Swans' classic album 'Love of Life' (1992) continues the astounding creative roll Swans found themselves on. The title track has a quick, rushed pace and pulse, with stabs of further percussion and keyboards to provide underscoring energy to Gira's excellent singing, while 'The Golden Boy That Was Swallowed by the Sea' captures Swans at their most self-consciously mythic, with a subtly descending chord defining the sweeping, string-heavy song as Gira invokes near Blakean images of crowds, shorelines, and the titular boy, laden with deceptively simple power. Jarboe's own vocals, as ever, are exquisite, investing 'The Other Side of the World' and her own lyric 'She Crys (For Spider)' with her beautiful, rich singing. With such further successes as the first gentle then pounding love song 'Her' (combined with a poignant interview clip) and the snarling kick of 'Amnesia' to its overall credit as well, 'Love of Life' unsurprisingly proves to be yet another Swans masterpiece.
