Have any of you ever made it through this album?I made it through 2 minutes and I wanted to die.
Of course we have, don't be a pleb
I love how nu Swans fans go on and on about how "intense" The Seer and To Be Kind is, but they can't even make it through 5 minutes of this.
>>52888147I'm a Sufjan stevens fan. To be kind was fine, it was enjoyable actually.This was just like hanging yourself with a noose with nails in it.
>>52888214You'll get used to this, dont go straight from To Be Kind to this. Go backwards through their discography.
>>52888214Are you saying that it's like hanging yourself with a noose with nails in it in a bad way?
>>52888214>This was just like hanging yourself with a noose with nails in itThat's the point
New Swans fan, and I love this album. Whenever I hear tr00 deathcore faggots talk about how brutal something is I want to rec them this. Makes their faggy breakdowns look like a circle of dudes sucking each other off.
>>52888214>This was just like hanging yourself with a noose with nails in it.Maybe you should listen to the lyrics and you'll understand why.
>>52888674So you like this album because of how edgy it is then?
>>52888744He likes the album because it is a true expression of aggression and unfulfilled life.
>>52888781>He likes the album because it is a true expression of aggression and unfulfilled life.So, edgy and and angsty then?If you like an alum called "Public Castration is a good idea," because of those things rather than in spite of them then you're just as bad as the "Deathcore kids."
>>52888214Sufjan Stevens is my favorite artist but I've listened to this full album multiple times. It's greatBut you should start with less brutal Swans if you haven't yet
i'm comfortable saying i don't like this album. I don't like any of the early Swans work, but others seem to like them and I respect their opinions. Let's all get along and agree on the Swans albums we do like ! Soundtracks for the Blind for example, is amazing <3
>>52888807when you use buzzwords like 'edgy' you are as bad as the deathcore kids
>>52888824Edgy is not a bbuzzword you dunce. It's a generally accepted word. "Selfie" is a buzzword. Edgy is just a word.http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/edgyYou have 10 seconds to justify why you don't like Slayer - Reign in Blood without using the word edgy.
>>52888807>channeling emotions through the music is edgy and angsty and badhave you heard of the Romantic era of musicor really, all music
>>52888999Channelling emotions of "Aggression and an unfulfilled life" is certainly edgy and angsty, especially when your album is called "Public castration is a good idea." There's nothing innately wrong with tryhard edginess, but to be shitting on stupid children (Deathcore kids) when you're essentially listening to conceptually the same thing as them with a different coat of paint is pretty dumb.
>>52888807"Music isn't allowed to express negative feelings because muh buzzwords"
Is this one of the best live albums ever
>>52888823Johnny go to bed
>>52888130Listening to opener.So far sounds like every Swans song ever.Which isn't a bad thing.
>>52889104>"Music isn't allowed to express negative feelings because muh buzzwordsRead this:>>52889074
>>52888999>>52888999Checked, sir.
>>52889140I did, you say that channeling aggression in music is tryhard edginess. Which is pretty dumb, anger is just as much of a valid thing to express as any other emotion. I'd agree that the title of this album is definitely meant to provoke, and I'm fine with people taking that as they will, I just disagree with your blanket statement about music that channels anger in general.
It isn't THAT heavy as you guys say it is. Pretty awesome album though.
This isn't even that brutalI think the Young God EP is heavier
