Yeah Sugar Hiccup is superb.

Also apparently Pika IS Sugar Hiccup? I mean he IS superb, so it could work...

How sweet :3



I commented because Ars was unhappy how no one ever comments in this thread when he bumps it because all people care about are Treasure and Heaven or LA

This is probably my fourth favourite CT



Just above BBK, but not as good as Treasure, LA, and Victorialand

It's a great album



It's like Treasure, but I suppose slightly gritter and post punkier

I love Treasure but for some reason never listened to Heaven (or maybe I did but forgot) or had any inkling to check this

maybe will change that

edit - if this is like a more gritty, post punk treasure then I AM SOLD

Yes, it is a great album! Was a bit of a grower for me too.

I like this more than Heaven or Las Vegas



Don't get me wrong, I love Heaven or Las Vegas, but the lower production dirtier darker Cocteau Twins is probably more my thing

Somewhat different beasts, so preferring one over another isn't that strange to be honest.



Five Ten Fiftyfold is < 3

It isn't strange, no. This album's lovely, yet a bit uneven for me, checked it again this morning and this 3.5 is here to stay at least a little longer.

Their middle four are still their peak in my opinion, and I actually really love Milk & Kisses.

That was the whole point of them too right? Making the sounds of the words lend them their meaning, not the actual meaning being important?

I haven't heard the 2 post-HoLV albums or Garlands, but I find Victorialand a little forgettable, so that's probably why it's my least fave of the 5 I know

Haha yeah, just making sure!

And Victorialand is so nicely quiet and comfy Ars! It is quite different though. Yet it also contains one of their best tracks ever, Lazy Calm.

They rule very very hard and even their less-liked albums are crazy good to me. Milk & Kisses is especially underrated I'd say. I might review it one day even!



Five Ten Trifo is a good thing I hope octagon! I hope it's something along the lines of < 3
