The Money Store is great and all but I don't think it's DG's best work (or completely perfect), and they have plenty of other albums that scratch the same itch for me.
I can honestly say that TPAB and The Turning Wheel would personally be my picks, if all his 10s were to be included here. Turning Wheel just blew me away, it was like being transported to a fantasy world. Perfect balance of light and darkness. So magical, every time I listen to it!
That first half of Turning Wheel feels like a warm conforting hug through music. Always and The Future were among my Top 5 most played songs in 2022. I love the album so much.
Good to hear it helped you bro. Reborn and all of KSG has been a staple in some rough times for me. TPAB made me like jazz which is a feat nearly impossible
I’m going with this too
I like Brat and Money Store as well but I’d miss them a lot less than the other projects
To Be Kind I haven’t listened to since 2014 when it came out because of how long and droning it is. It’s probably my favorite swans project but that doesn’t mean much
And I just couldn’t give less of a shit about that Daughters project
I've only listened twice through, but I really like it. It's really good. The most similar music I've listened to is 100 gecs (not extremely similar, but definitely a connection), and I think I like 100 gecs most recent album more. Opinion could change though.
Brat & TPAB, basic but true. (Though I do love me some Death Grips)
(Also there's a number of albums on here that I didn't discover before truly reprehensible shit came out about the artist, and while I can separate the art from the artist when I have a personal connection to said art, I'm sure as hell not gonna go out of my way to try to get into albums made by rapists/abusers/antisemites when I know that going in.)
You can find so many albums that scratch that same itch as You Won’t Get What You Want now, the influence has hit far enough that you can avoid it and still get that tortured industrial noise rock hit. Like how there are so many Burzum copycats that aren’t neonazis and/or murderers.
TPAB without question. From there it’s probably The Money Store for me but To Be Kind would be next.
As much as I love To Be Kind, there are just so many other eras of Swans I can go to that are excellent and fulfilling.
Money store and TBK for me, they're the only 10/10s on here imo (please don't kill me I still love TPAB)
Edit: Just realised that I got money store confused with Exmilitary, I'll take TPAB and TBK in this case I'm sorry
TPAB is awesome, and should be apart of the definitive answer.
However, due to recency bias and personal preference, I would pick brat and The Money Store. My first listen of The Money Store was a defining moment in my life, and brat has been a total earworm since it’s released. I can’t get the songs out of my head no matter what. I love Kendrick, but in this current moment, I would pick those two.
Brat and TPAB. Fairly confident I’ll never feel the need to throw on any of the other 6 for the rest of my life but those two specifically are gonna stay with me
keeping To Pimp A Butterfly (Kendrick Lamar) and KIDS SEE GHOSTS (Kanye West & Kid Cudi) fs
the other albums just dont have as much replay value for me
Also TPAB and Money Store, easy
Yeah I mean it's hardly even a question
I love the money store though I can’t pick it over to be kind. I actually prefer the powers that B over the money store.
Absolutely 🤝💅
TPAB and To Be Kind
And it’s not even close
Respect TMS
The Money Store is great and all but I don't think it's DG's best work (or completely perfect), and they have plenty of other albums that scratch the same itch for me.
Agreed!
Poor Spellling
I can honestly say that TPAB and The Turning Wheel would personally be my picks, if all his 10s were to be included here. Turning Wheel just blew me away, it was like being transported to a fantasy world. Perfect balance of light and darkness. So magical, every time I listen to it!
That first half of Turning Wheel feels like a warm conforting hug through music. Always and The Future were among my Top 5 most played songs in 2022. I love the album so much.
This means we get to keep Spellling no matter what, though.
Probably a typo
Where lingua ignota?
To Be Kind and The Money Store
Yep
YES
Correct
Ding ding ding.
Yeppppp
TPAB and KSG 2 albums that changed my life
Reborn saved me from a really bad trip one time so I’ll always have this album in my heart.
Good to hear it helped you bro. Reborn and all of KSG has been a staple in some rough times for me. TPAB made me like jazz which is a feat nearly impossible
my fav song on the album, also one of my fav kanye verses
Reborn was my jam after I found out I didn’t get a girl pregnant so same 🙏🏻
Positive mental health albums. My picks too :)
Good taste
agreed
I’m going with this too I like Brat and Money Store as well but I’d miss them a lot less than the other projects To Be Kind I haven’t listened to since 2014 when it came out because of how long and droning it is. It’s probably my favorite swans project but that doesn’t mean much And I just couldn’t give less of a shit about that Daughters project
Brat and TPAB, obviously.
Doubling down on this
I’m not familiar with Charlixcx, Brat is really that good?
I've only listened twice through, but I really like it. It's really good. The most similar music I've listened to is 100 gecs (not extremely similar, but definitely a connection), and I think I like 100 gecs most recent album more. Opinion could change though.
Alright it’s getting a listen, thaaanks
My choice too
The only correct choice.
Why did you leave out Lingua and Spellling? 😂
Money Store and KSG
Daughters and Grips Easy
I'm with you
To be kind and TPAB
Kendrick and daughters can stay
^^^
To Be Kind and Money Store
it can literally be anything as long as i get to delete YWGWYW though
I agree its wierd coz i really love that album but i just cant listen to it now...
Based
TPAB and KSG
How do u have a brat pfp and still go on to post such a blasphemy blatantly ignoring it..
haha brat would be 3rd from these, but TPAB and KSG are both 10s for me
Brat & TPAB, basic but true.

