This is one of my favourite albums of all time. I guess I'm one of those people who LOVE the music, the tones, the voice, the ambiance. Saw them live in Philly way back in the early 2000's or was it the late 1999's... anyway, I sold my car with "Visualize Total Annihilation" as the bumper sticker. White Ford LTD, 1984. So if you see it, honk and remember THE SWANS!

Sorry if some people don't get this album, but Swans at their best are the best, and this is their best. I know they commit the sins of self-indulgence and self-absorption like no one else in music, but when they nail the point just so, they nail it like no one else, and some embarrassing purple prose is a small price to pay for such rapture. If you don't want to listen to "Helpless Child", all fifteen minutes plus of it, at least ten times in a row, then I guess you just ain't feeling it. So move on and leave room for the rest of us!

Amazon do it good. I had some problems with thw delivery, but I've got the item and Amazon's stuff helped me in a very gentle way. It's a professional service.

When I was first introduced to the Swans, I was blown away by their grasp on the beautiful and the errie. My introduction was The Great Annihilator, which still holds a special place in my heart for it's pure grime and sludge of accoustic terror. But, on a limb I grabbed this up, which I was told wasn't that good, and was the Swans' last disc. Who ever told me that, obviously didn't hear "Helpless Child", a haunting song which makes you feel that you could possibly be at the end of your rope. The Swans' last stand is as mighty as any. It's true a few tracks are a bit long, but besides that, a great effort and a great way to end a carreer.
