I love that weird ass vibrato thing - it goes really well with that old pre-ethereal, 4AD goth sound the band had. I think 'Blood Bitch' may be my favorite of all CT songs. I don't know all of their albums but the ones I do - I know really well. So my abbreviated list goes like:

Victorialand > Blue Bell Knoll > Garlands > Treasure > Heaven or Las Vegas

I don't remember liking the stuff that came after Heaven much at all - they had become way too snooze-worthy for me by then. I would probably rate Head Over Heels fairly high but I can't really remember it right now.
