This album and its companion piece, “ We Rose from Your Bed with the Sun in Our Head” show us the evolution in the songwriting process of this album. The live album makes me appreciate where the songs began and what they would become in this record.

After much thought, I think it's this album that I love the most out of the "trilogy". While TBK and especially TGW definitely evolve the songwriting further and eventually master it to its logical conclusion, this one feels like the most creative and dedicated to its concepts, which to me makes it a more cinematic experience than the other two. It's the only one of the three where I feel I always want to hear the entire thing, just from how much of a fucking adventure it is.

The swans album I struggled the most to get into, but one of the most rewarding in their catalogue

I just realised today that on Spotify a least played song from this album is The Apostate (btw it's wrongly tagged there as Apostate), and that's really surprising. I know that you can see same pattern for most of the records where amount of listeners decreases with progress of the album, but in particular in this case it's like missing best part of the whole journey. Pardon my language, but it's like great sex without an orgasm.

This was the best swans album. But that’s the beauty of swans. Every album can be their best, they are just that fucking good. Tbk, seer and filth are my favorites

couldn't have said it better myself. TBK has a much more "colorful" groove to it, but this has so much more of a darker, borderline occult feel to it that i appreciate a lot more, even if it means waiting longer through songs like The Seer or A Piece of the Sky. i'm constantly debating choosing which i like more, because it all comes down to my mood. if i want something more easy to listen to, i go for TBK, but if i want something to really chow down into, i go for Seer.

TBK is generally regarded as the best of Swans' new trilogy of albums, but this one's definitely my favorite. Feels like the most conceptually united and has the most interesting/varied tracklist to boot. There are so many weird twists and turns on this thing, and many, many incredible tracks. Also, 'A Piece of the Sky' is a fucking experience.

Or get two hours off, pick your most comfortable pair of shoes, pick the best headphones for an outdoor walk you have, choose a piece of landscape or cityscape you've never seen, go there. play the album.
