be Kind and The Seer. More introspective, takes the droning up a notch, less screaming by Gira? Need. Few more listens for it to sink in really, but there are some great tracks on here. Frankie M is stuck in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 only listened a couple times, felt like the same kind of buildup/crescendos from the last couple albums but at the same time it also felt very different. Gotta give it a proper listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlybog Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 3X baby, once in a public square in Toronto, next to advertisements for Pixar movies, while he sang about tearing the buildings down. I strongly recommend seeing them at least once - in one concert your feelings could range from boredom to elation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Had my first listen yesterday, it turned out to be exactly the album I hoped it was going to be, captured the vibe of the live gigs I've seen throughout the years perfectly (2x Swans and one time Gira solo acoustic). IMO a great album to end this formation on, wouldn't want anymore after these three monoliths but I am really curious what form they will take on next. It also made me buy a ticket for their last gig in October :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Anyone seen them live? Yeah, right after To Be Kind came out. Everyone got their money's worth. Gnarly. Two swans up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
