the best dream pop album of all time.

>>73417031
agreed. Favorite song was Heaven or Las Vegas. What about you anon

>>73417031
Agreed, I'm still so happy I stumbled upon it a few years back

My favorite is still Cherry Coloured Funk, with Iceblink Luck being a strong second

Cocteau Twins are overrated

>>73417310

Definitely

>>73417892

>>73417414
Good top 3
Replace bloom for DC though

this song was the height of the Cocteau Twins discography desu

>>73418718
fuck yeah dude, they have a string of consistently perfect EPs from Spangle Maker to Love's Easy Tears

>>73417892
this

Is this the purest, most life-affirming song ever recorded?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Tj4bJ0VFw

Not even the best Cocteau Twins album.

>>73417892
There are no Grimes songs that come anywhere close to even some of the filler tracks on The Moon And Melodies.

Cocteau Twins is a perfect band.

Also, why no love for Fifty Fifty Clown? That and I Wear Your Ring are my shit even though Cherry Coloured Funk IS probably the best song.

>you will never see Cocteau Twins live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFGz5WL4Rms

It's hard to even imagine that this music was made by actual human beings. It's so uncontaminated and sublime.

Ivo was nuts for not getting Liz on more This Mortal Coil tracks.

Yep. One of the best albums of all time.

Euphoria by Insides is also a Dream Pop favourite of mine though.

This is probably the album I'm most conflicted on in my whole listening life. The lyrics are just awful but everything else sounds great.

TOP 5 DREAM POP ALBUMS

1: Heaven or Las Vegas
2: 98.12.28 Otokachi no Wakare
3: Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time
4: Souvlaki
5: Blue Bell Knoll

>>73419476
>giving a shit about lyrics

>>73417031
*the most boring dream pop album of all time.

Still can't believe I listened to you 3 years ago and checked it out. I listened to the actual good CT albums recently (Treasure, Head Over Heels, Victorialand) and still after liking them and giving this another shot the above statement holds true. Why is this such a meme? Is it the good title?

>>73419387
you'd get fucked up if you said that shit in my neighborhood, pal.

>>73419537
Blue Bell Knoll shits on those "actual good" CT albums you just listed.

>>73419537
do you like the albums after this/blue bell knoll?

>>73419476
I don't have any problems with the lyrics. I think most of them are pretty interpretable, which I often like. But It may be different if you're a native English speaker, I don't know.

>>73419554
>>73419556
nah just those I listed + the 1985's EP I can't be bothered to check the name of. Is it worth it or just a transition album to Heaven?

>>73419537
What did you like on other CT albums that you felt was missing on Heaven or Las Vegas?

>>73419592
Blue Bell Knoll is my 2nd favorite Cocteau Album of the 4-5 I've heard. My first is HoLV. BBK has Liz in her element as a vocalist.

>>73419592
both

>>73419592
*meant to say I've just heard those I listed, whoops

>>73418261
That's literally an nth rate early New Order clone.

>>73418702
shit taste

>>73419602
If I had to pinpoint it I'd say the drums and impacts of those just sound much better on Treasure and the like. Production just sounds "richer" and they're trying to make music that's not just "for chill in the background" if that doesn't sound too vile. Something like Persephone also doesn't exist on HOVL to my knowledge. But it's just that I like all of the songs on Treasure since their all unique in their spectrum where I can't find a song I like on HOLV

>>73419321
>>73419356
1. Heaven Or Las Vegas
2. Fotzepolitic
3. Cherry-Coloured Funk
4. Iceblink Luck
5. Pur
6. Carolyn's Fingers
7. Know Who You Are At Every Age
8. The Itchy Glowbo Blow
9. Summerhead
10. Alice

>>73419658
then you'll enjoy blue bell knoll a lot more
the love's easy tears and spangle maker EPs are really quick and all great songs

>>73419507
Unironically the best top 5 without explanation ive seen.

>>73419658
>If I had to pinpoint it I'd say the drums and impacts of those just sound much better on Treasure and the like. Production just sounds "richer"
wtf...The drums on Treasure sounds way too metallic and the production as a whole sounds cold, where HOLV have a great warmth to the production.

>>73419832
>The drums on Treasure sounds way too metallic

(not that guy) Well that's an element of ethereal wave and Cocteau Twins were one of the pioneers of that genre, nothing strange there.

>>73419832
>wtf...The drums on Treasure sounds way too metallic and the production as a whole sounds cold
THATS EXACTLY WHY I PREFER TREASURE

>>73419491
Only one great song

>>73419604
>BBK has Liz in her element as a vocalist.
Her performance on Carolyn's Fingers is absolutely insane.

>>73419507
1. Heaven or Las Vegas
2. Euphoria
3. Shimmering, Warm & Bright
4. Wings of Joy
5. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

Souvlaki is more Shoegaze to me.

>>73419832
>production as a whole sounds cold

Thats exactly why its so damn good

>>73420051
how is RWaA not jangle pop??

>>73419971
>>73420063
To each his own I guess
>>73420070
I classify Jangle Pop as an under-genre to Indie pop, and in my opinion The Sundays are more dreamy than regular indie Pop.

But I agree it's jangly as fuck.

>>73420051
>Shimmering, Warm & Bright
Bel Canto is underrated as heck

>>73420142
100% Agreed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofwxBYFvdGg

if you like dream pop then listen to mew - frengers and tell me what you think

>>73419491
I always loved Fade Into You, but never bothered to check this album out.. I'll give it a try now

>>73419977
not even close to being true dude
>Bells Ring (also the best song on the album)
>Five String Serenade
>Blue Light
>So Tonight That I Might See

>>73420185
It's much more Indie Pop than Dream Pop, but luckily I like the former very much too. Both Frengers and And The Glass Handed Kites are great albums.

Lazy Clam is best Cocteaux song

The purest dream pop, it feels like melting into buttery, molten ice cream

lol what

what are some dream pop or shoegaze that has a sort of syrupy saccharine sound like BBK/HOLV-era Cocteau Twins? something that might give me diabetes just by listening to it

>>73420525
Now this comment is something interesting that could be sent to neuroscientists for research. Like how you just connected the sound of certain music to certain taste. Why is that so? Does during eating of sugary food those taste buds activate same part of brain as does dream pop of BBK/HOLV? Hmmm

I love this album, but I'd like to find more ambient pop

>>73419005
Underrated fav of mine

>>73420825
I guess you've heard Earwig - Under My Skin I Am Laughing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uastelJUIdk
Basically the same band.

His Name Is Alive - Livonia is great in my opinion too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icDis9HNX7Q
I remember when this came on on my mp3 while delivering morning paper in a dark apartment house 8 years ago. That was pretty scary.

You could also check out 1 Mile North - Minor Shadows

>>73420525

You can both look up Northern Picture Library - Alaska. Pretty Ambient and you'll get a crippling diabetes.

>this complete lack of appreciation for the best track, Pitch The Baby

>>73420525
it's not dream pop, but the Strawberry Switchblade LP is sickeningly sweet.
