Modern Swans is the peak imo.

it’s absolute madness to suggest the Children of God isn’t the best Swans record
and if there’s a distinction I’m gonna say Swans are post punk

I wouldn't even call the majority of their stuff post punk tbh, I've always been inclined to just call them experimental rock. Their last three albums were 100% post rock though.
Either way, Filth is clearly their magnum opus.

There’s really no good argument against that
I’m caught in the web of unassailability (aka mindfulness science)

I was really talking about **** like Explosions in the Sky. Non-crescendocore post-rock is exempt from my contempt.

Modern Swans is like 90% crescendo, 5% soft interludes, and 5% godawful lyrics though.

Barely listened to their post-80s **** tbh. No real reason that I can think of.

![]() I remember seeing this ad. It was the first time I had ever heard of the idea that just words could be a form of abuse. I knew that there was something wrong with how I was being raised but that really brought home how profoundly wrong. Not that it stopped at verbal abuse but that the verbal abuse was almost constant. I was called a “worthless piece of ****” more frequently than my name. On and on and on constant insults and yelling and threatening and belittling. I’m grateful to the people who made that ad because when I realized it was abnormal it took a lot of the power out of the abuse. It made me think “hey I’m not the loser you are” That was a great ad campaign. Those people ****ing reached me.
