Birthing by Swans is a fantastic possible end to the band's longer format releases. For the past 13 years, they have released mammoth double albums, full of lengthy psychedelic compositions fully exploring their sound and composition ability and this is a great culmination of all of them, with spell binding production from band leader Michael Gira. While it is not the strongest out of this series as it does meander at times, it is fantastic in its own right, showing off a wide range of colors and textures, going from apocalyptic crashes to the most serene of moments. Genre wise it showcases the bands brilliant mix of post rock and metal with elements of experimebtal psychedelic rock, anti folk and industrial moments that harken back to their early no wave days. I'd give this a low 8 out of 10.
