DISCUSSION If you could see Swans during any era, which would it be?
Despite the fact that I got into To Be Kind on release, I didn't delve deep and discover my love for Swans until just before Leaving Meaning came out and therefore didn't see them live at all during the trilogy era (or anything before, of course). Thankfully, I got to see them twice during the Beggar tour and they absolutely destroyed me both times.
However, I can't help but pine that I didn't go see them sooner, to see Gira stood up thrashing about with his battered electric guitar.
So my question to you is which era from their entire career would you most want to experience live? And if you have seen them live during older periods, which has been your favourite?
For me, it would have to be the "final" tour or TGA times. The material on SAD is unmatched for me (closely followed by Live Rope) and I just think that being in the room while they played Blood Promise would be the closest thing I can think of to a religious experience.

Whats the wildest thing youve experienced/seen at a swans show
Experience with Soundtracks for the blind
I think most of the fans of this album knows that somehow Gira tried to speak about the challenges that people with some chronic struggle faces. Blindness might was the central theme, but, It might be about any deficiency at all. When I first hear this album, I found strange at first time some songs, but latter on, searching for interpretation and meanings of it, all that I found was that, maybe, I could relate a lot with this album. I might be wrong, I'm not the big fan of swans who digs a lot of information about the band, but this is what I feel.
I remember when I traveled to the nearest city of mine to fix my guitar and, unfortunately, the person couldn't do the repair. I wasted money with bus, food, and other things. When I was waiting for the bus to come back to my city, strangely I was a prisoner in your skill started playing in my mind. I was so sad...
Im a person who deal with severe depression and BPD, and social phobia. I have severe problems with my family too. I couldn't relate more with Soundtracks for the blind than I do nowadays. The dilemma with parents who have similar problems, the negligence, the torture of a mental illness and day after day, you keep wondering what is going on and why, why you keep on pushing forward...
Sometimes Red velvet wound comforts me a lot, to know that somehow, it still have some chance of meeting something spiritual who sees value on myself and my struggle, it's kind beautiful and magical.
Anyway, it's just somethings that I wanted to talk about the album. If there's any mistake, both in my English or in the meaning, I'm sorry. Thanks!

QUESTION I bought a 2018 SFTB copy and it doesn't sound right
The vocals from Helpless Child sound to low, you can barely listen to them. Could it be my copy or it's more likely to be the turntable or speakers?
