Michael Gira is smart about being street-level with marketing. Record companies have always screwed artists, and he's no exception. I saw Swans perform twice around 2013 or 2014. Tickets were $20. Gira must be over 60 years old and the performance was white-hot intense.

this song is weird because it SOUNDS incredibly oppressive and suspenseful, but if you pay attention to the lyrics it's actually a surprisingly uplifting and positive message about living in the moment.
Theyve influenced a shit load of bands dude. Melvins, Godflesh (Broadrick in particular), Weakling, Black Flag, Black Midi, Tool, Neurosis(I think), Tom Morello
Not even a fan of this type of rock, but there’s something about this song and album I can’t explain but enjoy so much. It’s so haunting yet minimal in sound, but works together so perfectly. It’s unlike anything I’ve heard before.
Same as you, and at least for me the thing that makes me love it it's how intriguing and misterious it sounds, like if there was going to happen something although I know it won't
Late to this, but check out the seer by this band!! It's another album in the same vein as this one, but in my honest opinion is leagues better. It feels like you're witnessing a tribe in the deep wilderness reach some insane power, and it really just is probably the most insane record I've heard. So many sections are deranged and hellish while still somehow being beautiful and touching, seriously recommend!
minimal in sound ? there's parts with like a millions layers I don't even understand how they make it sounds so unified but it's so complex. Shoutout to the sound engineer. Marvelous work
I blasted this record in my pitch black bedroom while laying on my back and staring at the ceiling. I was so involved that I didn't realize how loud it was. My mother came in and screamed at me for a good 10 seconds till I knew what was happening. No regrets here. Long live swans.
This is the first song I've ever heard that I want to keep replaying despite not wanting it to ever get old so I only play it to savor it. It's like a reward, no other song has me this way. I am mesmerized and I haven't heard any more of the album past this. No words.
I will never forget seeing them live and meeting Michael Gira after the show. One of the nicest people I've ever met. After chit chatting for a bit, he signed this album for me on the spot. I will always treasure that moment and this album. Long live SWANS!!!
This is my most listened-to song for the past three years. Something about the lyrics-the listing of such simple but universal things about being a human being-cures my anxiety and gives meaning to the daily monotony of everyday life. I can't describe it.
this is the most menacing song I've ever heard it sounds like being tailed by something you can't see, and then it reveals itself and starts eating your eyes
I haven't heard anything like this before in my life. While it's not something I'm going to listen to casually, I understand why this objectively can be a 10/10 song. This is beautifully hypnotizing and terrifyingly haunting simultaneously. When the crescendo drops at 6:20, my eyes widened. I forget how powerful music can be sometimes.
i've determined that the best way to listen to this song is to blast it on headphones while staring at the La Grande Jatte painting. i swear that thing gets more fucked up the longer you look at it, this is practically a soundtrack to it.
timeparadox888 - Do you mean Seurat’s pointillist painting, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte?” 🎨 Why that painting? I’m just curious. 🤷🏻♀️ It’s not an association that springs readily to mind for me, I wonder what parallel you’ve drawn between the two, and why. 🙂
This song is the culmination of everything Swans has striven for. Michael Gira has been single mindedly pursuing one idea for his entire career and this is it.
Thank you Melon. This was the craziest experience I've ever had with an album. And thank you to Michael Gira and all who contributed to this album, masterpiece.
Well, this is a screenshot for the ages. (sorry...) This is my first Swans song and I've been listening to it every day for a week straight. And as far as band introductions go, I think this is as best as it can get.

Thank you, Based Swans. I bought this album on CD a couple days ago, but my car stereo don't play it so good. Glad I can always come back to RUclips to listen!
I hadn't heard of Swans until I clicked on a review by The Melon. I'm so glad I gave this a listen. Also, as a bonus, Swans has a ton of other albums just waiting for me to listen to them. I love it.
If you haven't listened to them by now, I will warn you. The older stuff is the musical equivalent of being beaten with a lead pipe. And it's great for that reason.
Bro is really talking about No dream , No SLEEP , no suffering. I promised myself I would listen to this album in 1 sitting and it is currently 9:21 Pm. He really had to say that didn't he

He loves me.
some goth guy on Omegle told me to listen to this and specifically this album. I love.

Oh man, that bass, wow.
And that snare....
Yeahh !!
I genuinely believe that if Swans were more popular, their influence would be heard everywhere.
They don't need to be popular to influence artists I'm sure evry rock band from usa to russia heard this album
Theyve influenced a shit load of bands dude. Melvins, Godflesh (Broadrick in particular), Weakling, Black Flag, Black Midi, Tool, Neurosis(I think), Tom Morello
They're both popular, and have influenced a ton of artists and bands.
I genuinely believe that if something is popular, its influence is more pronounced
One of the members in Napalm Death (I don't remember which) mentioned Cop as a major influence
I like this song because it sits down and gets comfortable before it kills you.
That snare is so perfectly tuned
Clear as a bell and twice as snappy.
Absolutely love this snare sound. Feel like I don't hear it enough, cuz sometimes it just...hits.
St.Anger vibes
its the snare from every slam and goregrind track :D
