Absolutely great record that will hopefully bring a tear at the end from the information that this is the last record of this Swans line-up. On the flip side, it's a farewell not dignified, but literally phenomenal. An excellent recording that surprisingly (yes surprisingly, because Swans recordings deserve a properly hyped sound) works on vinyl. The melancholic undertone of the record clashes with intimate explosions. Birthing is a record about the ing of my dad. That's how I feel about this record.
