Day 40
Swans - The Seer
So The Seer is an absolutely massive work of an album, and one that isn't meant to be gone into without the correct state of mind. The state of mind first needs you to have nothing going on for the next two hours, secondly you have to know what kind of music your getting yourself into. THIS IS NOT A POP ALBUM. If you go into The Seer expecting something catchy you're going to be dissapointed, you need to have the mindset of this album being a journey that only you can undertake, and once you do can help others along their expedition into the unknown. An album that is a beautiful yet masturbatory ride might astound you, it might sicken you, and unfortunately will leave most people bored. But using some of the tools I mentioned can make your expirience not only enjoyable, but downright amazing and wonderous.