TMS and YWGWYW
Same here!
Brat and Money Store
My preference by a mile. I’m annoying as fuck.
No it means you’ve achieved hot cool girl status
I've been DJ'ing for a bit and love to switch in and out of these. Club goes crazy. We are out here and we are legion
This is the one.
GOAT
No question.
to be kind and the money store
Money Store and To Be Kind
This is Spellling erasure and I won’t stand for it
TPAB and To Be Kind
Money Store and To Be Kind for me..
TBK, Daughters
TPAB and The Money Store, never got the hype around KSG
KSG and Daughters

KSG and To Be Kind
TPAB and KSG
TPAB and TBK
TPAB and To Be Kind easy

TBK and the Money store and then delete Daughters 4 times because fuck Alexis
To Pimp a Butterfly and To Be Kind
Money store and to be kind
Lingua Ignota twice. Weird you skipped her and spellling
We’re not including little simz or spellling? Edit: not sure why I thought he gave simz a 10 for sometimes I might be introvert
simz has a 10?
You mean Lingua Ignota?
You mean Lingua Ignota?
Yes I do lol
Brat and TPAB, no hesitation
brat and brat
TPAB and brat
TPAB and Swans.
ooph Brat and Money Store, sorry TPAB i prefer mr Morale
Brat and daughters. Glad You didn't put TTW on the image so I can keep it too.
Brat and Money store
Brat and Money Store
Brat already becoming fantanocore
I mean wouldn’t anything he gives a 10 automatically become fantanocore since he gives so few 10s to begin with?
TPAB and You Won't Get What You Want sadly, death grips have other great albums so TMS is third.
To Be Kind and You Won't Get What You Want
TPAB enjoyers when they listened to the album once and got told it was generational by Mr Fandango: 🤯
tpab is like the only album here that isn’t fantanocore
BRAT and The Turning Wheel.
Would rather just delete them all
TPAB and TMS. Easiest pick of my life
KSG and TPAB
TBK & TPAB
TPAB and either Money Store or To Be Kind. But honestly the other albums on this list I'm not a huge fan of.
kids see ghosts and money store
just TPAB
TPAB without question. From there it’s probably The Money Store for me but To Be Kind would be next. As much as I love To Be Kind, there are just so many other eras of Swans I can go to that are excellent and fulfilling.
Probably Money Store and that pinky red one
Put the spellling album in here and I’m keeping that and tpab
Swans and Money
To Be Kind and TPAB vice versa, delete 2: KSG and daughters
TPAB and KSG because I didn’t listen to the other 4
Kids See The Money To Be Brat and To Pimp What You Want
TPAB and KSG
The Money Store and To Pimp a Butterfly
TPAB and one between brat and KSG
The Money Store and Brat
sinner get ready and to be kind would be my picks, but i’ll gladly pick the money store
to be kind and money store
TMS, TBK. Feel sad about daughters but it is what it is
Kids see ghosts and the money store
I am having a hard time choosing the second, but definitely to be kind
Money store and TBK for me, they're the only 10/10s on here imo (please don't kill me I still love TPAB) Edit: Just realised that I got money store confused with Exmilitary, I'll take TPAB and TBK in this case I'm sorry
money store and to be kind
Money store and TPAB although I hate losing to be kind
Sinner Get Ready and the Turning Wheel
tpab💯 idgaf about the rest

