ITT: Albums you don't really enjoy that much, but you can't stop coming back to them and re-trying and re-trying it.

Listen to some of the Loveless clones first. LSD & the Search for God, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Turning into Small.
People say Loveless is an inaccessible album (though I can't say I can relate) and I think the above albums are more accessible.
>>65286042
I actually found STGSTV easier to like than Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam. Feels is the only AnCo that clicked with me the first listen though.
>>65287203
Strawberry Jam was the second AnCo album I listened to and that clicked almost instantly with me. Peacebone was really good, the next 2 tracks were pretty good as well but a soon as For Reverend Green hit I pretty much fell in love.
>>65287093
that album clicked me way late when I first came to /mu/ and after its first try
turns out listening to Bloom (Beach House) helped me a bit.....
also, no headphones,no Loveless
>>65287065
>>65287090
Have you listen to them all? I can't see Filth as being conceptual, it's pretty straightforward
>>65286325
It gets easier after the first two tracks.
ITT: Stockholm Syndrome
>>65287323
I've listened to tbk, the seer and sftb
>>65286042
back when AnCo actually had a unique sound before they just tried to endlessly copy Brian Wilson.
PERSON PITCH
take pills is so good and i feel like the rest of the album is gonna click v soon
>>65287406
Yeah, I'd say definitely try Filth. A lot of people say you shouldn't because it's inaccessible (though, I've never seen it as any more inaccessible than any of Swans' other stuff), but I think it lays down a good idea of the sound that most of Swans work share, that being the use of repetition as a foundation and then building off of that.
Plus, Filth is very melodic and almost danceable, which is why I don't see it as very inaccessible at all
>>65287450
Oh yeah man, it took me a few listens but when it clicked, it was like my eyes were opened. That's a great record
>>65287483
alright man, thanks for the help
>>65287093
I instantly loved it. But dont give up. Itd my fave album of all time.
>>65287203
None of AnCo clicked for me till I heard spirits, which I loved instantly. It also made me appreciate every other anco release, surprisingly.
>>65287704
2nd easiest swans release, muh dad will show me a ladder up the sky is the easiest imo
>>65287704
>>65287797
except for the yum-yab killers, I don't think it is meant to be enjoyed on any level.
>>65287963
Nah, the early stuff is way easier
>>65287981
Yum-Yab Killers is good though. Don't tell me you don't like Volcano
>>65287963
>>65287988
The fact that you call it "easy" is what puts me off
>>65288005
Not that guy, but Volcano is fucking amazing.
>>65288016
"Easy" as in accessible, and we're talking relative to Swans releases, not just whatever normie music
>>65288043
Yeah, it is. People who don't like it because of the drum machine are dumb
>>65287963
what is the burning world
