      this album in particular has a level of minimalism to it in many spots, and a few of the tracks break traditional rules of production and mixing, but it works because of the intent.
      so basically, there needs to be intent, and i think a minimalist approach to making music is a very good way of honing that for yourself

Swans was too loud for me to go "Play the song called Shit Shit!" between songs. Oh yeah, and remember Pitchfork? If you ever saw a tongue velcroed to someone's balls, that was them over this album
