I'm no Swans diehard. Got to know their music through their latest releases. This is the greatest piece of rock music ever for me. It has everything.. it decomposes, rebuilds. The pacing is unbelievable. The guitars. The fucking weirdo vocals and incestual mother of the world vibe. Macho rock music built up to the clouds before it comes crashing down.
