They've got so many excellent records. But yeah, this or Treasure for best Twins.

Victorialand for best CT is a weird take but I like it. Head Over Heels for best CT on the other hand is just silly

Head over Heels is the best Cocteau album

All that record's best qualities were eclipsed by Treasure though
...except for The Tinderbox (Of A Heart)'s brand of post punk. but Dead Can Dance would do that better on Spleen, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is becoming my go-to pop album, I get this feeling of almost unparalleled emotional depth, something I can’t even explain (because a lot of it is nonsense). Music is strange.

All those years of listening to Sigur Ros paid off.

This is one of my go-to pop albums too. The hooks on this thing will never get boring.



I can't get into much other Cocteau Twins, I like Blue Bell Knoll coz it's kinda similar to this but otherwise idk. I should probably sit down and give Victorialand a really good listen some time

Hearing Fotzepolitic while riding on a plane a year or so ago, watching the clouds and shit, was an spiritual experience, almost too much.

Treasure is a tense, darker and more tension-filled record. Although the songs are definitely there, I can see why it would be a grower in comparison.

I don't know that I don't like Treasure. It's Garlands and Victorialand that I've tried to listened to a handful of times and haven't gripped me

Only heard ‘Within the Realm’... honestly I respected it a hell of a lot more than I enjoyed it. There was a couple of notable standouts though. Need to revisit.
