Cover Art: 10/10
Sound Quality: 9/10 (Finally, Peace. abruptly cuts but nevermind)
Packaging: 10/10 (it's a trifold)
Total: 9/10 (The Seer, To Be Kind & The Glowing Man are Swans' great Masterpieces). -
No need to say that this is a brilliant and fantastic album. I own the CD and vinyl versions. I wonder about track list on vinyl - same as on CD - and imo it's a little bit annoying when these good & long songs stop, then turn the vinyl and go further. Also the wonderful last track "Finally, Peace" stop abrupt.
Ok, it's the artist choice how they doing - I respect! -
Bought 2 of these (new) and both have been very poppy and came covered in tiny scratches. Not sure if it's the pressing but both are unbearable. Such a shame for such a lovely album.
-
For anyone looking at this the pressing is great and free from pops and clicks. After To be Kind this is my favourite Swans album.
