What's this album about? What's the theme, message, etc? Feel like I'm missing something
>>61969325
"Job" is about the monotony of being a serial killer
I'm guessing that "Clay Man" is about mutilation
"Your Property" is maybe about slavery
"Cop" is about being raped, mutilated and beaten by a cop
"Butcher"'s original title was "Whore", I'm sure you can work out what that is about
The other tracks I'm not sure about
go work construction and then listen to the album

Didn't ask about the songs themselves, I can interpret most of them fine. I mean the album as a whole
>>61969325

It's not a concept album.
>>61969431
there's no overall concept. if you want a more conceptual swans album proceed to children of god, most of the songs are linked by a religious theme.
>>61969431
not a concept album, although i'm pretty sure there's a overarching theme of mind numbingness of work and society as as whole

What I want to know is what the picture in the center of the album cover is of.

Is this the best early Swans album?

I can't choose between saying Filth, Cop, or Public Castration, all are pretty classic. Greed is definitely worst, followed by Holy Money. Body to Body Job to Job is not an album but worse than either of those. Half the tracks on there are just identical outtake versions of Cop tracks.
