Those riffs are thicker than the band members themselves 😁

All jokes aside, I dug this album out of my archives from way back when and honestly, it’s not half bad. Most of the track titles feel like they're just trolling with cheap nods to Carcass or Cannibal Corpse, which is pretty typical for this specific corner of the scene—you'd call it pornogrind or goregrind if you wanted to be technical.

If anyone actually wants to hear it, I'll drop a few links here. 😁

I might just fix that tonight, thanks for the tip!

It’s a bit of a tear-jerker, but honestly, it's a masterpiece. I was damn near sobbing when I watched it, so don't blame me if I get all emotional about it. 😁

Lisa Davis46 said:Jason Mendoza, man, I absolutely love that movie and the soundtrack—I could honestly watch both over and over again.

I actually just sat down and watched 'Fearless' for the first time, the one with Jeff Bridges.
The whole thing blew me away; Weir’s direction is incredible, and the way they wrote Bridges' character was just spot on.
🙂

It’s classic Coen Brothers stuff, but easily my favorite of their filmography. From the score to the individual scenes, it's a masterpiece, especially with Walter Sobchak and those nihilists. That scene where he crosses out what Treehorn drew, only for this guy with a massive junk to pop up and get caught by the police chief? That’s hands down one of the funniest moments ever filmed. My only gripe is that the soundtrack could've used a little more Creedence Clearwater Revival.

As far as Jeff Bridges goes, 'The Big Lebowski' is obviously my top pick, but 'Crazy Heart' is a close second.

Alright, so one single soundtrack can actually do the trick:

The Big Lebowski - full vinyl soundtrack

Manifestations

Not too long ago, I’d hit the gym for a heavy session and then head straight to the court for some hoops. If I tried that kind of double header today, I’d end up in an ambulance on a stretcher rather than making the shot. 😁

The Sputnik box is just your run-of-the-mill, middle-of-the-road American average.
Before heading out in the morning, he just swallows a copy of USA Today
and suddenly those little daily setbacks don't sting quite as much.
The chaos at the service counter, the feeling of being belittled...

Dennis Martin6 said:Look, the point is clear, but I've always found lyrics pretty irrelevant. I usually just tune them out unless they're truly exceptional—like Leonard Cohen's early stuff—or absolutely disastrous, like this week's winner. With Swans, I don't even think about the lyrics because you can easily just ignore them entirely (Dylan falls into that category for me too, Nobel Prize notwithstanding). Honestly, try translating what Marvin is belting out into plain American slang; it’s basically some cheesy motivational poster reading, "the road is my truth and my life," and all that nonsense. 😁

That actually says a lot about the whole subgenre, doesn't it? If this is supposed to be avant-garde, 😁
it's a bit questionable.

I have to disagree with that. Lyrics actually matter when you're listening to Swans. They aren't necessarily literary masterpieces, but when paired with the music, they drive home a specific message. Take a track like "Use Sex for control Use Power for Power Use hate for Freedom Use money for cruelty"

"Use sex for control
Use power for power
Use hate for freedom
Use money for cruelty"

Or anything else on this record; it all works the same way. Even Wikipedia defines No Wave similarly, noting how it was essentially "Reacting against punk rock's recycling of rock and roll clichés, no wave musicians instead experimented with noise, dissonance and atonality in addition to a variety of non-rock genres while often reflecting an abrasive, confrontational, and nihilistic worldview."

It's kind of like industrial music then. Nobody was tuning in for the poetry; they were there to be pushed out of their comfort zones, which is exactly what the later Swans era does perfectly.

I first stumbled onto them back around '86 after hearing Igor Vidmar spinning Holy Money on Student Radio. I still remember how much that music messed with my head at the time. Then came '87, when Tiljak brought The Children of God to Off the Grid... though there were definitely some lighter, easier tracks that acted as a counterweight to those heavy hits.

I’ve listened to just about everything—grindcore, black metal, death metal in its most extreme forms—but nothing even comes close to early Swans.

It’s just so abrasive, intense, and repetitive in that primal way, almost like tribal music a shaman would play. It’s cathartic in a way that nothing else can touch. The whole point of this music is to release emotion; in this case, Gira lets it all out, creating this atmosphere of pure cleansing. It makes sense, because it's easy to explain today's world using terms like "Power for Power" which we find in these songs.

Anyway, I better stop rambling, otherwise I won't have anything left to say if this thread moves on too fast. 😁

I wanted something a little abrasive and cathartic to clear the air in this thread, and honestly, nothing does that better than Swans. I was originally leaning towards Godflesh, but I think I'll stick with Swans instead.

Annihilation of the Wicked

I’ve gotta put this forward as my official Album of the Week.

1914

Yeah, those Gorillaz guys. Back in the early 2000s, they were practically plastered on every single TV channel you could find; it was honestly exhausting. Look, I get why they were everywhere, but to me, it just felt incredibly bland and soulless. I never saw anything truly high-quality or deep in their stuff—it just felt like they were playing the same tired loop over and over. It’s not like we had YouTube back then to hunt down specific tracks; you were basically stuck at the mercy of whatever happened to be airing when you turned the TV on.😁

Black Metal

Carol Walker said:Look, during my brief stint on this thread, I’ve thrown out a pretty wild mix of albums—everything from Cooper and Golden Boy to Apparat and now HC. That’s just because my taste isn't stuck in one lane. Sometimes I’ll suggest a massive hit, and other times I’ll dig up something totally obscure. I listen to everyone from household names to artists you've probably never heard of.

Just suggest whatever you actually enjoy and can talk about for a second. If people vibe with it, great. Don't overthink it or stress about the rest.👍

For what it's worth, I've been pushing nothing but metal for the last month, and clearly, the crowd here isn't really feeling that vibe right now. Doesn't mean I'm stopping, though.😁
