Heaven or Las Vegas

Sonically ok, but I couldnt understand a word they were singing.
I thought I would like it more on second listen but I didn't. It's not bad enough for a 2 though

Favorite track(s): Pitch the Baby, Fifty-Fifty Clown, Heaven or Las Vegas, Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires

The instrumentals are good, but that awful lyrical cadence throws me off (2.5-3)

Gave me slight Twin Peaks vibes.

When I bought this album at a record store the guy working there said, “what a choice huh? Heaven or Las Vegas!” And I just replied, “ya, what a choice,” and nothing else because I have no social skills and can’t hold a normal conversation.

Anyway, great album 5/5

avaushittiraidan ulkopuolella vähän liian itseään toistavaa. 3/5

I remember listening to some of their stuff back in the day, but can't say I remember much of it. I like the song "Pitch the Baby" more than "Cherry-coloured Funk". Really can go forever without hearing the first track again. It wasn't awful in a "ugh this is terrible" way, but I just did not like it. However, based on just these 2 tracks, I'm thinking one listen is all I will ever need of this album. "Iceblink Luck" is worse than track 1. I'm trying real hard not to skip it, but I may fail. Not sure I'll make it through all 10 tracks. I did make it through all 10 tracks. They range from okay to nope and overall, forgetable.

I don't believe dream pop gets better than this. Beautiful, ethereal stuff. Favorite track: Heaven or Las Vegas

This was fun. I'm not singing along to any of the songs, but I would definitely listen to it again.

You know when you can hear a certain time though music? This just sounds like the early 90s to me.

This just isn't for me though. It all kind of sounds the same and it's not something I would seek out or listen to again. 2.5/5. Raising to 3.

This band has always been very interesting to me. Although the lyrics don't mean anything, the music is just so dreamy and vibey, and Liz Fraser's vocals are mesmerizing. I enjoyed it.

The Good: We are finally told the truth!
The Bad: Didn’t know hell is was so popular…
The Ugly: The freakin’ outfits being worn in hell…

So, second time around for the Cocteau Twins on this list, and, truth-be-told, this album was better received by my brain than the previous one.

Also, maybe I finally understand what the term shoegaze is in refers to: one gazing at one’s shoes!!!

Oh well, there goes my future as a comedy writer…

skroz korektno, ništa posebno, ali ne vrijeđa sluh

5 ESTRELAS SEQUÍSSIMO

dos melhor album do mundo e eu digo isso levinho: não tem outra banda fazeno um dream pop completamente etéreo dessa forma não.

sem palavras. lindo demais demais demais.

Well made album.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

and the award for best album in the worst genre goes to:

I struggled to have a view on this album. There was nothing that grabbed me in any way, but at the same time it wasn’t shit just a bit meh

I had no idea what anyone was saying through a good chunk of this album. I like paying attention to lyrics, so it would be lovely to be able to hear them. They aren't even on Genius because it turns out someone (the band?) got grumpy they were incorrect. You know how you fix that, Cocteau Twins? Enunciate!

The vocals annoyed me so much, this is getting a 1, even though it would probably have got a mid-table obscurity 2 or 3 otherwise.

Some absolute bangers on here, and obviously pioneers of the genre. As is sometimes the case, later artists did it better (Beach House, Delays), but this still rocks.

This album got me back into listening to whole albums after years of spotify slop playlists. I had already been a fan of Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine, but Cocteau Twins introduced me to a whole different subset of shoegaze/dreampop music.

An absolute classic.
