Non Metal Now Listening

[Carnage]

I think it's mighty. An anomoly in their back catalogue for sure but good nonetheless. They've changed their sound so many times over the years that their appeal would have to vary as well. Their earliest stuff is my least favourite, it's only recently that I've found it at all listenable but probably not enough to shell out for it.

And confusion ensued. I was on about QotSA

Haven't listened to the Swans album.

[OpenSores]

It might explain the increasing campness. A midlife/post-illness crisis maybe?

First three albums are great, maybe three songs from the fourth one but I haven't liked anything I've heard from them since.

Swans: Forever Burned

The Burning World plus a few random tracks from around that time, all hut disowned by the band themselves.. Fairly straightforward by their standards, their most accessible album for sure but still dripping in nihilism and misanthropy. Long out of print, along with the original album. A notable but now quite expensive gap in my collection.

Re. Burning World I bought it on cassette. I love the album regardless. Still give it a lash now and again.
