Fell asleep during that shit! Sounded like French music...
who is this for? certainly not me. i've listened to background music more captivating than this.
Snore fest
I have never "got" The Cocteau Twins and after listening to what is supposedly their most accessible album, I still don't get this Dream-pop sound. The entire album is just 37 minutes of distorted guitars, drum machines, echo boxes and tape loops with Elizabeth Fraser's operatic vocals that are barely recognisable as language.
This album wasn’t for me, didn’t like it at all
Great background music
Naaah this ain't it. 1.4
Not for me
Too Pop-Electronica for me. No interest. 1/5
Stick a fork in my eye and get me out of here.
Not my thing. Really didn't enjoy the sound of the singer's voice. I won't go as far as calling it "grating" but it nearly was. Almost couldn't finish the album.
Snore
Two Cocteau Twins albums in the first 200? What did I do to deserve this????
Not very melodic
It’s ok. Chill music
Boring. Felt like white noise.
💤💤💤
I don't think this is English. I like lyrics too much.
Not my thing
Felt like a soundtrack to a drug film
Not my thing at all
Not for me. But would be an easy listening category.
Didn't like
Pleasant enough.
I did not particularly enjoy this. Good singing I guess? Boring overall.
Bland and forgettable. Not sure why it’s on this list
Meh
Other reviews say airy and ephemeral which is true But also boring, hard to tell what they're saying, and sometimes just noisy
Didn’t click with me
1.25.
Not my style
i dont like this gender so much
Not my thing
I powered through this album just so I could give it an honest review. It’s terrible. Every song sounds like it’s a foreign cover. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: no
Quickly became background noise and interest faded away.
Uninspiring warble
Generic late 80s/early 90s dross, sounded vaguely like a mish mash of loads of other bands. Sounded tinny af as well, like it was designed to be played out of a car radio. I know I say it about every band I don't like but all their songs genuinely sounded the same!
A bit of a low for the list. Forgettable and generic, and difficult to understand.
The album has a very psychedelic and dream like sound which I was not a fan of. I really struggled to get through all of the tracks. I'm sure it was intentional but I hated the production/mixing because at times it felt like they were singing in another language.
What even is this trash?
Two Cocteau Twins albums that you must listen to before you die. If you plan to die of confused boredom, that is.
Nietszeggende zuurstokmuziek. Nooit van gehoord en qua album net zo klassiek als James Last Op Klompen.
This album should not be on this list.
i really did not like that genre
Ballbag. Totally boring and can't understand what they are singing half the time!
I think I liked it? Like I liked how the music sounded in my ears, but I don’t know if I would ever listen again.
not going to lie, didn't give this one much of a chance. With that said, I don't give much of a chance to any album that sounds like it was made on the 1988 casio yardsale keyboard of my youth. Maybe when some other artist covers one, or all of the songs in a different context, I can come to appreciate the songwriting, but until then, it's a no for me dawg.
Not my thing, could not connect with the vocals
I listened to this in an airport and it was decent background music while waiting to board the plane. It actually ended right as they announced that the boarding process would start - so that’s cool. Otherwise, I didn’t care.
This sounds like background music at a store. With the rest of the albums on the list, I can at least see that the artist is trying to do a thing.
They literally all sound the same to me.
Sometimes you have to accept that something is just not for you. People who like Cocteau Twins really like them, almost religiously. I am not one of those people. I don't get it, any of it. Nothing stands out as particularly good or bad. It's just there, like traffic noise in the background.
No thank you
Not my thing, didn’t make it past the first track. Sorry to say.
Zaraz mnie trafi, kolejny dzien z brytyjczykami i tym razem w postaci iscie toksycznej, bo dreamowy pop, czyli pop lat 90 w ktorym instrumentale buduja glownie syntezatory i klawisze, takie cos ala disko polo, wokal takze jest mocno potraktowany wszelakimi efektami co daje efekt krwawiacych uszu i ogolnego rozpierdolu na calej plycie, dobrze ze tortury trwaly tylko 37 minut, lirycznie albumik nie jest az tak bardzo popowy jak daja wrazenie jego instrumentale, ale ciezko grzebac sie w czyms takim, zeby posluchac o motywach zycia i smierci z perspektywy kogos kto wygdal nowe zycie, wokalistka i jeden z bandow memberow, czy tez smierci, jedyny trak ktory jest warty plejkowania jak dla mnie to otwierajacy cherry-coloured funk, bo jeszcze czlowiek nie jest zrazony tym co sie dzieje w pozniejszej czesci materialu
Nah...not my cup o tea.
Zeurderig ninetees album, totaal niet fijn
Who?
Ethereal, mellow
I have listened to this already! Its one of my faves ever ^^
Boring. Repetitive. I don't see the appeal.
🌺🔥
Excellent album, beautiful singing and fine musicianship, especially love the bass work.
Hola me parece muy bueno
Funky. Liked the 2nd track a lot.
