Michael Gira citation: "The song "The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black" uses some words I wrote in 1982 or so that Sonic Youth used for their song "The World Looks Red," back in the day. The music and melody used here in the current version are completely different. While working up material for this new album, I had a basic acoustic guitar version of the song and was stumped for words. For reasons unknown to me, the lyric I’d so long ago left in my typewriter in plain view at my living and rehearsal space (the latter of which Sonic Youth shared at the time) and which Thurston plucked for use with my happy permission, popped into my head and I thought “Why not?” The person that wrote those words well over three decades ago bears little resemblance to who I am now, but I believe it remains a useful text, so “Why not?”. Maybe, in a way, it closes the circle." Woah.

this song was written by Michael Gira, Swans frontman. Would explain why it sounds so badass. [2] nicely said.

Gira only wrote the lyrics: "I wrote the words to “The World Looks Red,” not “Confusion is Next.” Sonic Youth was rehearsing at my place & Thurston saw them sitting on my desk & asked if he could use them. Since I couldn’t see myself singing those words, I said yes." Albeit, I really like those lyrics, but it's the shimmering guitar sound that really drags me in.

BardoThodol this sounds nothing like James Chance. DNA, maybe, but not James Chance at all. It's not like because they were on the same no-wave compilation they all sound the same.
