Swans - Children Of God

I was planning on letting you guys rule guesses out, but because of Swans recent history, I wouldn't choose something as controversial as this.

First confirmed Not-It.

Completely understandable

Some people, even those who legit do condemn artists for the awful behavior and boycott, have still supported swans because they are an artist that if sorry hard to find a replacement for compared to say.. Brand New or Kodak Black

This also means that none of the members have had a problematic past.. so no ace of base because one member is/was a nazi

Clue recap:
1. Two people in the band were dating when the record was made (note I didn't say if they still were or not)
2. It was the band's fifth album

Next clue in the next day or two... let's see what else you come up with!

Since the next clue is their 5th album should this be amended to Sister? Im going off Allmusic but that is what they are showing for their 5th album.

So I’ll move my new order guess to Technique then. While New Order always walked the Dance/Rock tightrope this was probably their most “club” friendly album insipired by and recorded in Ibiza.

This is where it gets weird, as some people count the Sonic Youth LP as an album, some as an EP. I'll put you down for Sister, though, if you want!

you also have implied they have not had a huge problematic moment that can hurt the listening of them

I didn't realize that was a clue, but I'll take it!
It does make me uncomfortable to think about how many bands would get weeded out there.

I would feel bad snaking that guess.

Put me down for Siouxsie and the Banshees A Kiss in Dreamhouse.

I will drop my next actual hint on Monday.

In the meantime, I am willing to answer questions.

How is your day going?
Is it considered a "classic" album?
What?

Day is *meh* but I am home now so it's looking up

As far as a "classic" album... This probably weeds a few guesses out, but I think the album is more accepted as "well regarded."

And for your last question, huh?

A 90s album?

 

[MadLucas]

A 90s album?

A band that started and bubbled on the underground circuit in the 90's, but this album is from the 00's.

When I started this, I was CONVINCED someone would have gotten this by now...

...and I just realized that, 3 official clues and 2 unofficial clues in, I have inadvertently with this last hint completely ruled out every single guess.

Should I go easier or stay on this trajectory?
