Greed (Swans album)

Greed is the third album by the New York band Swans. It features slightly more melodic and dark sounds than the very brutal noise rock the band was known for playing. Certain tracks utilize drum machines, the lead instrument on "Fool" is a grand piano, and "Money Is Flesh" uses a synthesizer.

This is the first Swans album that would contain contributions from Jarboe.
