SOULSEEK LEAK IS LEGIT
>>65508557
zippy when?
>>65508598
the zippy is on soulseek too
>>65508557
goddamnit I'm at work for the next 9 hours
>>65508616
that really made me think...
>>65508621
dam
>>65508557
>implying I'd listen to a Swans album with 2 tracks missing
I'll wait til the full version is leaked
track two is fucking nuts, when the groove starts, FUCK thats so tight
I hope the two tracks go online before I finish Frankie M tho :D
It's a fake, I downloaded the zip and got All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Droolin instead. I feel disappointed.
>>65508707
It's absolutely legit, it just has the last two tracks missing, which is a damn shame.
We'll get them in a day or two anyway.
>>65508724
im pretty sure we will have a proper leak later this day.
I've got an email from young god saying that they sent me the vinyl on monday....
>>65508694
>MONSTEEEEEER EAAAAATEEEEEERRR
wow, what a journey that song is
so far its my favorite long Swans song
full leak whennn
has anybody who pre-ordered this with The Gate got any sort of confirmation yet?
downloading it right now off of soulseek but it's pretty slow.
>>65509042
I preordered it with The Gate but I haven't gotten any sort of email confirmation
please giff mega
>>65509042
I got confirmation but it was a regular pre-order, not The Gate.
I also don't think this leak is legit, it's been an hour and it should be all over the place. Probably OP was just bored and thought it'd be funny.
>>65509058
Post it on Mega once you get it please.
>just the last 2 songs
>only the title track at a mere 28 minutes
>the closer / end note, but who needs it?
No big deal. It's not like you're missing over a quarter of the entire record.
Major props to everyone else choosing to wait just a bit longer. I'd say it's better than nothing but it's not.
>>65509065
References to the tracks have been legitimate so far.
>>65509078
yeah its not worth it with the title track or ending missing.
>>65509058
Just finished downloading the first track, it's legit
>>65509077
I'll post the first track so you guys know that I'm not making this up that it's legit
>>65509106
Can also confirm - sounds amazing thus far.

