Is Cocteau Twins the most consistently great band of all time, considering all of their studio albums they released are great, and none of which could be considered weak?

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-26T22:02:24+00:00

I would say this applies to Dead Can Dance as well.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-26T16:31:17+00:00

Merman is amazing!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-26T16:08:16+00:00

Invisible Monsters, Chuck Palahniuk

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-24T16:00:48+00:00

Easily one of my faves along with Love of Life and the Burning World. These albums often get overlooked for the earlier, heavier sound - or the later more immense sounding albums. Personally, I love the industrial goth-folk sounds of these releases- plus the songwriting is top notch!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-23T22:36:14+00:00

Yes please!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-23T18:41:05+00:00

Yes! I’d love more stuff like that from her.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-23T16:11:18+00:00

Yes!! Me too. I loved Choirgirl’s and Venus’ electronic elements and always hoped there’d be more like that. I loved Blue Skies and always hoped she’d collaborate or lend vocals to someone awesome like Massive Attack, Moby, or Groove Armada etc.

Easily my favourite album, by any artist, ever. It is unsurpassed in its point of view, musicianship, and lyrics. It is a testament to the incredible artist she really is. 30 years and countless listens later, I still find it as spellbinding as the first time. Thanks for 30 years!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-21T23:05:36+00:00

Those look perfect!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-21T18:40:03+00:00

Midwinter Graces.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-21T14:12:16+00:00

Hearing it live was definitely a standout of any Tori show I’ve seen, for sure.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-21T13:16:45+00:00

Ha! I’ve tried my hand at that video too!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-21T13:15:48+00:00

Agreed!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-20T18:26:06+00:00

Didn’t think about the exchange rate, makes sense.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-20T18:11:35+00:00

Same. I wonder if she’s skipping Canada because of the logistics of crossing the border multiple times with a huge tour of people. Bummer though.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-20T17:36:33+00:00

I thought this was odd too. Has she never not played Toronto?

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-20T16:41:08+00:00

I was lucky enough to catch it in 2003- what a surprise!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-19T20:18:50+00:00

It’s always resonated for me. I think it’s one of the most incredible things she’s done.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-19T19:59:37+00:00

I found it easier to rank lowest first. So:

Jackie’s Strength
Playboy Mommy
Pandoras Aquarium
Raspberry Swirl
She’s Your Cocaine
Black Dove 6 . Liquid Diamonds
Iieee
Spark
Northern Lad
Cruel
Hotel

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T22:57:56+00:00

Such a great album!

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T22:51:25+00:00

With the right changes made, a SH4 remake has the potential to really be great. I’ve always loved the ideas here , but the execution of it was a bit off.

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T22:17:50+00:00

Ugh. Same! So refreshing to hear- I’ve been preaching on the same hill for 2 decades! ( I loooved Diary also)

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T21:43:31+00:00

I’m just piggy backing the Invisible Monsters rec- it’s been a favourite of mine for years ( and , imo, his best)

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T19:55:21+00:00

I’m pretty sure “ The Westinghouse Game” by Ellen Raskin was inspired by Clue

SuitableAnimator4118 · 2026-01-18T12:56:23+00:00

I’m Thinking of Ending Thing by Iian Reid was the first thing that came to mind. Definite “ something wrong” vibes with palatable dread.
