What is the single greatest swans track?

While The Seer isn't my favorite release(real close, though) and it isn't my favorite track (also real close), I always point to the 'The Apostate.'
It perfectly encapsulates what this incarnation of Swans is "all about," and does an immaculate job of it.

That one where the guy cant use a fork

Nothing after 1998 that's for sure

This or the live version of I Crawled from Swans Are Dead

The Apostate is fucking insane. Easily my favorite Swans song.

The Sound is a close second.

Volcano's up there

The Sound is the best song Gira has ever made.

>MOOOOOTHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

love will save you

I'm not a human!
>AHAHAHAHAH

Great fucking track

Lunacy

*Still

>8:50 on

Can't fucking choose.

Feel Happiness

Swans are Dead is honestly their best album desu.

Don't know why it's not more widely recognized.

Objectively this

Live albums often go unnoticed because people assume they bring nothing new.

Money is Flesh (#2) off of Holy Money

Prisoners in your skull

This is pretty great too

>not using the alt covers

what are they?

Absolutely this

Do you want all of them?
I can make a download link for you.

Oxygen

YOUR NAME IS KEK

God Damn the Sun, anyone?

Blood Promise from Swans Are Dead.

>8:50 on
Literally this.

underrated

you're a saint, i love you man

strong contenders
good contenders

Underrated

absolutely devastating performance

I love how there's almost no disagreement anywhere in this thread. like, everyone mutually agrees that most of the Swans discography is phenomenal

Blind, lyrics never hit so hard

someone should send this to Gira
He might appreciate them

the gate and white light are great

>as soon as money is flesh starts

The Seer is my favorite from them, with () being a close runner up.

The Seer is just so addictive and evil sounding, the way it breaks down hitting that same chord for like 10 minutes and then around the 19 minute mark it begins to form a coherent rhythm/groove. Literally one of my favorite moments in music ever.

shut up faggot I don't agree with because in my opinion the studio version on SFTB is much better.

YOUR NAME IS FUCK

Toussaint Louvertoure or whatever it is called is surprisingly addictive to listen to. The Cloud of Forgetting/Unknowing duo is also pretty fucking neat. Though as some other guy stated, The Apostate might be the best thing I heard from them. Those bells are unbelievable.

bump

fuck off

Apostate, although The Seer is very close.
BUT the Cloud of Unknowing is extremely good too

i thought i was the only one

and this world it shows

BRING THE SUN
(suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun)

Real Love

I made these, except The Glowing Man one. I made these for The glowing Man, but no one seemed to like them.

2nd Version

I love you, man
Can you add a circle to that cover?
Also, there are some live albums and EPs you didn't do and I would be really happy if you did covers for them.
Obviously, you could create a new thread to post them.

fpbp

>but no one seemed to like them.
They are posted a lot in Alt-Covers threads. Just put pic related in the archive and you will see.
Also, seconding what said.

helpless child
coward
the glowing man
killing for company
to be kind
half life

also avatar is underrated

All lined up

Blind

Fucking this
I also have a huge soft spot for Fan's Lament, it's a filler track, but it distills the few albums before SFTB perfectly

Pretty sure that's the last song they played during their final tour date before they broke up.

Context makes it even better for me.
