It's albums like this that reinforce why music is one of the few things in life I truly give a shit about.
Swans new double disc The Seer. This album is just phenomenal. It's amazing that a band that is over 30 years old is still one of the most cutting edge acts on the planet.
^ How does it compare to the first two?
Fuck, I forgot how fucking great this.
I'm on my first listen here, and am only partly familiar with their earlier works. I have Fulfill The Curse, also.
What I can say is this is easy to keep listening to. The first track is over 10-mins long. The production may be too clean for some but I'm happy with it. They keep thing moving and interesting. I'm enjoying this very much, but it's not as heavy as I might have been expecting. Easy listening compared to the BDM/Slam I regularly listen to.
Preparing to see them live. Nothing but Primordial and While Heaven Wept tonight and tomorrow.
