Cocteau Twins

Garlands

Different...But Still Really Good

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
"Garlands", the first of many Cocteau Twins masterpieces is definitely the odd-one-out. If you've been listening to the Twins' other work, which has its own classic, unique sound, you'll definitely be shocked after hearing "Garlands." If the Cocteau Twins have a really dark album, this is definitely it, with its angry, menacing-sounding guitar and constant, dark beats via a drum-machine (which I really love, by the way). The vocals here aren't light and heavenly like on the releases to come (especially Victorialand); they sound spooky and haunting. The best songs, in my opinion, are "Wax and Wane," "Shallow then Halo," "Blind Dumb Deaf" and "Garlands."

I wouldn't recommend starting off your Cocteau Twins' collection with Garlands, because it isn't an accurate portrayal of the Cocteau Twins' sound. After Garlands, it completely changed. If you are interested in starting somewhere, I would highly recommend getting "Treasure" first, because it combines all of the Cocteau Twins' sound. However, Garlands is one of my most favorite Cocteau Twins albums and you should definitely own it.
