Default Cocteau Twins

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.

Recommendations:
Lorelei
Cherry-Coloured Funk
Heaven Or Las Vegas
Pandora

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.
