I haven't read all the other new comments yet, but if Gira put these guys together and called it Hens or Roosters or something, would we have a somewhat different debate? Or if this was a bunch of old fuckers releasing their first music. Theoretical I know, but for me the criteria is: Is it great music or isn't it? The destination, not the journey.

I think that is a fair assessment, and really, in calling this permutation "Swans" I think Gira is asserting is ownership on the Swans art of the past, so its fair for long-time Swans fans to critique it, yet these past few records in indeed almost a different band, structurally speaking. Then again, Swans always had a fluid line up anyways so...
