Cocteau Twins fans! rank your favorite albums from them! So this past three weeks, i've been listening to nothing but the cocteau twins. First with singles such as Iceblink Luck, Carolyn Fingers, Etc. Then i started to listen to their albums here is my take on them!
Garlands-9.5/10- A thunder storm is brewing in the night- stand out tracks: only then shallow, Wax And Wane, Garlands, But Im Not.
Head Over Heels 9.0/10, a heavier album, what i mean is that i felt this to a bit more darker and more punkier than Garlands, Personally with the opening like When Mama Was a Moth, it can stand against dark heavy metal opening. Stand out tracks: When Mama Was A Moth, Sugar Hicup, Tinder Box and Musetter And Drums.
Treasure-7/10 some call overated, some call it the best. I do love the ethereal affect of this album and i do not necessary dislike the album, its just okay to me, the song was awesome, but at the end, its just okay to me. However, this is a great intro to people wanting to get into Cocteau Twins. Stand out Tracks: Ivo, Persophone, Domino
Victorialand-10/10. My favorite album by them, Wintry, ambient, dreamy, conceptual, wonderful. is the words that i can only think of when listening to this album! Stand out tracks: all the songs, none to skip.
The Moon And The Maladies- 9/10 A dark album, but not dark like Garlands, just dark in a sad sort of way, perhaps, their saddest in my opinion. more ambient-like and less fraiser, still a wonderful album. stand out tracks: Sea Swallow Me
Blue Bell Knoll- 8/10 Ethereal, is the only word best describing this beautiful album. To me, this twins had more time to work on this album and you can tell, this had to be treasure, if it was worked on more. Stand out tracks: Carolyn Fingers, a kissed out red floatboat, for pheobe still a baby.
Heaven Or Los Vegas- 7/10 coucn't really get into this album that much, i mean it had its moments. I think its really good and dreamy. I don't hate the record and critics say its their best. i am fifty fifty. Stand Out Tracks-Fotzepolitic
Four-Calendar Cafe-5/10 same as with heaven or Los Vegas- however compare to HORLV, i enjoyed HORLV than this. Standout tracks-Evangeline, Bluebeard, Know Who you are at every Age.
Milk And Kisses-10/10 Happy and Sad. Elated and Defeated. A difficult album for me to listen, not becauses it horrible, its because its the end of a great band, i enjoyed. Stand out tracks: Violane, Tishbite, Rilkean heart, Seekers Who Are Lovers, Ups, Serpent Skirts.
There you go!
whats your favorite cocteau twin album, which one is your least, added bonus your favorite Cocteau Twin EP And Single
Mines Are... Peppermint Pig And Tishbite.