^The first track, I'll post the rest once it finishes downloading
>>65509103
>>65509078
whats the big deal? I can listen to 75% of the album and when the rest gets uploaded later today (I hope!!!) I can finish it
currently on Frankie M desu
>>65509128
Post them as you download them so those without Soulseek can hear.
>>65509155
the guy on slsk is offline, how are you still downloading
>>65509065
I assume the source of the leak is from what.cd, someone uploaded it 4 hours ago but deleted it half an hour later because the tracks were watermarked
It's legit
>>65509176
well it's not downloading anymore, it finished Cloud of Forgetting and then stopped
FUCK
SOMEONE MUST HAVE IT
I have all but the last two tracks... if someone gives the last two tracks I'll zip it and post it
>>65509212
It might be a while before we get them but they might appear individually - wanna zippy the first 8 for now?
welp time to leave mu for a week or so
only album i'm excited for this year, and i don't want to see it memed for a week. i'm one of those sentimental bastards that waits to listen to his most anticpated releases on a physical format.
>>65509223
*six even
not a proper leak
>>65509161
Not to over-tighten my fedora here, but the "big deal" is that Swans albums are a very cohesive journey that feel imperative to listen to from start to finish, at least on the first go. You're getting to hear the first 75% and then you have to stop dead in your tracks. You've been subjected to the atmosphere and all the twists and turns the band has created for the whole experience, but you're robbing yourself of the final acts and just pulling out way, way too early. It'd be like hearing The Seer for the very first time and ending on Avatar, and being like "lol Welp that's good enough for now". Fuck that. You've made it this far... why not wait another half-day to hear the whole thing as intended?
Just my 2¢ though.
Legit. Someone please zip the first 8 tracks.
>>65509230
oh fuck off faggot
go be melodramatic somewhere else
>>65509194
i got 4/6 available songs before the user went offline half way through frankie m
and on one else who dld has put it in their share folder
have you guys checked what.cd? I don't have an acc so someone please look
>>65509230
I know how you feel *grooms beard* *takes a memorial toke of his JC Penney cigar* us intellectuals, huh?
>>65509262
see >>65509185
It was up there, but the tracks are watermarked
Somebody MUST have got it off What before it went down.
>>65509266
I can respect his post more than any of you faggots who think it's a race to listen to 3/4 of a watermarked album. You're probably the same kids who intentionally nut after a minute and a half of furry porn.
>>65509278
I did, don't plan on sharing though.
there is a weird stutter after Gira says "Frankie why?" on Frankie M from the soulseek upload by the way
>>65509290
if you could share only the last two tracks you'd be the man
Album is the best post reformation Swans. A fitting final record. Title track is the best thing they've made. Chaos.
A few of us have had this for a while.
>>65509290
wow look at this guy, he doesn't share, that's badass
>>65509288
Lol I buy most of my music (and not just LPs like a /mu/drone). To think you're superior for it is stupid. Though to think it's inferior for buying music is also stupid (unless it's digital). File Sharing is cancerous for the music industry though not for "artistd losing money" (as that's a myth unless you're a really big band) but because it makes half-assed fans who only listen to the most popular album a band has to offer then never expand.
>>65509290
>don't plan on sharing though
:(
>>65509065
The second half of "The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black" makes me fucking dance.
I AM BLIND
>>65509230
by memed you mean posted about in reaction to it being heard by people? right?
because thats how literally every board works on 4chan, and when shit like this comes about its one of the only fun things about /mu/, until the endless shitposting against the album comes and ruins any fun, and that comes sooner and sooner after release every year
>>65509319
Not arguing against file sharing. I download a lot but I also buy a lot even if digital is the only option. I'm mostly just perplexed by people scrambling to be the first to hear an incomplete Swans record, no matter how it's obtained. I can easily wait it out if it's a guarantee to hear the whole thing in full without watermarks or hiccups. But my care factor or patience are much greater than most I guess.
>>65509370
SUUUURRRREEEENNNNDDDDEEERRRR
>>65509387
Can't wait to see the wave of shit posts that will flood in JUST because it's a good album that people can't stop talking about.
>le contrarians
>>65509392
Don't buy digital it's a scam, maybe for bandcamp it's ok but on iTunes you're not really helping the artist as they get practically nothing from it. For "big" albums I usually wait a year, although I got The Powers That B shortly after it came (reduced and sealed) I didn't listen to it until a month ago as I knew the hype would be gone by then.
>>65509392
I think most people here are waiting until we get the final two tracks, but as far as watermarks go I don't think they're something you'd notice listening. The version of What is effectively the same version we'll be getting in our CD copies. The reason I'm so keen for it to leak is I've got a couple of free hours tonight which I won't have again for ages.
>>65509360
personally I think that the grooviest part is on track 2 when the main riff starts
>aaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAA VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
also I like how there is so much female presence on the album, I don't think there is a track where there is not a girl doing that wailing drone in the background
>>65509155
Any updates on the download? Also can you stick 'When Will I Return' in the ZIP too?
>>65509514
it's still not downloading so I assume the guy must have went offline
So how different is it from the live versions?
>>65509446
Digital is my absolute last resort, don't worry. I opt for a physical medium straight from the label if it's not overseas or significantly cheaper elsewhere.
>>65509449
I got you. I don't think it'll be long for those last 2 tracks to leak and I'm glad you're waiting a bit longer. Everything I've heard and read about the title track makes me think it'll be critical to hear in context of the whole record.
Is it worth holding out for the last two tracks?? I mean on of them is almost 30 minutes long, it's not like we're only missing 5 or 10 minutes of the album...
>>65509458
>also I like how there is so much female presence on the album
Gira clearly added it to fight the rape accusation, he wants to look like he cares about women
im very excited to drop acid and listen to this though i will probably do my first listen sober and another 100 times still before then too desu
>>65509551
Yes, don't ruin your listening experience.
>>65509551
This guy gets it. It's also the fucking TITLE TRACK and heart of the album. Would you guys knowingly listen to Seer or TBK for the first time if you knew it wouldn't have The Seer or Bring the Sun included? Or nah it's all good?
>>65509535
hard to tell, its mostly a bit softer and more playful, at the same time featuring more female vocals, moaning Gira, strange instruments and such
also someone leak the last two tracks please
>>65509553
album was finished before the accusation you sjw
>swans
never heard of them
>>65509551
The version of Frankie M is half the song too - so it's even less technically.
>>65509591
>>65509576
I know right?
I started downloading the whole package and listening as it went, and sadly I was halfway through Frankie M when the title track disappeared.
I assume I should kill myself asap because my ruining experience is ruined and I will never enjoy the album again.
no thanks, not a teenaged edgelord
>>65509626
>sjw
>clearly a bait post from usual 4chan shit
full leak fucking when???
>>65509528
>>65509514
it's back up, currently at 38% on Cloud of Unknowing, will upload when track is complete
>>65509641
You only get one first listen. But if you absolutely insist on cheapening that so you can partake in le Swans memes (lolol) and LYRICS IN ALL CAPS this morning, don't let my rants intervene with your faggotry.
>>65509638
That's the biggest fucking tragedy.
>>65509721
where?
>>65508557
Feels good man.
Also, Frankie M. is a full 20 minute track.
>>65509721
POR FAVOR
>>65509721
PLEASE
>>65509712
>>65509712
Yeah: I only downloaded them to skim listen - I am going to wait until the full album leak... it seems to cut off just as the vocals come in.
>>65509721
Do it, for us.
>>65509700
okay, best listens tend to be third to fifth ones for me anyway
also this is probably the worst album to post funny lyrics of, there is no SPACE CUNT or YOUR NAME IS FUCK in the first 6 songs and in the title track I AM AN ASSHOLE MAN has been replaced by I AM A NA NA NA NA NOTHING MAN so yeah
I can still quote the album in a funny way though, watch this:
>>65509721
>SAVE US!
>>65509721
JESUS CHRIST
DO
IT
>>65509638
what? My Frankie M is 20:58 which is correct according to official tracklisting isnt it?
>>65509721
it's always the same little game, they want people to beg, then don't release shit in the end
uploading onto mega now.
>>65509749
At least from what I've seen live, that track goes the hardest after that vocal interlude. I hope everyone hearing it for the first time gets that full 20 minute version. I'm expecting huge things from its finale.
>>65509721
Even if it's just the last two tracks man.
Do it, for the love of god.
>>65509772
Oh, well mines is half that for whatever reason: I think the file got removed mid-download or something? I'll just delete it and wait.
>>65509780
Please...
>>65509721
just the last two tracks my man!

