God damn. they actually did it. They actually topped the seer. this might be the album of the decade
Why do people like this derivative, frail shite?

well now i see you're just a walking meme and don't actually like music. nice
>>65705381
You have yet to give a single argument or substantive musical comment.
Instead you're just proving you're another basic /mu/core bitch.
>>65705364
you have a lot of lists and writing yet you've only rated 97 albums
absolutely no credibility
>>65705430
Because I prefer rating only recent albums.
You'll see I have a few classic reviews of classical music with no ratings.
Nobody cares what some random RYM or Youtuber thinks about Loveless.
>>65705456
nobody should care about anything anyone else thinks about an album. ratings are for yourself
>>65705456
well you're at least right that nobody cares...
>>65705509
People seem to care about my RYM.
>>65705495
>>65705509
So neither of you can explain how TGM is worthwhile?
>>65705530
you can't explain how music is good. but in comparison with to be kind, the glowing man is basically to be kind's best moments for 2 hours straight minus all of the cringey moments that ruined tbk
>>65705550
>you can't explain how music is good.
Yes you can you fucking newfag.
>in comparison with to be kind, the glowing man is basically to be kind's best moments for 2 hours straight minus all of the cringey moments that ruined tbk
So you're saying it's derivative of TBK? I agree wholeheartedly.
>>65705324
cause it sounds nice in my ears
>>65705314
Nah, it's horseshit compared to some of the actual, original stuff that's been coming out.
>>65705591

>>65705591
You are the most egotistical, pretentious trip on this board. At least Avant-Math has a sense of humour, you're disappearing up your own asshole. Yes, we've all read your poorly-written RYM review, no need to spread it to where it's not welcome. I've expressed why I believe TGM is an incredible record at length in various other threads so feel no need to do the same here, but you're so self-obsessed you feel a compulsion to derail these discussions because you can't bear to see other people enjoying something you have an issue with.
>>65705613
Can you spoonfeed me some of that good stuff please
>>65705618
So you still don't have any arguments to retort me, then?
>>65705618

/THREAD
A lot more subdued and cohesive than TBK which I like.
If The Seer was the tribe-wide ritual, TGM is the sound of the high priest whispering to the dying embers of the celebratory bonfire
>>65705978
It's a shame that it's been so quickly forgotten about since it's actually a great record (especially with the bonus disc). But these three albums function really well as a triptych since they're similar and cohesive in so many ways but also have distinctions and 'complete' each other.

putting dean blunts black metal right next to the new beyonce is fucking retarded.
correction; it is beyond retarded.
>>65705314
whats that image supposed to be, ketchup on the floor? looks stupid even a 3 year old could make a cover like that
>>65706315
correct
Yea it is the best from the current lineup
I'm not gonna flail about and scream AOTD like a moron, but I think it's their best post-reunion release. Good stuff.
The Glowing Man > The Seer > To Be Kind > My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky
>>65705324
Thank you so much for putting on a trip so now I never have to read you ever again. :)
all these people who don't filter all trips
I have to admit Frankie M is a fucking banger, all the drops.
Otherwise it´s a third album in a row that´s basically the same.
>>65706259
You don't know much about music?
>>65707237
>I have to admit Frankie M is a fucking banger, all the drops.
>>65707283
You've not even given an argument for why it's bad apart from saying its "derivative"
>>65705314
they didn't top TBK
Official objective The Glowing Man ranking coming through.
Frankie M. > The Glowing Man > The World Looks Red/The World Looks Black > Cloud of Unknowing > Finally, Peace > Cloud of Forgetting > People Like Us > When Will I Return?

Threadly reminder that there's an "anonimyze" option on 4chanX. This renders every posters as Anonymous, if everyone used it tripfags would virtually disappear.
Kinda like "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" paradox.
>>65707566
is 4chanx working again? I remember it was fucked up when they redid the site and I got used to the native one
>>65707328
It's just TBK with less energy and all the tracks are more or less the same aside from Frankie M.
>>65707613
nigga 4chan x has been working fine for years
>>65707613
Works like a charm, be sure to use ccd0's fork
Native is ultra-shit in my opinion, looks like some straight outta BBS shit.
>>65705809
That filename
I probably got a very scratched CD. It always gets stuck and I just hear the same chords for like 10 minutes before it moves on
>>65707566
I don't think anyone who feels the need to separate themselves from the Anonymous name, has anything important to say.
filter all trips.

