Second listen classic. Quietly one of the most well thought-out and haunting works of Gira's career. If Leaving Meaning was Gira calmly accepting his death, this is his impatient begging for it to come. He's had enough.

The title track is too good, I love how subdued its atmosphere js

Yeah Leaving Meaning title track is one of the few total winners on that record for sure.

It's been a while since I listened in full but I can't remember much hooking me about it, I'll definitely give it another shot
Greed is definitely my least tho, I feel like Holy Money improves on it a lot

sound of freedom is in my top 5 swans songs but I admit other than that and title track its not super remarkable. still maybe not so down there but its alright
The Deliquescence version of The Glowing Man is incredible. May be top 3 live swans ever.
The Beggar keeps getting better with every listen. went ahead and preordered the signed cd
I wasn't actually into this very much, people seem to be loving it though, I'll definitely give it another shot
Genuinely made me think about my mortality and how strange it is to have a mind and an imagination though, really ruminative music

Already sounding better on a second listen let's go