The World Looks Red/The World Looks Black is currently at 49%

Someone shared it at slsk by mistake. It's watermarked and he pretty much begged me to not to share it. So I won't do it. And you shouldn't post these first few songs as well. It's out in a next week anyway.
>>65509833
nerd
>>65509833
well it's kinda too late for that, huh
>>65509833
some preorders have been shipped on monday, I think its pretty much a guarantee we get the whole album on friday at the worst... right?
here is the first six tracks friends :) : https://mega.nz/#fm/5UYAxYjA

>>65509905
You save files in your shared folder, you turn on slsk and it is happening
Can someone just upload all 8 tracks? Jesus
Alright I'm going back to bed for an hour. Hopefully when I get up we got a full leak.

>>65509928
oh sorry https://mega.nz/#F!9EozERYY
>>65509721
Be a hero.
>>65509905
It's actually quite easy, if you turn SLSK on and you had the files in a shared folder users can download it. It's easy to be sharing your whole library and not realize that album someone sent you and you copied to your iPod is already being downloaded.
>>65509975
:^)
>>65509975
>decryption key
>>65509987
if this is the case, then why are they still sharing it on slsk, after they begged you to not share it
>>65509975
Needs a decrypt key
>>65509975
>To access this folder/file, you will need its Decryption key.

