How do I into Swans? What album is most accessible?

Just don't. They are overrated.
>>
>>64700475
If you have to ask, you won't get it. Swans isn't for anyone to just "pick up" and "get into".
>>
>Swans
>Accessible
Pick 1

Ignore the haters, start with TBK, move backwards.

give me all yr shekels now

>>64700475
listen to their first ep senpai then stop there the rest is useless
>>
The Seer is actually fairly accessible, that's how I got into them
>>
The Seer is accessible but its also not really that similar to other Swans albums so...
>>
don't bother they're boring as fuck
there's better bands in any genre that they've tried to play
>>
Start with Filth and move forwards, do NOT start with Soundtracks for the Blind

>>64700495
>>64700613
don't listen to these people
>>
You start with the Great Annihilator.
Once you're done listening to everything else, you return to the Great Annihilator.

i started with stftb and it turned out just fine, don't know why this meme is perpetuated on here

also, how come no one ever mentions their s/t? it's pretty great no wave, like a juiced up version of filth
>>
Read the fucking sticky
>>
start with soundtracks for the blind, listen to it a shit load, then listen to everything else from the 90's (WLFRMOI, the great annihilator etc.) then just go wherever you want from there
>>
>>64700660
>Start with Filth

They said they wanted something accessible

>>64700561 seems like the right idea if we want accessibility. But starting with Filth would be better if one wants to just jump right into what they're really about

It really depends on what era you want to listen to, really. They've explored about five different types of music and they have plenty of music that would be unrecognizable as being the same band if it were not for Michael Gira.

I feel like the seer is probably the most accessible you're really going to get for swans.
