I've never really looked in to this band. They are cited as influences to so many bands, and from what I have heard, I am definitely intrigued. What would you guys recommend as a good starting album?
Swans
- Thread starter beast from the east
- Start date
im interested as well. i heard them a while back but i think i remember the vocals bothering me. i was expecting to hear jarboe, maybe i listened to the wrong album.

It is a great band that have made quite a few releases. I would start with "Children of God" or "Greed".
Also check Michale Gira's band Angels of Light, the first three records from them are amazing.

).Celebrity Lifestyle,Alcohol The Seed and Killing For Company are great songs.

I think the tidbits I've heard were from Children Of God, iirc. Thanks for the recommendations, el serpiente and Enslaved!

I was definitely surpised at their sound. They seem so much different than other bands that were out at the time.

I have to agree that TGA is superb. It does however sound different than the earlier stuff. But TGA could also be a great way to start our with Swans.
