Where should I start with Swans?
at the start
Try your local park
Depends on the time of year and climate. It helps to bring some bread.
Pic related is the most entry level album Gira has released.
Don't. They're some of the biggest hacks in experimental music.
Children of God is best album
With their first album, like you would any other artist.

no one does that & most of Swans is only worth listening to if you're a Swansdrone
With children of god or white light in the mouth of infinity

You shouldn't - it's crap
To Be Kind or Filth

I didn't ask whether I should or not, I asked where should I start.
Choose by album cover.
I chose children of god that way and it worked out pretty well. Just look for the one that seems the most intriguing, things have a cover for a reason.
>Listening to rape music
Why don't you watch an OJ Simpson movie and vote for Hillary too if you like degenerate criminals so much?
Filth for the repetitive brutal no-wave sound
Children of God for the mix between post punk and the repetitive no-wave sound
White Light From the Mouth of Infinity for the post-punk sound
Soundtracks for the Blind for the massive experimental opus
To Be Kind for groovy post-rock
You're welcome.

Filth for the memes
Children of God so you can say "Yeah I listen to Swans"
WLFtMoI to be a contrarian
SftB to fit in with hipsters
TBK to fit in with hipsters and have "relevant" tastes
Fixed
They changed their sound a lot so you can kind of just pick one. Definitely at some point listen to soundtracks for the blind even if you hate the other one though.

Especially Swans. MG has said that the album art is supposed to represent the emotions of the album.
So desu this is good advice.

SFTB is their OK Computer. Even people who dislike the band like that album
children, annihilator, my father
these are good intros to branch out from

you are so clever
Filth, Children of God, and The Great Annihilator are the easiest, or in Filth's case informative, starting points. Once you've listened to those, branch out based on the ones you like and go from there.