I'm not gonna bother DLing if it isn't whole. Can someone confirm?

All we need are the last two tracks.
Please
JUST
>>65510035
>>65510036
I assumed as much but I figured I'd be a darling and give him the benefit of the doubt <3
>>65510030
THANK YOU BASED ANON
Now everyone has the first 6 tracks we only need Glowing Man and Finally Peace
>>65510063
All you need to do is copy/paste the link. You can check the files yourself
>>65509042
No confirmation yet, I got The Gate with signed CD, hopefully we'll hear something from YG soon
>>65510072
It wasn't on purpose. I'm just retarded.
SOMEONE SHOULD CONTACT THE SOULSEEK BRO
AND ASK FOR THE LAST TWO TRACKS
I just jerked off, i hope this is worth it
>>65510103
he doesnt have them, also he is offline
first the BP leak is missing a song, now the Swans leak is missing TWO songs
is this the year of fucked up leaks?
>>65510030
this is legit but it's only six tracks
thanks anywho mate
>>65510103
one guy had them all, he didnt want to leak it but surely some unscrupulous bastard was quick enough to download them before he aborted
>>65510149
I NEED THEM
WHO HAS IT
WHAT CAN I GIVE YOU IN ORDER FOR THE LAST TWO TRACKS?
Is it just me or does Michael Gira really like minor thirds? Just moaning on a minor third for an entire song? Like I love Swans but this just became really obvious to me
>>65509721
LEAK IT ANDY
>>65510030
thanks anon

ill suck your dong for those tracks no joke andy boy
Today is a good day
>>65509721
Andrew. My son. Please.
I don't know why the leaker doesn't leak it all now. The watermark software is going to recognise the source of the first 6 tracks anyway, whats the point of stalling now other than torturing us?
...oh

why did i laugh so hard
>>65510267
>downloading a burning world
WHEN
what exactly is the watermark? is the audio different in some way or are there file tags?
>>65510267
>listening to a new album on shuffle
Why?
>>65510299
because it's that fucking awful
not to mention that that leak was actually the second one to potentially happen, with the first guy fucking off forever without actually leaking it
oh, and that iphone leak was only posted in a low bitrate because the guy couldn't figure out how to upload a .wav
Just marathoned the first track. Was it good?

>>65510384
why not?
First track is a fucking masterpiece
What a way to start an album
It'd be nice to see how it FINISHES TOO
LAST TRACKS WHEN
so is anyone getting their preorder soon? theyre being shipped since monday so some lucky guy has to get it today or tomorrow right
>>65510079
Im on mobile, beb
just marathoned opening the mega link
was it good?
just marathoned copy and pasting the mega link
was it good?
>>65510421

What did he mean by this?
If you arent listening to this just because it's missing two tracks you are a faggot.
Frankie M it's fucking massive btw
HAHAHAHAHAHA DOTY

