Holy Money? More like Holy Shit, this is amazing
>swans thread>no replies
>>47737245greed/holy money are better than filth and cop, never understood why everyone ignores them
>>47737473i think coward is GOAT
>>47737495Coward is better on Public Castration tho
Their self titled EP and their neofolk stuff is the best.
>>47737473cop is still da best but yeah greed and holy money are fucking great
>>47737245Did you download this album anon? If so.....where? I can't find any of swans early stuff
>>47739208don't do it gira will find you
>>47737473I could never really get into those, but I'll try them again. I just felt like they weren't as exciting or unique as filth and cop.
>>47739242thats bullshit dude i got their entire discography from rutracker and gira never fou
>>47739242My main concern >>47739298Ok I'll check it fulla
>>47739298>>47739242>>47739208>pirated Filth 3 months ago to get into Swans>dream that night of Gira>he's standing over me on my bed>staring intensely but not moving>his lips are moving slowly>im frozen solid>slowly gets more audible>"I see it all I see it all I see it all">continues for twenty minutes>i get a raging hard on but I can't move>ten minutes pass with him still chanting>i pass out>woken up by naked Gira just with his hat now>i'm frozen again>he's sweaty>he's singing money is flesh>entire band is there now>slow public castration plays for 4 hours straight>every time I start to pass out he sings louder>almost morning, they finish off with Freak>"I'M NOT SCARED I'LL TAKE WHAT I WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING I WANT WHAT YOU GOT">he cuts the skin off my elbow>wake up>not a dream>window smashed, they drank all my beer>i'm soaked in mine and Gira's sweat because they turned off my A.C>have to go to the hospitalanyone else have this type of experience?
>>47739403That happens every night to me. 10/10, Best New Bedroom Invasion.
So the only swans album I like so far is Filth. I've listened to SFTB and The Seer and I liked The Seer better thatn SFTB but didnt so much enjoy either of them all that much. Whats my next move?
>>47739403Almost exactly how you described it
>>47739438Cop, Holy Money, Greed, Public Castration Is A Good IdeaIn that order
>>47737505all the songs off that live album are easily better than the studio versions
any greed fans on /mu/? that's gotta be my favorite swans album next to soundtracks.
>>47739468I personally like Filth, Cop a lot better. But Greed is amazing. I'd call myself a fan, i just like their other stuff better.
>>47737245edgy band
>>47739501filth is cool but i don't like it nearly as much as a lot of people here do. cop used to be my favorite, great album.
Holy Money is my favorite
>>4773940310/10And yeah. The drums at the start of a screw go on for like an hour when they did it to me, but jokes on them, itsbone of my favourite parts of the album
>>47739537i don't like the instrumentation on holy money tbh
>>47739533What don't you like about it? Musically its catchier and funner. If i want something darker i will listen to cop. Lyrically though Greed and Holy Money is way father ahead.
>>47739564what
>>47739559Did the "HOOOOOOLY HOOOOOOOLY" part take two hours for you?
>>47737245Amazing, but not as good as Greed. Oh Greed, what a good fucking album that is
>>47739639hey i love greed too>>47739610meow

Greed and Holy Money is pointless. They perfected that "goth/still depressiveness" style on Children of God.Greed is the better of the two though, and the lesser of two evils. Otherwise skip those. Instead go straight to Public Castration. It's everything that they were trying to "go for" in G/HM done right.
>>47739664woof
>>47739746gulp
>>47739723>skip thoselol pls Greed is completely different than Children of God. But plebs gonna pleb I guess
>>47739754burp
boards of canada? more like bored of this boring ass music.
>>47739723hahhahahahaahawhat???
>>47739723Also, about this: >>47739586I agree. Filth is fun, punk as fuck and the most lively of early releases.Filth makes me wanna fight someone drunk.Cop/Young God makes me wanna slice my stomach.Greed/Holy Money makes me wanna brood.HOWEVER...BTBJTJ is the GOAT early Swans release and combines the best aspects of all of these. It's disappointing no one on /mu/ seems to be aware of this release.
