Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Swans make their grandest statement yet....Guitar noise is leader Michael Gira's reigning mistress...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Within its 150-plus minutes, Gira pushes at his every musical frontier, from flat-out skronk, to beatific country-folk, and many unspeakable points between.", "Blending disgruntled noise-rock, fragile acoustic balladry, terrifying post-rock grooves and strange experimentation -- more or less every sound Swans have previously attempted over the past 30 years -- into one of the year’s most divisive (and unique) listening experiences."