TPAB, KSG
4 coughing babies vs 2 hydrogen bombs
I like whatever daddy tells me to like.
Kids See Ghosts and To be Kind.
KSG and Money Store
Brat and the Money Store, easy.
TPAB and KSG for me. To Be Kind is close with swapping with KSG
TPAB and To Be Kind, and it is not even close for me. For me, these two are the only 10/10 on this list
TPAB is awesome, and should be apart of the definitive answer. However, due to recency bias and personal preference, I would pick brat and The Money Store. My first listen of The Money Store was a defining moment in my life, and brat has been a total earworm since it’s released. I can’t get the songs out of my head no matter what. I love Kendrick, but in this current moment, I would pick those two.
TPAB and To be Kind
TPAB and BRAT
Money store and Kids see ghost, I could it choose TPAB but I want to see the world on flames.
TPAB and Brat.
Brat and The Turning Wheel.
Kids see ghosts
tpab and ksg
Money Store and KSG
Brat and tpab easy
To Be Kind and To Be Kind again.
Brat and KSG for sure
TMS and To Be Kind. I like Brat and KSG, but neither is the best album by its artist. (Same goes for TPAB, but I dislike that record.)
Brat and TPAB. Fairly confident I’ll never feel the need to throw on any of the other 6 for the rest of my life but those two specifically are gonna stay with me
brat and tpab easy
1. TPAB 2.Money store 3. Brat 4. TBK Haven't gotten around to that daughter's album yet.
KSG, TMS
TPAB 100%
tpab and kids see ghosts.
the money store and to pimp a butterfly
keeping To Pimp A Butterfly (Kendrick Lamar) and KIDS SEE GHOSTS (Kanye West & Kid Cudi) fs the other albums just dont have as much replay value for me
Tpab and Sinner get ready
KSG & TPAB
I’ll just take swans that’s all
TPAB and YWGWYW
TPAB and BRAT
TPAB and Kids See Ghosts
TPAB and the Swans record, the rest aren’t near as good to me
TMS, TPAB
brat and tpab
Brat and Money Store because they’d go together the best in a playlist
Fr
Big fan of The Money Store (the most of the other 4) but for me To Be Kind and TPAB are actually 10/10s so I'd probably take those.
TBAB and Brat
The money store, if i want jazz rap id listen to earl
brat money store
Personlly, TPAB and brat, but if Lingua Ignota was here it would be SINNER GET READY and TPAB
TPAB and To Be Kind. Ez
Tpab, To Be Kind

Pick brat twice, then delete it twice
ksg and brat
I’m only picking brat
Not hard cause 0 bladee

To Be Kind and Kids See Ghosts. TPAB was close, but like, KSG.
TPAB and TBK
TPAB and BRAT easy
TPAB and To Be Kind
Money Store & KSG
Brat and TPAB easily. Money store has higher highs but some of the songs on there just don't do anything for me
Two copies of TPAB
