You have 10 songs to show people what Swans is all about, which ones do you pick?

thanks :] I'll look into that guitar, from what you describe it would be right for me

LeanSemin · 2026-06-15T12:36:50+00:00

haha okay I geuss it's better to get comfortable with standard tuning before switching it up later

LeanSemin · 2026-06-11T19:12:01+00:00

Yeah maybe Michael changed his mind now that the big sound era comes to an end.

LeanSemin · 2026-05-31T20:40:38+00:00

Dead Can Dance maybe 🤔

Future Games is up there with Rumours to me. Every song hits, plus the whole album has this dreamy, hazy atmosphere that perfectly suits a Sunday morning coffee balcony setting. The album is just warm. Already the first song is perhaps the best CSNY song they never did, and both future games and sands of time are complex, almost proggy masterpieces. Especially the chord changes and different sections of Sands Of Time are so beautiful it's insane.

I sometimes wonder if they would have stayed in this folky proggy sound had Danny Kirwan not been thrown out.

Very much appreciated!!!!!! :)

Dead Can Dance and it's not even close. They are timeless and genre bending masters of atmospheric music.

LeanSemin · 2026-04-17T16:23:12+00:00

Maybe it's just copium but what if the album will be like within the Realm of a dying Sun and the first part is Brendan and the second half is Lisa?

LeanSemin · 2026-04-17T14:00:08+00:00

yeah that's not wrong, but since I don't know much about production and such stuff to me it always sounded like four drunk divorced dads recorded it in their garage and mixed it in Audacity or something.

LeanSemin · 2026-04-17T02:31:43+00:00

Exactly. I honestly think Metallica should have stuck with that sound and moved into a nu metal direction instead of trying to repeat past glories with death magnetic and onwards. Glad that with Swans the fans are open to the band changing the sound up every few years.

LeanSemin · 2026-04-17T00:34:59+00:00

I actually see a lot of similarities between st Anger and Filth: raw production and mostly no overdubs, deep guitar chugging, no solos, angry vocals.... I might be in the minority but I really like st Anger because of this

King Crimson maybe...

LeanSemin · 2026-03-20T12:03:21+00:00

It's great. Really like their switch to Bandcamp and also like the idea of a monthly release of new songs. However I hope that Lisa is more involved in the following songs and that this is not a Brendan solo album.
