bit salty this has a higher rating than Serpent's Egg, that to me is far and away their finest work

Serpent's Egg just seems like a refinement of what they had already done. Perhaps their most consistent though.

Self-titled still overtakes this one in my eyes

Their debut seemed to me as the band trying to find their footing. Still Grounded in Cocteau Twins's "Garlands". Here is where "Neoclassical Darkwave" is born.

Hot take, read at your own risk: except Dead Can Dance s/t steamrolls Garlands

Serpent's Egg is exactly that, a perfection of all the sounds they'd been flirting with. Lisa and Gerrard never sounded better. The instrumentals were so rich and emotive. Easily their best for me

Cool.

Just a heads up, if you're expecting another Within The Realm this isn't that for the most part.
