      I love it, as well +theneedledrop, solid review. I am super stoked to see them perform soon in BK, March 22.
      My take on the opener is that the concept is a character legitimizing killing their child. The litany of "no's" refer to all the things the child will not have to endure because they will not exist after they obey the command to "Come, child," and lose all. That's my take on it, anyway.
      As ridiculously heavy as the content and instrumentation is here (but hey! It is a SWANS record, duh!), I am repeatedly gobsmacked by the brilliance and snarl that builds and builds and builds over the whole lp. The balance between grace and raw unadulterated power leaves me breathless, and simultaneously, highly inspired to go create.

      It did for mine because what I heard was so creative, expiremental and boundary pushing, that it brought out my own creativity as a person, add that with To Pimp A Butterfly which also changed me a lot.

    • @mybloodyboognish

    Speaking of David Lynch, Toussaint L'Ouverture really reminds me of the Club Silencio scene in Mulholland Drive, I keep expecting Gira to shout 'NO HAY BANDA!' haha.
    I wasn't sure if I was feeling a 10 for this at first, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't as much stylistic variety as on The Seer but the more I listen the more it's opening up to me and I think I'm starting to prefer it. It's so fun to get lost in the rhythms of this album, and Gira's vocals sit brilliantly over the top of them, he sounds like a crazy pastor. Fantastic stuff.
