Holy fuck I haven't been excited for an album release this entire year but it's looking like AOTD, and only 45 days till it's out.
Have you been listening to Gira's catalogue of music in preparation?
Kristof Hahn on lap steel again

Who is Jennifer Gira?
Jayden Allen
Michaels wife
Brayden Garcia
Michael's wife and an excellent vocalist as seen from When Will I Return? on The Glowing Man

>Jarboe is not on board
>guest female singers

Don't get your hopes too high user, "My Father.." will remain the best nu-swans album. This is gonna be just another boring jam session with a different lineup
Nathaniel Howard
>He fell for the Jarboe meme
>He actually thinks My Father is the best of nu-swans
>A double album is a bad thing at all
Haven't laughed this hard in a while user, please give your reasoning to why in hell Jarboe is a great or even good vocalist besides adding ""mood"" to songs or I'll need to check you into a psychiatric ward
Angel Diaz
Go listen to Omniscience or even Children Of God and then call Jarboe a meme, she was crucial to what they became and if she didn't join the band they would've ended up as a generic metal band (Mike stated this a lot in old interviews)
>He actually thinks My Father is the best of nu-swans
It is, because it has actual songs, if you knew anything about Swans besides what Yea Forums tells you is that their studio albums and live shows where intentionally the opposite and it worked. Seen then live right after the comeback and it was mindblowing how they treated those songs. Saw them again in the TGM tour and was bored to tears, it just felt like listening to the album
>A double album is a bad thing at all
What is filler? Also, 4th double album in a row. Mike needs to start cutting the fat at this point.
Also, the single sucked
Andrew Johnson
Crucial to what they became ≠ good. Norman Westberg was a far better and more influential member of the band, plus with signing onto the label and making The Burning World is what made Gira want to change the sound of the band, without Jarboe The Burning World would've been a generic metal album and Gira wouldn't have liked it, and experimented further to try and take the band to a different place,
Again, influential ≠ good
>My Father has actual songs
What is: When Will I Return? Song For A Warrior, The Daughter Brings The Water ect.
The TGM tour was rough and Gira has admitted that on several accounts, several songs just didn't work live and this is why they're further changing their sound, they were trying to play The World Looks Red/The World Looks Black but it never worked and they eventually gave up, and that turned into the song Deliquescing off of Deliquescence which is also a basis of what the next incarnation of the band is going to sound like.
>Mike needs to start cutting the fat at this point
Just call him Michael Or Gira dammit, anyways, there's nothing wrong with a double album, there's always been a reason for the album being long, with The Seer it's because Gira wanted it to be exhausting, with TBK it's because there was enough content in the works, plus side A and side B are different enough to be two different albums, and The Glowing Man feels like a journey of themes with a grand payoff
>Also, the single sucked
You like Swans for different reasons than the people excited for them, you should just keep listening to your favorites because Swans is going to be moving forward, never back.
Listen to Deliquescence and tell me any of that is filler with zero effort put into it, they don't need Jarboe to still innovate and make incredibly powerful music

Samuel Rivera
It's objectively better than literally every Jarboe song, and a good, calming track before the madness of Avatar starts, if you're getting pleb filtered by FUCKING KAREN O, something's actually wrong with your ears
Implying BDSM wouldn't make The Grateful Dead 200x more based, although 200x zero is still zero
Point is you have either a highly low attention span, are a fan of metalcore, or have just generally poor taste if you can't appreciate the sheer amount of time it take to rehearse and write a song like Frankie M, The Knot or Bring The Sun while it still sounding more intense than 70% of modern "intense" bands today.
Also Gira is 65 and making music as if he's 20, if nothing else is incredible, that is.

>if you're getting pleb filtered by FUCKING KAREN O, something's actually wrong with your ears
Triggered much? Didn't know who was singing until after I heard it and dont give a fuck about Karen O. It's just a shit song that wouldn't make the cut in an Angels Of Light album and the whinny vocals just make it far worse
But no point on reasoning with such a fanboy, if you fap to your autographed vinyl set when you get it post pics pls

Ever hear about this dude Lemmy and his band Motorhead?
Not the user you're replying to, it was alright but too predictable, was hyped for the first half but lost interest by the end desu

I have none of those things. Of course it takes a long time, the songs are like 45 minutes fucking long, but they're only like 4 or 5 parts total, so really, it would not take long at all with proficient musicians. You just follow the lead on when to switch to the next part. That's it. Not fucking hard.
>Also Gira is 65 and making music as if he's 20, if nothing else is incredible, that is.
It's pathetic and sad that he hasn't evolved beyond his 20 year old self, honestly.

The double-disc To Be Kind (Young God, 2014) does not fully redeem the generic mediocrity of Seer but at least scales down the pomp or infuses it with more real deas. Nonetheless, the Swans remain unrecognizable (note for the younger generations: no, your parents were not listening to this "stuff", they were listening to Filth and Cop, much darker "stuff").
