Why is this album so overlooked? I think its Swans best work.

You really don't. That's barely a warm up before the real thing.
because it's not 2 hours long, so people might actually listen to it and realise what utter shite it is
the reason the seer and TBK have such high ratings is because no one has ever actually heard them. people who know better... already know better. and those who don't can continue the false hype train. they're the ultimate poseur band

Whoah. That's exactly what a professional faggot would say.
I think OPs picrelated is better than TBK. But it is not, by any means, their strongest work.
It felt less cohesive than their other stuff. A great album, but some of the tracks just sound like Angels of Light with other instruments tacked on. Look At Me Go is just a mess.
This album is like the Swans brand being woken up after being cryogenically frozen for over a decade and reorienting itself to learn how to walk again.
Not even close to their best work.

It's literally The Seer: Lite Version, not bad, but completely overshadowed by its big brother

This, I never thought of it as a true Swans record. It's an Angels of Light record under the name Swans.
Gira didn't start sounding like Swans again until The Seer.

>still pretending to like swans
please tell me how Kanye and death grips are memes and how influential MBV was
The liner notes say that Hunter Hunt Hendrix was on this album but I've never been able to figure out where
dunno. i think i like it the most of their more recent work.

It's just has less of the industrial sound that some of their more popular albums have. Personally, I like it a lot.
