8:20 - 14:30 Jesus Christ, this was like being on a rollercoaster that slowly climbs to the top. And JUST when you think it’s reached it’s peak it just keeps getting higher and higher and higher…

This ultimately made me rethink of Kayo Dots Marathon as the best song ever made. I might actually be wrong this masterpiece of a track destroys your inner self while filling it with an energy rarely ever heard outside of the best of the best bands.
i introduced this song to my ex-gf because we did this thing were we take turns playing our 5 favorite albums for each other to get a sense of each other's taste, here's her comments: 0-3:40 minutes "is this song ever gonna go anywhere??? what? it's 30min? wtf" 4:00- "is he ever gonna say actual lyrics? what is he saying? is this even rock?" 5:19 - 8:30 "wtf is he mumbling? is he just saying "im a man he's a man?" i thought you said these guys were artsy or watever" 9:00 - end "i dont like this. it sounds like the apocalypse" [turns off song before the second half] "okay my turn time for STRFKR"
shallowness is ultimately subjective and the fact that your take isnt nuanced enough to take that into consideration -- not to mention the fact that you dont even know the bitch -- before calling her shallow based solely on your own personal definition of shallowness is shallow in itself my nigga
It's a bit of a stretch but I always interpreted the whole album as a reflection on how having a child will both completely change you as a person and your relationship with others. Hence the album cover being a child.
I don't understand why this wasn't on a separate track, especially as "Bring the Sun" is an absolute masterpiece IMO, with its monumental build-up and groovy rhythm. The second half "Toussaint L'Ouverture", on the other hand is just 15min+ of nothingness, and random spoken word...
I mean, I guess. They're the same band that put a dance on an album full of depressing drones and crescendos and eerie vocal samples. Either way, I think oxygen is a great song off the album. But that's my opinion, and I see you have yours.
Felix T-Rex coldplay ain't even that good. If you want some real, masterly crafted, experimental music, look up this really underground, underrated band called maroon 5.

The rollercoaster never drops and instead launches you into the sun.

DARK SOOOOOOOULS
This song is fucking incredible.
When the nukes start flying, I'm gonna blast this at full volume.
This summarizes what I feel with this song perfectly
the opportune moment might be heading our way now
hah, exactly what I was thinking
Sweet... You will be in good company... Paz y amor
I love the smell of napalm and the sound of Swans in the morning.
This is the closest music has ever gotten to making you feel like you’re ascending to heaven
I'd say there's both heaven and hell in this song. It's truly unbelievably intense
And you slowly realise the light of Heaven burns like the fires of Hell.
listen to gy!be
@@thiweygulber3138 that comment was very appropriate for Swans👍
The song that had that affect on me was the very last like 5 minutes of Godspeed You Black Emperor’s Lift Yr Skinny Fists
It would be so amazing if Swans scored mad max

I always think of blood meridian
I think we all needed this tonight.
Time is relative \o/

This seriously makes me get goosebumps
Feeling like I could beat the sun in a 1v1 match with this on the background.
Almost as good as Imagine Dragons! nice song
Almost. Not quite that level of greatness though
This song is power
This track was such a great listening experience in high school
BRING THE FIRE BRING THE FLAMEBRING THE SUN
Proper trance music!
For real. This music is like being put under a hypnosis. It just sucks your mind right in!

@@bunnyfeet123 It's probably way more abstract and metaphysical than that, but it's probably related :o
@@bunnyfeet123 I didn't get that at all. I always took it as the corruption of innocence.

Hugh Tiley It's spanish...
Andrei Tarkovsky that's French dude not Spanish lol
LightOurFire Of course it is. Get your facts straight before you disagree with a Spanish speaker about spanish!
Andrei Tarkovsky k thought you were talking about the title, the lyrics are both in Spanish and French
LightOurFire Yeah, it's a mix of French and Spanish. He even yells the French motto "Liberté. Egalité. Fraternité."
I don't get how Swans can produce a masterpiece like this, then on the very same album make a fucking horrendous shitpot of noise like Oxygen
I mean, I guess.
They're the same band that put a dance on an album full of depressing drones and crescendos and eerie vocal samples.
Either way, I think oxygen is a great song off the album. But that's my opinion, and I see you have yours.

This music is almost as good as Coldplay

Maroon 5 are too commercial sounding for me. I like more edgy stuff like Coldplay... Chris Martin is such an underated punk god.
Felix T-Rex nah man I prefer the edgiest and most underground of them all smash mouth
