The Seer, probably.

>>60809283
Or The Sound, that's a close 2nd.
>>
Helpless Child is objectively the best.
>>
I Crawled with Jarboe on vocals, Helpless Child, The Sound, Like a Drug (Sha La La La) and All Lined Up are my top five. Number one is probably The Sound.

Truth has to be told - despite its weight the track is just catchy as fuck.

Mind/Body/Light/Sound, though I recently relistened to The Seer and I've gotta admit, The Apostate is probably a close second.

The rework of Blood Promise on Swans Are Dead is like, the most successful rework of any song I've ever heard.

Time Is Money is an awesome song. I sing it around the house all the time.

>>60809980

you're not a pleb. it's the others who are probably afraid of stay here and the rest of filth yet who like SFTB and the seer who are plebs.

filth is the single most vile, grotesquely beautiful piece of music that's ever been written and put on record. not many albums can have that much primitivism and rage and disgust and still hold up over 30 years and not be cringeworthy by now.


good for you anon, well done.

>filth is highly regarded by Swans fans on /mu/

>cop/greed/holy money get no respect
>>
>>60809242
Right now? All Lined up, Jesus fucking christ when the guitar kicks in, ever time.
>>
I've been listening to The Gate and I can verify that it is fucking sick. I hope that they come to my city when they tour their next album. I'm sure it would be the best day of my life
>>
>>60818348
>>60817969
I got over my fear of the earlier stuff, but Filthy really, really isn't that strong as the "harder" side of it hasn't aged as well as Cop or any of the following albums up until Children of God.
It's far from a bad album, but it really shouldn't be held up as SWANS best by anyone.
>>
>>60818402
The Swans Are Dead version is best.
>>
Failure or Song for a Warrior.only listened to one album though
>>
>>60817969
Filth is honestly very cringeworthy to me. I don't know how can people listen to it and not smash their teeth.

Raping A Slave, Coward.

Gira says the next album is going to be the final album "for this version of Swans." Whatever that means I hope he finishes off on a great album like Soundtracks for the Blind.
>>
Can't believe i haven't seen Killing for company.
>>
not in any specific order

cop
helpless child
final sacrifice
where does a body end (tga version)
mother father
failure
love will save you
like a drug (sha la la la)
beautiful child
a screw
power for power

but this list left out so many songs, there aren't many that i don't like.
>>
>>60823736

You listened to Great Annihilator first or before you knew what SWANS were, that's why.

Gira has a way with words where he can say a completely ridiculous lyric and it will still be compelling.
