Yeah, it's not quite up to scratch with Soundtracks For the Blind in my opinion either. Soundtracks is probably the biggest headf
uck of an album I've ever heard, so this one had something to live up to.
Still love the new one to pieces all the same. As it stands, Swans have just nipped in ahead of Beach House, Grinderman and the Fall as far as the album of year goes.
