is it even worth getting into this band in the year of our lord 2015?
>>60896022
more than any other year even
>>60896022
Definitely. With some of their best releases yet released in the last 3 years and a new album in the works
I like them, if that means anything to you
I want to like Swans. I want to LOVE Swans.
But the tracks I love the most are the streamlined ones, like Screenshot and Oxygen, and that makes me a filthy pleb. I love Giras voice and the instrumentation and their general esthetic but sometimes I feel that their albums are 20% songs I like and 80% drone. If those percentages were switched, Swans would be my favourite band of all time.
Kill me now.

wait what... have you even listened to their older work? especially late 80s and 90s
>>60896223
lmao kill yourself
>>60896022
yes
early Swans in particular is fantastic
>>60896223
I feel you.
>>60896223
Retard listen to something that isn't The Seer/TBK
>>60896223
you're a pleb but thats ok for now, move to something less abstract like their middle or early era. their recent work may not be as brutal as their earlier stuff but its definitely harder to grasp compositionally
>>60896022
Listen to Children of God.

CoG is a quality release, but with very clear goth flavor, so if you're not into that kind of aesthetics you may not like it at all.
>>60896022
yes
listen to filth, cop and young god
then you will know more about swuns than 90% of swans shitposters on /mu/