>>47739799I can't find it anywhere... Care to upload it? Same with Time is Money. pls
>>47739821see>>47739692
>>47739821Archive. Also, don't steal it. You'll end up like >>47739403
>>47739723
>>47739799I don't think it has enough Filth stuff. Still, very solid release.
>>47739837oh sweeet
>>47739611Yeah dude 2, 2 ½ hours or so. Fuck it was intense. He kept morphing from modern day hat gira to 80s long hair gira. Like changing between each HOOOOOLLLYYYY. this was actually pretty novel
>>47739837>>47739846Oh shit it doesn't have Time is Money
>>47739899i have a crazy conspiracy idea. Is it that everyone on /mu/ who bought the albums dislike Swans because they didn't have the experience? Is this why we have such a polarizing affect?
>>47739403Lol@when >Scott Spillane walks in with only socks and a dunce hat on, and a pixie in his beard and said: >oh fuck wrong dreamThen he shits himself and leaves
Holy Money? More like Holy Shit, this sucks.
>>47739468I recently re-listened to Greed and honestly found it pretty dull. Filth is in my top 3 and Cop/Holy Money are okay, but Greed just passes by me without making much of an impression.
>show Swans to friend I've known for 19 years in hopes she'd go with me to see them play a free show>"Omg why do you listen to this?">"This is scary turn it off">"Why am I friends with you this is so weird"tfw
>>47739982Fuck. What was supposed to be a bad experience actually enthralled us and made us enjoy their music more. The swans buyers must just have normal dreams....Dude you are a fucking smart. You deserve something
>>47740027>rec my friend swanshe didn't make it past Mother Of The World.
>>47740027Dw I hate my plebs* as well*friends
>>47740000-Listen to it louder-Listen to the lyrics-Understand the double meaning of BDSM and corporate capitalism>Listen to the awesome industrial sounds>Feel Gira grinding down on you like a sweatshop manager throughout the whole thing>Feel the energetic release when the best Swans song "Money is Flesh" comes on to end off the album
>>47740044Why can't WE all just be friends? Well make a town where it is compulsory to have a decent taste in music
>>47740044b-but that's a top 3 Swans song
>>47740000Your climate must be too warm but nice quads anyway
Early Swans is cold winter night core
>>47740069>Well make a town where it is compulsory to have a decent taste in musicWow that's pretentious
>>47740127srsly
>>47740069>Why can't WE all just be friends?cause i'm 100% sure i'm more then 1000km away from you in the best case scenario.>Well make a town where it is compulsory to have a decent taste in musicWhoa bud.
>>47740139I am aware of this. But wouldn't it be pleasant?Fuck this is how the Nazis startedBackpedal backpedal backpedal
>>47740104Maybe actually. First time I ever listened to Swans was Filth in the summer. Might be all about that first impression. I'm really more of a Children of God/Great Annihilator guy if I'm to be honest.
>>47740161K this was just supposed to be friendly but k Where are you from dude?
>>47740196Canada. Fairly rural part of it. Close to nothing really.
>>47740157completely srs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jOEYDu4AbUAnyone ever watch this all the way through?
>>47740225Cool. I'm from a fairly rural part of Australia.It is 5/6 hours from both of the closest cities
>>47737245suck my vinyl>I'm so cool aren't I
>>47740288Hey, i'm exactly 5 hours away from the nearest city. Let's be friends. Also sorry about most of your countries music sucking ass.
>>47740297neatwere'd you get that?
>>47740283Yeah just did
>>47740541whoa. that hour went by fast didn't it ;^)
>>47740366I got them over discogs, surprisingly I got Filth and Holy Money for only $43 each
>>47740574I need to get those man. Damn. Thats like nothing
>>47740558lol mean earlier todau
>>47740335Absolute faggot ok we can be friends. We have good music manis
>>47737245Holy Shit? More like Shit. Because it is shit.
is Lust for Life worth checking out? Ive never listened to it before.
Greed and Holy Money might be my favorite early Swans actually.
>>47740127Filth and Cop are underground gym reeking of male sweat and hot concrete core.
>>47737245awesome album, definitely my favourite no wave swans
>>47739821i found it on rutracker
