As promised to Bob.

Swans - The Seer

Thought it started off a bit slow, and maybe found Lunacy leaning towards tackiness, thought it was a little patchy until the title track, which was an easy sell to me, and it improved by loads after that.

Disc 2 is pure ****ing gold.

I'm not great with double albums. I usually find them patchy, unnecessarily long, and full of filler, but I'm pleased with this. I am really surprised though, by how fast it's shot into the top 1000 on RYM. I wouldn't personally call it an instant classic, but it's got a lot of greatness to it.
