Free Music Notes for Great AnnihilatorFree Music Review: one terrific album Hit: 4 Stars
In this later chapter in the Swans career you see Gira and Jarboe getting a pace that had not had for some years. In the Great Annihilator Swans rock quite a bit faster then a previous years.. less sensual and elegant yet never lacking in expression. "Mothers Milk" however reminds us and lets us know the ethereal gorgeousness of former albums has not gone anywhere. Many style of music peak thier heads into the Swans entire career but never stand alone. The music of this album however is tinged more then past efforts with great accesability.The safest bet for new comers to Swans would deffinately be this album, "Various Failures" and "Children of God, World of Skin" Thier greatest albums still need to be reprinted desperately... Look them up if you want a great big fat tease!
Free Music Review: i agree Hit: 4 Stars
long-time swans fan, here. i agree w/the good reviews here. an ambient record, different.
Free Music Review: good...but... Hit: 3 Stars
I just bought this after all the hype and 5 stars on amazon. I just listened to this 4 times in a row and it is good, not great. The reason for only three stars is that I have all of the Dead Can Dance from 1983-1996. The Swans sound like an angry DCD and the music and vocals are no where near as good. I could tell you 5 different albums to buy fron DCD that are better than this but I won't bother. If you don't know then you never will. If you want beauty, buy DCD. If you want anger, buy Slayer. They do a much better job.
