It's the same thing as the last one with even less variation and even more repetition. It has 10/10 moments but it's such a fucking chore as a whole.
haven't kept up on the discussion for this album. has anyone noticed this yet?

>repetition

that's the entire point of swans. that being said, out of their most recent albums, the seer did the best job of accomplishing this in a creative and artistically expressive way
That's not HS3

we're still only halfway done with the year.
we'll see in six months which album i listen to the most out of this, radiohead, death grips, or some as-yet unreleased masterpiece that nobody's ready for

"The song ‘The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black’ uses some words I wrote in 1982 or so that Sonic Youth used for their song ‘The World Looks Red’, back in the day. The music and melody used here in the current version are completely different. While working up material for this new album, I had a basic acoustic guitar version of the song and was stumped for words. For reasons unknown to me, the lyric I’d so long ago left in my typewriter in plain view at my living and rehearsal space (the latter of which Sonic Youth shared at the time) and which Thurston plucked for use with my happy permission, popped into my head and I thought “Why not?” The person that wrote those words well over three decades ago bears little resemblance to who I am now, but I believe it remains a useful text, so “Why not?”. Maybe, in a way, it closes the circle.
The song ‘The Glowing Man’ contains a section of the song ‘Bring The Sun’ from our previous album, To Be Kind. The section is, of course, newly performed and orchestrated to work within its current setting"
there's more, but these are the parts that people seem to not realize are definitely deliberate

>even less variation and more repetition
no no no, the variation is just much more subtle throughout, if you don't keep paying attention, there's a ton of "blink and you miss it" musical accents and things going on in that mix that are much more complex than what was going on in the last 2 albums
one thing I will say is that this one has fewer "grooves" than the seer, and especially tbk. leans much more on the atmospheric/trance-inducing side of things

This album is nothing but a snoozefest.

Agreed, The Seer is a masterpiece. Everything since has been diminishing returns. It's not bad by any means but it doesn't do anything for me.

>"blink and you miss it" musical accents
you mean like 15:36?

TGM is an 8, but not much else to debate

IMO To Be Kind is great but not deserving of a 10.