Please kills yourself after you wrap up your incomplete first listen of Glowing Man. Frankie M. is a suitable note to end your pleb life on.
>>65510523
Me too. Keeps the suspense up
>>65508557
is this swans band the new Neutral milk of /mu/??
>>65510523
its basically like watching a show with a week in between new episodes
except we get 6 episodes on one day and the other two episodes hopefully tomorrow or friday if people start getting their preordered copies
>>65510535
Don't cry now. The rest will be up before you can say 'your name is fuck'
>>65510535
Maybe if you listened to the album you'd stop being so bitter :)
>>65510555
That's not how albums work.
Anyway more to the point SOMEONE LEAK THESE SONGS FFS
>>65510523
I dont fucking care, i know the full album will be a better experience, but i have more than one hour and a half of new Swans music, im happy as fuck.
And it's not like Michael Gira is the master of album tracking and order, so , i dont really care.
Btw>>65510523
>making this shitty analogy
>watching movies for the plot
>>65510566
I think I'll hold out a bit longer. Everyone has had nothing but favorable opinions for the title track and I really want the closer to be the last note I walk away from after that first listen.
>>65510336
>>65510421
>>65510444
Just marathoned reading these posts, were they good?
if someone leaks the last two tracks ill pierce my dickhole and send a picture to michael girl
>>65510606
Fair enough
just marathoned typing in "swans" into google
are they good?
>>65510616
light to decent five
>>65510586
So you watch movies so you can feel like you have a place when it's being discussed online as soon as it hits theaters? lol
And the full album flow is very well done this time around. Not that you'd know but it's still worth mentioning.
Just finished listening to those 6 tracks
All songs are basically Bring The Sun in one way or another.
Gira, why.
>>65508557
I had a promo copy of this but didn't want to post until someone else leaked it. Having listened to it three times or so, lemme say this: it's no more or less impressive than the other two albums. As a finale, it's pretty ho-hum, but ho-hum for swans is excellent.
>>65510608
sorry man I know I look liek a troll but I literally havent been on /mu/ is 7 years...
Last time I was here neutral milk hotel was lauded as one of the best albums and everyone here loved it.
Now it seems liek this swans band is the shizz...
Just asking if Swans is currently the favorite of /mu/
>>65510648
How likely would you say you are to zippy the final two tracks?
>>65510652
They're pretty popular around here but the reason for the recent influx in discussion is due to the new album
>>65510644
lol did you even listen to it or are you just posting bullshit? I feel like you couldn't be any more wrong but alright
>>65510648
firmly incorrect as well
>>65510648
>didn't want to post until someone else leaked it
Well, someone else leaked it so... Now the album will get a bad image because of its incompleteness
>>65510644
he's been shit since the seer
that was an anomaly
swans have been dead since 1996
IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD IS IT GOOD
blocks
>>65510304
Burning World is good
>>65510652
/mu/ doesnt have a favorite but Swans come pretty close... Death Grips have strong and vocal fanbase here as well but plenty of people hate them, while there is largely a consensus that Swans are pretty legit in music world and the haters are mostly just baiting or prefer early Swans (still Swans tho)
NMH has a special place in /mu/ culture though, its a whole different matter entirely, also they don't play anymore
>>65510652
Well since their comeback with The Seer, /mu/ is all over Michael Gira and his bunch. They were friends of Sonic Youth during their early years, so I guess that can give you a clue of why people like them a lot around here.
>>65510648
>ok lets make this troll post as vague and neutral as possible to make it seem legit
Who else is waiting for the full leak?
>>65510700
I agree tbqh
>>65510644
wut
>>65510703
Yes
>>65510639
I watch movies because i enjoy them, and i listen to music because i enjoy music. What's the problem.
Listening to those two tracks now or tomorrow wont make any difference, do what you want, but im enjoying the album while you are not.
>>65510718
Not me. Why would I want to listen to the entire album including 30 minutes?
>>65510708
>They were friends of Sonic Youth during their early years, so I guess that can give you a clue of why people like them a lot around here.
nah people here just liked the original swans, especially sftb
>>65510718
I'm with you anon
>>65510718
Me. Still no confirmation on my order. Ordered vinyl w/ the gate.
Should be today, right?
>>65510718
me, but that doesnt stop me from listening to these 6 tracks.
>>65510767
ITS LIT
SAVAGE
MADNESSS
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
>>65510718
I'm waiting. Order it on vinyl when The Gate came out. No confirmation.
Once a leak containing the last two tracks comes around, I'll take that journey.
>there is someone lurking itt right now who has the full album and is contemplating sharing
Who /Frankie M/ here?
sounds like a typical latter day Swans album, nothing special
>>65510792
:^)
all true. except for the "contemplating" part. it's watermarked, so not gonna take that bullet

