radiatorhums Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It feels like a step towards his Angels of Light stuff. God Damn the Sun is one of my favorite Swans songs. That and Jane Mary are the real standouts for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I got a shipping notice but it is being sent to a completely different address in a different state. It says my name on it but with an address I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I also got my shipping notification though its being shipped to me. Thats super strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I checked my order confirmation and I used my correct address when I ordered. I shot them an email so no big deal. It should get resolved and I am in no hurry to recieve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Would love some comments on both of the represses! Sound, packaging, etc... I got mine in on Monday, but haven't had time to listen to it. I plan on listening to at least one of the albums this weekend, I'll give my thoughts.

Twistedshabazz Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I also got the deluxe box in on monday but have had zero chance to listen. It looks cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedunknown Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 They seem as good as the Filth reissue. LoL doesn't have No Cure for the Lonely, but you can tell sound quality would have been sacrificed if they had squeezed it in. It also has a picture sleeve instead of the nice poly ones that Filth and White Light have for some reason. White Light is also mastered a good bit louder than LoL, probably due to the side length differences. I wish the box set had come with the cd insert with the extra art, and LoL could have possibly stood to have been spread to 2LP. I'm happy with how everything turned out nonetheless.

It doesn't have No Cure + it isn't on two discs because they wanted to be very faithful to the OGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just got mine. The box itself is around 2x the size of the original version. Probably won't listen to it for a while but I've been more than pleased with the reissues so far and i really can't wait for GA and SFTB.

Guest Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Mine was delivered to a random person in Chicago yesterday and Young God still haven't emailed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but with White Light they're already adding a track as well as varying several tracks by 30 secs to 1 min. It was just a small critique of what I thought would have made the reissues perfect to me. Like I said, I think it turned out great. I'm really happy to have them.

Derek™ Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Ugh, this is really starting to piss me off actually. The frustration is justified on your end. I have no doubt that YG will do everything they can to make it right, but the lack of a response is kind of perplexing – they've always been on the ball with getting back to any message I've ever written them.

Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'll cut them some slack until the holidays are over then will probably file a Paypal claim. I doubt they have that big of a staff over there. Now I'm worried about my Swans 3xLP + DVD making it here next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least up until a couple years ago Gira would actually respond himself to emails sent to YGR. I'm sure that has changed now but yeah maybe 1 or 2 people helping.

You emailed them on a Friday and are upset you dont have a response on a Sunday the week before the biggest holiday of the year??????? Might want to check your expectations. museummouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I have been emailing them for nearly a month but thanks for your input, dick. Edit: well less than a month but having no communication is a bummer. Like I said, I am cutting them some slack, so calm yourself. I did say waiting until after the holidays because I understand...Learn to read perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I didn'r wake up today on a Sunday expecting an email back. I woke up a bit frustrated remembering all of this and was venting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet tough guyThis release street date was a week ago and according to you it was delivered to someone else on friday but yet you have been emailing them for a month? Totally makes sense Edit: drama queen emailed them on Dec 7th so might need a calendar to see what a month is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm so grateful they reissued these albums, I use to loathe this era of Swans and Jarboe. I have reacquainted myself with these records at a point in my life where they are FUCKING ME UP Also, including Blind on the reissue is the biggest gamechanger. Love at first listen.
