It took me a few years but I realized it's this. You will one day too

>>124185769kys bitch
>>124185769Cloud of Unknowing is the best song to come out of the trilogy
>>124185769I agree. It's a bit if a chore to get through but a few years ago I finally made the commitment to sit through every single swans album and this one blew the rest away. It's like it combined old swans relentless repetitive brutality with the newer folkier swans making this folk drone album where every song feels 6 hours long. Idk it just works. Seer was fun too and STFTB is obviously their "masterpiece" but if you lsiten to that regularly you have mental problems
>>124185931STFTB is my favorite album of all time and I'm sane. I'm just fascinated by it's endless textures and thematic elements. I find something new I never noticed before with each listen, no matter how many times I've heard it before. Probably the best use of sampling in rock music as well
it might be the most basic choice but I lean toward To Be Kind because every song feels hooky and each track has a quality that makes it stand out like its a swans greatest hits. after that I usually could go glowing man or seer depending on the day but glowing man does have arguably the most titanic quality
>>124185769>overrated crescendocoreget some taste
>>124186012I'm also sane. I don't have mental issues and I'm tired of people saying I do just for being different. "Durrr this is too WEIRD" grow up. "Were they on DRUGS when they made this???" Kill yourself. "This is so disturbing and le strange... whoever made this has MENTAL PROBLEMS" NO YOU'RE JUST A CLOSE-MINDED MORON WITH NO RESPECT FOR THE INFINITE CHARACTERIZATIONS THAT MAKE UP LIFE AND ARE INCAPABLE OF GRASPING CONCEPTS OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE OF THE SLAVE WORLDVIEW YOU CALL NORMALCY. Sorry anon not you. You're fine, I'm just talking out loud
>>124185769Filth is their best album.

>>124185852Nah dude what about the world looks red, it's good all the way through
>>124186012>>124185931I think you more have problems if you listen to swans are dead regularly, and cop, like you've got problems if you go yeah I'm just gonna listen to cop, cut it out you've got problems, as for soundtracks, it's one of the most cathartic masterpieces, only listened to as a full album or else it's ruined, but most of everything also stands on it owns, the sound is my favourite, SFTB isn't so weird, if anything it's weird how fucking amazing it really is
>>>/r/fantanoforevernu swans sucks so much dick, legit some of the most braindead music ever made
>>124186012>>124187020Ok fine i guess i can see how someone would enjoy iSTFTB. For the record, i implied that it's 1000x better than early swans (which i think is garbage). I just implied that the trilogy albums are way more pleasant to casually listen to than STFTB. I guess it has alot of intriguing qualities and could almost read like an audio version of your favorite psychological horror movie. Maybw i should spin it a few more tims