I don't think its gonna happen today desu. I actually suspect we are going to get it once someone gets his copy from the mail which could be Friday or Monday.
>>65510810
>sounds like typical swans album
thats why we are so hyped cant you see?
so does each advanced copy have a specific watermark?
>>65510810
>swans made an album that sound like swans
wow thats bullshit, i wanted to hear a sonic youth album with this new swans album
>>65510820
>>65510837
>I'm happy with mediocrity
>>65510837
what? didn't sonic youth break up ages ago?
>caring about more monotonous music from Swans that doesn't go anywhere
>>65510841
>its mediocrity if a band sounds like the band that made the album that they made
>the climax of the first song

>>65510849
Retard.
>>65510864
It's mediocrity if they haven't progressed their sound at all, yes.
people still care about this mediocore crescendocore shit?
>>65510877
best post itt
>>65510880
This and everything else you've posted is magnificently retarded.
>>65510878
great argument
PLEASE.
PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY.
I AM BLINDDDDDDDDDD
>>65510889
GREAT FUCKING ARGUMENT
>>65510890
Old Swans > Neo-Swans
you cannot disagree tbqh famillias
>>65510897
Thanks man, glad you liked it. Too bad those dubs didn't work out for you though. Better luck nex time, kiddo.
>>65510911
Nice samefagging. At least you actually got dubs this time.
>>65510914
Word.
>30 min songs
>>65510925
you seem mad people don't like your new favorite mediocre hip band
>>65510914
they're both really good, but they're different to the point of being really hard to compare. Like comparing Bring The Sun to Song For Dead Time, or A Screw to something like The Apostate
>>65510914
nah
>>65510718
Same.
>>65510880
this is a different iteration of swans, they have been exploring this sound in different ways since they made the seer, and then to be kind, and now this
ill refrain from commenting on the glowing man since ive heard nothing from it other than the single, but it seems like a variation on the sound vs a step somewhere else
you could compare it to their early material like cop, filth, and holy money, you COULD, but you would also have to realize that not every new album from a group has to be a drastic step in a different direction
>>65510958
Nope, not even a little bit. But mediocre seems like your new favorite word which is a shame because it's pretty mediocre as words go.
3 minutes into the cloud of unknowing
FUUUUCCCKKKKKKKKKKK
>>65510960
Swans doesn't have one good album after SFTB
>>65510734
>implying I haven't been enjoying all 8 tracks of the entire album for the last month
>>65510987
Wrong.
>need last two tracks
>>65510976
So far both of the first two tracks would fit fine on To Be Kind, so it doesn't matter what your 18 year old ramblings attempt to say (it's clear you haven't listened to a lot of music).
>>65510980
I agree. Uninspired music and Gira being desperate for cashgrabs is more fitting.
>>65511019
Wrong again. I don't actually expect you to know a thing about their history or music or anything though.
>>65511009
>the current year
>assaulting someone for their political belief
>>65510987
Right you are. 1 ≠4.
>>65511032
the black dude was a trump supporter
>>65511017
thats a lot of assumptions based off nothing, also i said i hadnt heard anything other than the single so why are you accusing me of saying that the first two songs sound like ANYTHING
what are you trying to prove here?
This is a kick in the teeth man. I mean what are the chances of everything but the last two tracks leaking? Another few minutes and everyone would have the full album.
>>65509290
>b8_edgy.jpg
>>65511031
Stop whiteknighting for Gira. He's not the only one who has done this throughout music history. Young God was dying financially, so why not "get the band back together" and sell it to a new audience to keep the company afloat.
>>65509653
people said sjw on 4chan before real life cucks began to popularize it~
>>65511031
fanboy spotted
>two tracks missing
>leave for an hour
>not leaked yet
>>65511058
Really not even defending him man, there isn't any need. If that's what you want to believe, go for it. Just so you know, you pretty much tacitly acknowledged there's really nothing wrong with it.
>He's not the only one
>>65511078
Sure thing.
>>65511047
You proved for me that Swans fans are clueless kids hahahahahaha
post yfw no last two tracks
>>65511088
Sorry Steve