>>65705314
I've never listened to an entire Swans album, so would this be a good place to start? Or should I start at another album?
>>65707665
>>65707659
its been a few years. Native isnt pretty but works. Im only missing redirection of old or deleted to archive, does that work?
>>65707842
just listen to 'Soundtracks for the Blind' and then move on
>>65707842
Just listen to Glenn Branca m8
>>65707766
Literally what is wrong with listening to classical music?
>>65707882
nah, To Be Kind is a better intro
>>65708003
*turns off trip*
>>65708082
Nah I'm not that fucking autist and TGM is my AOTY but of all the things you could criticize him for...
>>65705978
I really like Father. I think it's in the middle of their catalog in my ranking.
>>65708111
I don't think it's that they were saying classical is bad, I think it's just the fact that they made a trip, linked to a rym account. So it's as if this person was trying to boast their music taste by filling it with 'classical music' reviews and then trying to make a name for themselves on /mu/. Pathetic
is there a link to the album?
>>65708233
it's on rutracker
>>65708197
I've had the RYM since January 2015.
That entire time people have been pointing out my posts here without my trip.
I've just decided to simplify things. :)

Goddamn. Everything is either derivative decades/centuries old stuff, ambient for babies who only listen to the main Warp guys and have no real knowledge about electronic music, or some modern attempt at something derivative as fuck.
This list is absurdly casual despite appearing to be anything but.
?
They topped the Seer with To Be Kind
>>65707842
Nigga just start with Filth.
>>65707842
>>65708462
eh, elseq is pretty ace m8, who cares that it's made by one of the more well known artists?
>>65707877
yes, that works fine
>>65708661
>>65707842
God, that flowchart is awful. This one passed around a lot is better imo
>>65709381
There was a thread about making a new, restructured one of these. Did that get anywhere? Or is the original anon still working on it?
>>65705591
not sure why im indulging you, but if you think throwing the word derivative around means anything, it doesnt. derivative has no intrinsic, declasse meaning. this is such a dumb argument its hard to even put it into words.
>>65709401
Ah, I don't think I caught that thread, so I don't quite know.
>>65708267
No you're always coming in trying to make yourself relevant, then people tell you to fuck off and you keep autistically trying to assert your nonexistent superiority because you listen to classical music, nobody on here gives half a shit about you, you just never shut the fuck up about yourself so people can't help but engage you.
>>65708111
nothing its just that people who make rym accounts and give 5 star ratings exclusively to krautrock/classical music r usually pretentious cunts who have no idea what they're talking about
i like some classical music, especially stuff during the romantic era
Great record, but I think it will need some more time to grow on me for real. I was expecting a bit more groovy, and less toussaint louverture-esque.
Frankie M and The Glowing Man are absolutely fantastic.
>>65705664
hahahahahahah
it's not the album of the decade, but it's definitely beat out anything released so far this year
>>65705324
why do you feel the need to hate on it EVERY time there's a thread
it's nice outside, you should enjoy the weather
Disc 1 > disc 2
I can't wait for their new album to drop in 14 years when Swans is considered dad rock and my doctor starts probing my anus with his finger on the regular.
>>65709793
Well that's just incorrect m90
>>65709950
I wish Swans would be considered dadrock
>>65709793
Being aggressively wrong is kinda your thing innit
>>65707842
Start with White Light or To Be Kind. Absolutely do not start with Soundtracks.
>>65705364
fucking hilarious
>>65711409
why?
>>65705364
you are trying very, very hard
Soundtracks > CoG > Cop > Filth > Rest
Preordered with Gate, TGM still hasn't come
GET IT TOGETHER MR. GIRA
>>65707842
White Light is my personal favorite of theirs, but I'm a post-punk junkie too
If you're into heavier music start with Filth, if you're into more structured songs start with White Light, if you're into noise rock start with The Seer
No matter where you start, listening to the band's discography is essential, as well as side albums like Gira's Drainland
>>65711565
At least you got the gate.
Wish they'd press the new live stuff on wax.
>>65711627
I think Gira will focus on re-issuing older stuff once this tour is over, but once a new Swans album (or Gira album) drops, he'll probably crowdfund it with a live album taken from this coming tour
I wouldn't count on any of the crowdfunded albums to make an appearance on vinyl
>>65711510
wtf does this even mean. talk about assumptions/projections wew lad
Swans epitomizes a 7.5/10 act
Only good thing Swans ever did was that cover of that overrated Joy Division song.
>>65711746
I wish he'd put out Soundtracks, TGA and CoG on CD. Hoping that comes soon.
It feels much less intense than TS and TBK. Gonna give it a few more spins before I rate it.
They're playing in my parents' city in october. Should I go? Didn't really like their last show that I saw (2 years ago) but I may be willing to give them a second chance.
>>65711565
Where u based m8
I'm in Europe and already have it.
>>65712082
I'm in the states, did you get a 2nd shipping notice when he sent off Glowing Man?
>>65712002
Do you expect every album just to be more intense from every artist?
>>65712175
Of course not, but I really liked the fact that there was some intensity in those records to contrast the more intimate parts. Kinda missing that a little here, making the album feel a bit more flat.
>>65712152
I only got Glowing Man, sadly. The release date is still tomorrow so I would wait another day or two and send them an e-mail.
I'm going to kill Mister Swans. He'll explain himself before he dies.
>>65712850
I pre-ordered the LP with The Gate and I still haven't gotten a shipping notice e-mail. I hope Gira didn't forget about me.
