First release from SWANS after Michael Gira decided to revive the band in 2010. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound as great as most of their past material from the 1980s and 1990s. I'm also not the biggest fan of the newer Post-Rock direction that the music took, but it's still a decent release at the very least.
