Cocteau Twins (alternative, funk, pop, punk, rock)

I'm surprised there's no thread on them D: Anyways, I've recently been getting into them and they're beautiful, particularly the vocals. I don't think I need to say much, I kind of like Heaven or Las Vegas better than Treasure. Discuss.

I quite like Treasure, I was going to get Heaven and Las Vegas but someone told me it was much worse ...

I don't think it is, it's more mellow/accessible I suppose I like it alot though. I have a link if you want it.

Great band but I can tire of them after a while. Blue Bell Knoll is an awesome track.

three outstanding albums, the rest is mostly pretty good too.

I love her voice, it's really chilling. Sometimes I feel they could've done a little more with their unique sound, but generally speaking they're an excelent band.

I think it's the cocteau twins' vocalist on "Teardrop" by Massive Attack as well, which is obviously an awesome song.

edit: Treasure is better than HOLV imo...much more atmospheric and w/ better songwriting.

Yeah - that pretty much sums it up. I saw them performing Pearly Dewdrops Drops on Whistle Test when I was at school and warmed to them in a sub-goth kinda way. The Pink Opaque is definitely one of the best albums.

Heaven Or Las Vegas was my first Cocteaus album and still my favorite.Alot of their records are inconsistent.
