Basically, early stuff is really abrasive and primitive art rock that sounds for all the world like extreme doom metal. Not in the death metal sense, but it's just so amusical that it's as abrasive as a lot of death metal.
You'll hate this, probably in the same way you didn't like Thorr's Hammer.
I'm not that up on later Swans, but it was even more different from early Swans as early, black metal-era Bathory is to Viking metal, Hammerheart-era Bathory. So, don't let early Swans in any way color your view of what the other MB members are trying to recommend to you.
