Greed is the third studio album by American experimental rock band Swans.[5][6] It was released in 1986, through record label K.422.[7] Greed marks the slow turning point for Swans away from the harsh, brutal noise rock of prior releases,[1] and is also the first Swans album to contain contributions from Jarboe.[8]
