Very Happy
My second favorite Swans album (just behind TBK) Has a lot of emotions and is an intense ride, they do every style on here well. Favorite track is "The Sound"

One of the their best, along with Children of God and Holy Money. I don't get the urge to listen to Swans too much these days, but this is still one of my favorites of the 90s.

I don't think that either The Seer or To Be Kind has topped this.Even if those albums might be better,the long draining epic concept was originally done on Soundtracks,after their reunion and the lackluster My Father Will Guide Me To A Rope,Swans decided to to harken back to what they did best and basically did another Soundtracks For The Blind concept wise.Musically,and lyrically these 3 are different beasts though.
