The Seer, Swans' 12th studio album overall and second following their 1997-2010 hiatus, is very possibly the lead candidate for this year's boldest full-length musical statement. At two hours and just 11 songs in length, it's an almost impossibly ambitious record, with one track ("The Seer") extending beyond a half-hour and two others ("A Piece of the Sky" and "Apostate") that aren't much shorter. On the strength of walloping chunks of industrial clang and propulsive freak-outs (plus a Karen O-featuring ballad, "Song for the Warror"), frontman Michael Gira and his feral flock have created the most transcendent record of their collective career.
