I'm finally revisiting Soundtracks for the Blind. It's not my favourite album, but I think it's very special and unique. The album elicits an emotion that I've never really been able to describe. At various points it's terrifying, depressing, and melancholy. One thing I can say for certain is I don't think there will ever be an album like this one again.
So Yea Forums, I want to know about your thoughts and experiences with this album. Also, what are your favourite tracks?
Its the peak of music
Oh no, another "master /core/ piece" that makes you "feel" something, thanks for confirming this is another subjective garbage album that faggots with repression of emotions listen.
Based retard
Mega-ultra-retard in the thread!
Haha me different, me no liek yuo. Me leki big boy thing
>LOL RETARD
K, go ahead, bandwaggons.
Nigger taste. listen this instead
Not even in their top 5 lol
Suck a fart out of my balls
To Be Kind is great too but it scratches a different itch.
>listen to this watered down pop album that’s 15 minutes longer with a fraction of the ideas
TBK is okay but if you actually think nu-Swans is better you’ve just lured yourself as a certified real life plebian
outed *
nu-Swans is still pretty damn impressive. Especially in the current musical landscape.
swans' best album and my favorite album as well.
best tracks imo are Red Velvet Corridor, Helpless Child, The Beautiful Days and Minus Something.
lmao, The Seer is a lot better than TBK
Nice to see Red Velvet Corridor get some love. I also actually really like Red Velvet Wound. I often listen to SFTB with an intermission halfway through. So both of these tracks are really effective openers that suck me into this album's strange world.
>That older guy who can see- straight- through your bullshit, and calls you out on your faults in such a way that it catches you off guard and can't BS around it. You actually admire the guy because he knows you better than you know yourself, so you bring him an olive branch, but he spits in your face.
>You have no idea why he hates you
>You wish you could be his sycophant, but he hates you too much
Soundtracks for the Blind
Are you stupid? This album is acclaimed by most critics. Why would you ever assume widely known good album is garbage without listening?
animus makes me cry every time
I've always felt far more coming from Swans are Dead, It feels like the most magnanimous and sorrowful goodbye, and the spirit of the live recordings is genuinely moving
Based, The Seer is excellent
I don't know why SFTB gets all the love but stuff like The Great Annihilator and Drainland are completely overlooked in comparison, both of those albums listened back to back is a more enjoyable and strangely cohesive experience than Soundtracks by a long shot, people who rate Soundtracks as their best has made that opinion in the 90s and never changed it even thought most of their discography is more consistently well made and moving
Based and fucking redpilled. This man speaks the truth.
no you're just mentally handicapped
It's definitely a unique listen. I remember listening to it once at night, lying in my bed with the lights off. It was almost a religious experience.
Favourite tracks gotta be the Helpless Child, Yum-Yab Killers, and Blood Section.
>implying anyone here listened to Swans in the 90s
