Enjoy this lovely album.
Dream pop, shoegaze. 1983.
I just spent the last 2.5 weeks listening to nothing but Cocteau Twins full length albums in attempt to see if it was possible to rank them. Turned out to be one of the hardest rankings I've ever had to do. They are just such an incredible band and there really is nobody else like them. Would love to see everyone else's too!
- Treasure (Favorite Track: Amelia)
- Blue Bell Knoll (Favorite Track: Athol-brose)
- Head Over Heels (Favorite Track: Sugar Hiccup)
- Garlands (Favorite Track: Shallow Then Halo)
- The Moon and the Melodies (Favorite Track: Sea, Swallow Me)
- Heaven or Las Vegas (Favorite Track: Frou-frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires
- Victorialand (Favorite Track: Lazy Calm)
- Four-Calendar Cafe (Favorite Track: Pur)
- Milk & Kisses (Favorite Track: Calfskin Smack)
I've only heard Heaven or Las Vegas. I loved it. Looking for suggestions for what album of theirs to explore next
😍 WHO AGREES
As the title mentions, there's a bit of everything in this post. Shipping is a flat $5 no matter how much you purchase within the U.S. via media mail (including the beast that is the Garth box set). PayPal G&S only. Grading is jacket/record. I will consider offers after 24 hours
Thanks for looking!

Dream Pop
8/10
It's straightforward and atmospheric early 90's pop music. Sounds like a mixture of shoegaze dreaminess and pop catchiness. Definitely worth checking out.
Mine’s Multifoiled! It sounds so romantic yet badass, and I feel like so much of Head Over Heels is often overlooked!!
#Sorry this is late
As part of the 1990s Essentials Voting, we will be taking 10 days to examine and discuss the albums and their merits to belong on the Essentials Chart. Start debates on what does and does not belong. There will be one top level comment per album, so I hope most of the discussion can be done per album as replies to the top level comment. Be respectful of others opinions and take the time to listen to any albums that pique your interest.
Remember that of the group of 80, that this round 30 will get onto the chart, with 10 more at a later point.

I’ve been wanting to get into them but I don’t know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
I always go through a fight in my head over which song I think is my favourite underrated/underplayed Cocteau twins song so I’d love to know what are some of your opinions on this matter :)
