Daily Release Picks:
Swans
The Beggar 2023
★★★★★★☆11 Dispassionate Atmospheric Exp Prog Post Rock/Independent
"The revolutionary cult group is still going (but this might be the last?). Seems to have mellowed from the harsh and grim extreme of some previous albums but still as boundary pushing in parts. Very long album, sadly the 40+ minute track not for me." (bartyMJ, ★★★★☆☆☆, )
"The lengthy Beggar Lover (Three) alone would make getting the album worthwhile if you don't have an attention deficit disorder, course you could just get that track but then you'd be missing out on other fine music." (Logan, ★★★★★★☆, )
★★★★★★★ Ominous Exp Prog Singer Songwriter/Rock
"A daunting experience! The 45+ minutes long track stands out here, it has a great flow to it. Would have been a nice album release in itself, but of course this is the Swans, and they have a lot more to say.
The entire album is exceptionally good - if you can tolerate (or acquire a taste for) the sprechgesang style vocals, which are often (deliberately) out of tune."
