'victorialand is far superior imo, but a little less accesible'
I enjoy Victorialand but prefer this, Treasure, Head Over Heels & Blue Bell (although it's close to the latter). Maybe I'm missing something.

Lizzie's lyrics are pretty unintelligible on Treasure as well and it's an absolutely astounding record.
Time to stop fucking around and check this one tbh.

It can be tiring to listen to the same declarations everytime you listen to a song. So unintelligible>>intelligible. I wished more bands would do it.

That's an interesting & worthy point, not something I'd considered myself. Also, a lot of potentially great records have been ruined by clumsy or obnoxious lyricism which of course could be avoided if you can't understand the content.
Personally indecipherable or unintelligible lyrics/sounds can add a mystique to music & as someone who appreciates instrumental stuff I don't necessarily need words to paint a picture, not when the music itself can be so moving.

I agree. Most musicians are no poets, and although there is an Ian Anderson here and a Sufjan Stevens there, most musicians are just bad at wording. It isn't really their profession anyway ... so yeah, why not. It makes it feel all the more otherworldly, too, which only fits this record's air

I love artists who explore their voice as another instrument rather than something that is supposed to "stand out" from the instrumentation. Cocteau Twins and MBV excel at this. I also think "unintelligible lyrics/sounds can add a mystique to music". Treasure almost has this aura to it (as if it came from an ether) and the record is really elevated by that. The only statement I have a problem with is "most musicians are just bad at wording" - kind of a big generalization. I do get your point... just not sure if I agree.

When I say "most" it's hardly a generalization. It would be a generalization if I said "musicians in general are bad at wording" - which I didn't

"This album loses points for unintelligible lyrics
GTFO
"I enjoy Victorialand but prefer this, Treasure, Head Over Heels & Blue Bell (although it's close to the latter). Maybe I'm missing something."
Victorialand is kinda an all or nothing listen imo - not an album to dip in and out of, whereas the other four you listed work great either way. I guess I'd rank them as this>Treasure>>>Victorialand>Blue Bell>>Head Over Heels but they're all fab
