POP CONEISSEURS

Review Score: (10/10)
This is probably the best CT album. It's complete. Liz never sang like this before, she sounds like a woman for the very first time (she always sounded neuter to me). The production is very sophisticated, everything is extremely beautiful in musical terms. I never got the feeling that this is less dark than previous releases, or more commercial, etc... Those are just arguments of those who got tired of the CT, that they did not pay much attention, their previous records are much simpler in my opinion (Elisabeth's voice, string ostproduction, lyrics...), and I've always liked the CT. In fact I think this is a very mature masterpiece, this album was a huge influence for their next one "Milk and kisses". I can't remember a better album than this one for the time it was released. Although it was understimated by the critics (see above) while they were very fond of PJ Harvey harsh and raw rock sound or the dance commercial Debut by Björk, and it was also understimated by half of their hyper-dark fans (I've always thought the average dark waver is the slowest to evolve), this is for sure a GEM for POP CONEISSEURS.
