Karen O doesn’t really bother me… yeah, its probably my least favorite song on the album, but it’s not enough for me to dislike. I don’t think Jarboe would’ve made any difference to that song. Which she would’ve been a little more up front though, even if she’s just a guest.
I don’t think Jarboe’s voice would work for that song.
Cut 10 minutes from the mid section of The Seer.
Cut 10 minutes from the section of The Apostate.
Replace that 20 minutes with “songs” - songs worthy of Swans of old.
There you have yrself a 5 star album, mister.
As it stands…I’d say it falls just short of a 4 star album.
Sorry to bump the thread but this is Swans and there should be up to the minute reports on their activities unlike some twits you guys idolize (KILLING JOKE)

I’m leaning in the direction of saying nothing will top The Seer for the year, unless Neurosis pull out all the stops with their new one next month.

Better Killing Joke than horrible crap like Soundgarden which you seem to be pretty gay for.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Seriously though, Swans kicks everybody’s ass.

Sure, early Killing Joke is indispensible and all, but I’d rather new Soundgarden then the horrible shit that Killing Joke have been spewing out since the late 90’s.
heh. I like Killing Joke, Swans & Soundgarden, whatever. The first cut off the new Neurosis is getting some spins on NPR, sounds solid as well.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Please do not come and DJ in my town.
To be honest I don’t really bother with Killing Joke without the original members…but the last two KJ albums over the last few years well and truly POON all the banal grunge that Soundgarden has released.
Even KJ’s lame 80s pop albums and 90s heavy metal ones sound like Mozart compared to Chris Cornell’s heavy metal band.
Soundgarden was created for teenage girls & boys who were too sissy to handle Melvins.

I like Killing Joke, Swans, Soundgarden, and Neurosis too.
We should hang out.

I hate Soundgarden. They are for sissy folk and 14yr old girls so we can’t be friends I’m afraid.
Hey, I was going to post this devastating new dubstep album I heard, but it turns out it was just a recording of explosive diarrhea in a metal toilet.

So what you’re saying is Korn & Skrillix produced the new Soundgarden album? waka waka waka
Forget the “step”…I’ll have Dub instead.
TAD!!!
Ladies, can’t fans of Swans, Soundgarden, and (yes) KJ come together? I’m a fan of all, this isn’t high school.
No…we can’t have sissy bands like Soundgarden intermingling with bad-ass bands like Swans & Killing Joke…it could taint the bad-ass-ness of the bad-ass bands and their highly intellectual, bad-ass and extremely good looking fans.
Man, if you can’t get into “Slaves And Bulldozers” or “Fourth of July” there’s just no hope for you.

Why would I want to listen to sissy songs like that with one of the most nauseating vocalists on the planet when I could just listen to a Swans or Killing Joke record? [:/]
Or even better I could just slam on Black Monk Time and crank it to 11.
I like Soundgarden. But if they were ever in a room with KJ or SWANS (no matter what version), they would be destroyed in mere seconds. Fact.