>>65511042
so?
>>65511122
No idea. Those digits are fine though.
cool, yet another overrated Swans release
>>65511132
>trying this hard to be a contrarian
>>65511132
>overrated release
>incomplete leak that came out less than 20 hours ago
>all these anons posting about how mediocre and overrated the album is
point me to a single rock band as good and interesting as Swans that plays today, I dare you
>>65511100
youve proved nothing but that you didnt already want to reinforce for your already unwavering established opinions
you dont like swans, or at least the new swans, so you came here to shit loudly about it and have a, pointless and ostentatious argument to get a rise out of people, its pretty mediocre and sounds like a typical 4chan post
>>65511162
>>65511163
>>65511168
>Replying to bait.
Don't do that.
post last two songs
i just wanted to hear black hole man
>>65510817
what does "watermarked" mean when you talk about albums?
>>65511168
Radiohead. Checkmate.
Full leak pls
>>65511168
>>65511198
>rock
>>65511198
fucking kek
if anything AMSP proved that they are running on fumes
>>65511194
audio watermarks. to put it simply, it's (often) an inaudible sound which can be detected with special software. For example, an inaudible blip which occurs at a very specific time on every track.
If dubs full leak will happen within an hour

>>65511194
>>65511168
Kayo Dot easily.
>>65511216
>are running on fumes
lol , why?
Is it good?
>>65511216
Not trying to get into a pointless internet argument here or anything, but I vehemently disagree.
>>65511222
thanks. Chek'd.
>>65511232
ok
>>65511231
Come on, man.
>>65511222
Because of this, if each copy was sent out with unique watermarks, they can track down who leaked it, possibly.
>>65511216
>>65511251
>>65511259
>another good thread ruined by edgy contrarians and sensitive fangirls
>>65511122
So the guy he punched was protesting an event in a kkk hood thinking he was being funny and ironic
>>65511288
It was never a good thread. Fuck off. Not arguing though.
>>65510914
define "old"
post-rock Swans > goth rock/neofolk Swans > post-punk Swans
>>65511311
shut up. Chek'd.
>>65511288
or nonsensical whiteknighting fanboys
>>65510741
I just wanted to say that Sonic Youth is the kind of band nearly everyone love here.
By the way, Cloud of Unknowing is meditation-in-the-mongoilian-mountains-with-an-impeding-sense-of-doom tier, this is the first neo-Swans I listened to and it's quite awesome, especially with the fucking hot weather I'm currently experiencing
>>65511324
you furst faget, no dubble for yu cunt
>>65511348
u shur abt tht
>>65511363
sorry I meant
>>65511318
Their version of post-rock is Gira's incessant moaning, masturbatory dulcimer/ lap steel guitar, and predictable crescendos. At least their other two phases were more original
>>65511349
alright this one is pretty funny
>>65511363
>>65511375
nah kid, let me show u how its dun
Quit bickering and leak the last two tracks
>>65511387
the first valid argument you've put forth, congrats
>>65511009
When did this happen?
>>65511405
With the exception of their earlier music possibly being more original, It's not, but that's okay. Think what you like.
>>65511349
I'M ALIIIIIVE
>>65511416
you realize i'm on your side right
>>65511387
>Their version of post-rock is Gira's incessant moaning, masturbatory dulcimer/ lap steel guitar, and predictable crescendos.
objectively wrong
>At least their other two phases were more original
irrelevant. quality > innovation. i'll take the worst track out of any of their current-era albums over "FLEX YER MUSSULLSSSS" or similar cringey shit from that era.
New thread:
>>65511492
gave in and listened to the incomplete leak. Cloud of Forgetting is incredible.
>>65511446
My mistake, mate.
>>65511460
I always took the "flex your muscles" thing as satire. That he was mocking the kind of machismo attitude he saw going on around him. Also, that's not the only other era they've had. I dig their current music a lot, but I'd take some of my least favorite tracks from SFTB or White Light over some of the better ones off TBK any day.
>>65511460
Jesus Christ if you can't derive any value from the kind of thing their early music was then you're seriously the one that's cringey
