I like the way Swans do post-rock more, the progression of their songs feel less predictable and can be really fucking heavy and dark too.

lmao

Which one of them have Helpless Child or Volcano?

>>63946479
It's alright, Efrim. I still like your shit too.

Silly to compare their careers as they're very different

GY!BE for me, but I'm a big fan of Swans. I like their early no-wave stuff better, though

swans here, too

I like GYBE a lot, but swans discography as a whole just cant be rivaled by GYBE

GY!BE

I fucking hate Swans

>>63945638
Swans is fantastic but honestly GY!BE is on a whole different world for me.

LYSF is the better album, but Swans is the better band

>>63947336
Why do you hate Swans?

>>63947344
I don't know, GY!BE has a really solid discography. they've never released anything under an 8/10. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Swans fan, but that's a hard decision

>>63945638
well it is true Swans have more quality albums, but GY!BE is on a whole other level with everything they've released, especially if you line up their post-rock releases,

i went to see swans once and got kicked out for crawling behind the bar and stealing a bottle of jager. i prefer gybe

>>63947429
gybe gets so boring and predictable .

>>63947489
Why would you do that?

>>63947490
I don't know about that. Asunder took me as a surprise all together. Criminally underrated album imo

>>63947525
i was 18 at the time, i'd had precisely 1 beer and was feeling bold

Is there any band that does post-rock like Swans does it? I'm not talking SFTB because that does have at least some recognizable traits of what people recognize in post-rock music.

But The Seer and To Be Kind, can it even be called post-rock? The only thing it shares in common is the long songs.

>>63947686
what aspects of The Seer and To Be Kind are you looking for?

>>63947727
A lot of people call the current iteration of Swans Post-rock and I don't really see it. I've never heard anything in the post-rock genre that sounds like what swans are doing now

Swans of course

I really don't get what people see in GY!BE to be honest. There's better post-rock bands out there

>>63947739
I would say the seer is post-rock, but to be kind is a bit of a stretch.

You can hear elements of the Seer in Allelujah by GYBE, oxygen is pretty much a straight lift from the Ascension by Glenn Branca. If I had to go to any album that sounds sorta like modern swans, you can try Eating and Sleeping (#15) by Kleg.

>>63947739
Post Rock is a pretty broad term. It's not even really a genre. It just describes music made with rock instruments (which is a stupid term imo) used in ways that are non-traditional to rock music. So anything can be Post-Rock as long as it has those traits.

The term is flawed by it's broadness.

>>63945638
i vote is for the rapist

>>63945638
Swans. Not a matter of opinion.

Oh come on now.

Examples please? Just getting into it and love GYBE.

I love them both but if I had to choose it would be GY!BE. They have a more cohesive sound with better direction.
