The great thing about this trilogy is that you can say that for any of the three and not shock anyone. They're all that good that it just comes down to personal preference.
It may be the closest to where Michael Gira was really trying to take this revived project all along. I don't know but I think of how he hated how the early band was typecast as heavy and loud. He was always as interested in being light as he was in being heavy or dark. And the silences were always as important as the loudness. So, perhaps the perfect Swans music should be something more of a blend - where the Seer and To Be Kind seemed to rely more on the characteristic heaviness than this.
As mentioned, it's almost a moot point comparing what is essentially a triptych, a work of art in three parts. You could say any album is your favourite and I wouldn't argue with you. But I agree with you, The Glowing Man is my favorite of them all. The highest highs juxtaposed amongst stillness and calm. Took years of listening for it to grow on me, To Be Kind is way more in-your-face and grabs you immediately, whereas this is a slow burner.
that melody could last for days, i wouldn't get tired of it. So catchy and melancholic, but warm and comforting at the same time. thank you Michael for these last three masterpieces, already have them in phisical copy. Please, keep the music coming, we love you too

2017: good song 2023: GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS is the first of the four missions of the VIOLENCE layer, and the first level of ACT III. It takes place in a giant marble labyrinth fencing the inner circles of the Violence layer. Major Areas Blanche Cemetery A cemetery, covered in a layer of either ash or snow. Many cross-shaped tombstones and four white trees stand next to the white path placed directly in front of the elevator, it leads straight to the Labyrinth. Labyrinth A big white building, with the entrance having a cross of Christ next to it on both sides. The interior is very reminiscent of the Developer Museum, using some of the same textures. When approaching the left door in the first hall, it shuts itself before you can enter, forcing the player to move on to the next room where several Mannequins stand seemingly motionless inside. That is, until you make the wrong move. In front of a closed door, an empty red skull pedestal is hidden under the floor, it rises up when approached. Once returned to the hall from which the player came from, the door leading to the cemetery will be shut as well, leaving the door which grants access to a book and button open. Pressing the button allows the player to enter the previously blocked off room, where a checkpoint can be activated. The interior is filled with many Mannequins in various poses and a Red Skull replacing the head of a praying Mannequin behind bars. After taking the skull and turning around, the player will be met with every Mannequin facing their way. These Mannequins do not attack, and allow the player to proceed through the level further. Final Page MOST TEXT: INCOMPREHENSIBLE. DISPLAYING FINAL PAGE: The unending halls of the Garden! Ah, so dutifully decorated by the cross, the symbol that angels use for the Tree of Life. They praise their beloved Father who had planted it and filled us with the dew of its leaves and the nectar of its fruit, that which gives us life, courses through our veins... For you however, our truth: Our bodies are not a vessel for the blood of the fruit, but its prison. The beautiful guts and gorgeous bone YEARN to be shown and seen! SPLAYED! Under the divine cross of the Tree of Life, we pay it tribute through the art of violence. THE WORLD IS YOUR CANVAS SO TAKE UP YOUR BRUSH AND PAINT THE WORLD R E D .
Of course it's a Swans reference. Classic Hakita.

Facts
Well I gotta thank hakita’s unending references for introducing me to the swans discography
Gotta appreciate Hakita for spreading the love but I feel bad for confused oldheads that wanna reminisce about their favorite songs in yt comments.
This is the best album in the trilogy. There I said it.

Haha, thank you! My love for Swans goes beyond the rational, though. Much of their appeal is difficult to explain to the uninitiated.

I love that it transitions exactly halfway through the song
like in kirsten supine!
@@alexisblais3995 kirsten supine has one of the best transitions in a song in atleast this century
and the transition is so good too
that melody could last for days, i wouldn't get tired of it. So catchy and melancholic, but warm and comforting at the same time.
thank you Michael for these last three masterpieces, already have them in phisical copy. Please, keep the music coming, we love you too
I think more than anything it has a creeping sinister undertone that is so hard to describe without listening
Dude that repeated mantra of "bury my mind" put me in such a deep trance!
Swans - The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black Lyrics:
[Verse 1: The World Looks Red]
Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog (Silver, na na, silver)
The weight of my body (Silver, na na, silver)
Is too much to bear (Silver, na na, silver)
The memory drains (Silver, na na, silver)
The life from a dog (Silver, na na, silver, silver, silver)
An ocean of insects (Silver, na na, silver)
Works like a sheet (Silver, na na, silver, silver, na na)
The immoveable fact (Silver, na na, silver, silver)
Buries my mind (Silver, na na, silver, silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
In a horse-hair coat (Silver, na na, silver, silver)
In a pile (Silver, na na, silver)
On the floor (Silver, na na)
On the floor (Silver, na na)
On the floor (Silver, silver, na na, silver)
Bury my mind
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Mother bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Mother bury my mind, bury bury my mind
Bury bury my mind, bury bury my mind
Bury bury my mind, bury bury my-

Its ULTRAKILLin' time
Innocent Question, how does Ultrakill relate to this?
@@holynarwhale8729songs from 7-1 are called the world looks white/the world looks red, which references to the title of this song
The part where the World looks black starts... Glorious
7:14
Yeah
I was just recently introduced to SWANS' music and am falling in love with their songs... It's a good feeling. Better late than never!
i really really like this album
I'm still in awe that people made this
The instrumental is soooooo good.
This is absolutely one of the grooviest songs I've ever heard. I can't stop dancing!
Just realized the total length of the track and the transition point are based around multiples of 7
The album cover also kind of looks like a 7.
Holy shit, you guys are onto something.
Not only that, but the piano melody at the beginning is in 7/4 time

11:50 on is otherworldly
The World is about to look White...
This is my kingdom come

At the love show, I love how they melded this melody with the lyrics from Some Things We Do.
Here before Ultrakill act 3
Holy God, the last 3 minutes just give me chills.

Sonic youth cover, mad respect.
M. Gira wrote the original lyrics, Thurston just got from his typewriter borrowed, according to the Swans doc from 2018.
Bros were homies back when Gira was dating Madonna

I like reminisence sound to Lou reed 🤜🤛❤️
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that 😂, he also reminds me of Iggy Pop
No! I love you. And, no, I discovered Swans NOT on UA-cam.
This is great, but imo Sonic Youth's manic original is far better
GR Rich true. I can’t get that Lee Ranaldo guitar sound out of my head.
Ehhh...
Truuue
I personally prefer this version
Also fun fact: Michael Gira was the original writer of the song
both are just mind blowing
1:34 brown sus 😳
can’t believe this fraud would copy Hakita
la wea fome. nada nuevo si es swans.
swans es mejor que coil
