On the Belgium charts, superstar Swans’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. John Digester has compared writing for Swans’s new album to that on ‘Greed / Holy Money’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Lead single “Time Is Money (Bastard)” and “Money Is Flesh” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Exciting stuff.
When listening to Money Is Flesh, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Another You is one of the coolest songs Swans has ever recorded. Blackmail is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. A Screw (Holy Money) is the albums biggest surprise. Fool is simple, dignified and effective, Swans refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. In Stupid Child the music gets its power. In Anything For You Swans is at his best. Nobody gets you up and jumping. A Screw is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Heaven - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Coward is beautiful, yet underrated track. A Hanging - A classic Swans track. You Need Me is cool and different song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.
