I have criminally just started listening to them a month ago, but the Seer is fantastic and so is Love of Life and Soundtracks for the Blind :O |
I also started listenning to them a month ago but still not 'illegally' in the terms of law. :D But I decided that if I preordered the album and in fact I paid two times more than I would do it now only in order to have it few days before official release and have it signed by Gira, I was allowed to try it out. But I appreciate their work and I gonna buy their previous albums if only they will be available on Young God Records store... Anyway, beautiful album, better than The Seer and I hope Swans won't stop working. But I don't think so, becuase their next albums are better and better. Best 2014 album, definitely. And my favourite track is Bring The Sun. What about you?

I plan on listening to some Swans albums and then this when it officially comes out (to my knowledge the only streams are pretty low quality?). Looks very promising considering it's already at 636 in the RYM charts and it hasn't come out yet

Just because it's a stream doesn't mean it's really low qual. The songs sound fine to me.

Streaming now from NPR. Doubt I'll listen to the entire two hours in one sitting, but I'm loving it so far!

Hm... stream is much better than 96 kbps, believe me. If you want you can check this one and after week or two you will enjoy best quality from flac ;) This stream will work only a week. I think and it is worth to try.

Just preordered my copy. It comes with a free download of the album, so if the CD doesn't arrive on the release date, I can still have it digitally.

Fantastic HolyMoly!  I preordered my album at the first day and two days ago I got a message from YGR that they had sent me an album. Now it is on Jamaica and I'm in Poland... so I'll get it no sooner than on 12th, that is one day before street date. Nice preorder.  They should give a super bonus, e.g. My Father... or sth like that to compensate the time I have been waiting for it. Anyway, I'm happy I'll have my own deluxe edition (2CD + DVD) of album and it will be cool if Swans visit my country this year, I've never been on their concerts but I heard they are incredible. I cant wait for their old albums that are going to be rereleased. I'd be nice to have Public Castration... on a CD

Oh, and if you wanna more interviews that are interesting (how interview with Gira can't be intersting?!) I can recommend these: What's more, Swans has their own Youtube's canal and they posted their last two albums (full version).
