If you're excited and ready to head into this 118 minute affair (then you probably should've by now, honestly) be ready to not get another Seer or To Be Kind. It's a quiet record, compared to those two, embracing a more atmospheric mood and sound and less apocalypse doom end of the world guitar riffs. I'm enjoying it a lot, there's steam still up Michael Gira's ass, and proving to me this is the most natural progression a band came make after making two of the most behemoth records prior. I seriously was hoping this album wouldn't be just another Seer, or To Be Kind. Not saying those albums sound similar to me, they have obvious differences and whatnot, but The Glowing Man might end up being my favorite of the 21st Century lineup of Swans.
