Cocteau Twins es una banda originaria de Grangemouth, Escocia, que estuvo en activo durante las dos últimas décadas del siglo XX (1982-1996). Derivada de la música post punk, se inscriben dentro de la llamada Dark Wave, más específicamente fueron los creadores y los líderes del género conocido como Dream Pop. Su sonido único (causado en parte por las innovadoras texturas del guitarrista Robin Guthrie y la voz y la técnica única sin apenas precedentes de Elizabeth Fraser) hizo que fueran una de las bandas más originales de su época.
Las guitarras «atmosféricas» de Guthrie y la voz de múltiples registros de Fraser, que oscila constantemente entre la suavidad y la potencia sonora, dan uniformidad a una una obra que experimenta una gran transformación desde sus inicios hasta inicios de los años 90. Si comenzaron como un grupo de música post punk, gótica, bastante obscura y áspera a veces, tras el album TREASURE desaparecieron estas connotaciones para volverse poco a poco más idílicos, suaves sin llegar a la blandura, creando ambientes sonoros amplios e inspirados a veces en el folk de su tierra natal. Una vez más, la guitarra y la voz salvan a estas músicas de caer en tópicos, y si a oidos «profanos» sus canciones pueden sonar repetitivas, la reelaboración de su propio estilo, la búqueda de una especie de «perfeccion» melódica se hace patente.

@SoRuthless Yep, I love Twinlights. I even like the acoustic version of Half-Gifts more than the one on M&K.

@YControl755, Seekers Who Are Lovers is amazing! have you listened to the Twinlights EP?? Half-Gifts and Rilkean Heart are amazing in that EP, its done acoustically, which is radically different than most of their stuff, but its a softer version of those two tunes. the Otherness EP is done incredibly too. Seekers Who Are Lovers and Violaine are done in another way as well. its not as soft as Twinlights, but its nonetheless lovely.

@Otherness, youve got something right there... it is honest, and there are some beautiful songs on that album. i consider Know Who You Are At Every Age to be one of my favorite quotes to live by.

M&K took a long time to grow on me but I finally warmed up to it. Now I consider Violaine, Rilkean Heart and Seekers Who are Lovers to be three of their finest songs. And the rest is certainly pleasant enough to listen to. FCC also has undeniable gems. I don't think there's anything in their catalog that's not worth owning.

While I'm not too big a fan of "Milk & Kisses", I am always ready to stand up in defence of "Four-Calendar Café". It's not as intricate as the 1984-1990 stuff, but it has a beautiful honesty to it, which works wonderfully with the simpler songwriting. It's both vulnerable and soothing -- it's like talking to your best friend about your problems and getting good advice. (Whoa, my train of thought's getting derailed.) Of course, I understand why people would like it less than the Cocteau's earlier work, but it's still one of my favourite CT releases and nothing more and nothing less than a beautiful, heartfelt album.

@adthey - my most fave is Victorialand with four-calendar cafe and milk&kisses following close behind. I don't think they have any weak albums but rather different seasons (much like on a calendar). As Fraser has said in interviews, the last 2 albums were recorded live with every band member there while earlier albums were done differently which has resulted in unique situations. what you find strong (or weak) depends on you and nothing else - if you like a "raw" sound, you will probably prefer the early era but the final stages are (to me) when their style has finally been established; the indecipherable lyrics mixing with the more common; layers upon layers of sound and Fraser's voice finally in its more "experienced" and confident stage, almost like an instrument. that "downward spiral" doesn't mean the artist is reluctant. this is Chemistry: you take something and turn it into something else. hey that's what the bees have been doing for centuries...please don't be a bigot! xoxoxo

do share your opinion, I haven't objected against that - it was the way you tossed them aside like that that I still don't agree with (which you have done again by calling me a mindless fanboy) - maybe you should get over yourself and then share your criticism with others ? 'cos right now you're not sharing anything but your giant ego.

Having said that, I still listen to both albums from time to time, but the question wasn't "do you hate any CT albums", but rather if we feel there were any weak albums compared to their better works. btw, Anyone notice my Curb reference?
-
Smackrobiotic escribió:
Yes, let's all become mindless fanboys with an inability to critique art truthfully and honestly. Given the circumstances it's not a huge surprise that their last two LP's do not compare in quality to their previous albums - nobody is going out on a limb in saying so. It's ultimately up to the listener to decide, and there is nothing wrong with someone expressing their opinion. I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm going to share what I feel as well.
-
SoRuthless escribió:
wow, we need to chill and just simply appreciate all their albums for what they are; beautiful works of art. no one talks about weak pieces by Munch or Dali, they admire them as they are, not for what they should be. but i still stand by my opinion, there are no weak albums.

Downward spirals make for great albums? Please explain this asinine notion. So, the best art is created when the artist is reluctant, and doesn't even want to be there? Talk about ignorance.
-
queerella escribió:
nope, neither are weak albums, not even close - downward spirals usually make great albums and it's no different in this case. what a shame to see such ignorant judgements on a CT page - it's like the direct opposite of Cocteau Twins' fluid + creative essence.
-
Smackrobiotic escribió:
Four-Calendar and Milk & Kisses are their weakest albums, but they both have their bright spots. Both of the albums were recorded when the group were on a downward spiral due to the inner turmoil present at the time.
