Material / Sonic Youth producer Martin Bisi was really the wrong choice for the Swans. Here he's filling in gaps, leveling out the impacts, building a wall. The classic "evolutionary" stage Swans (Holy Money to the Skin side-projects) is untempered and explosive. Hard to listen to, indeed you may not need to hear them more than twice in a lifetime. But better than a wall.
