I would’ve def voted frou frou high

arguably the reverb is on too high. i get that. i'm tolerant of high reverb, others aren't. (others who can't appreciate a heavenly fucking thing when th-)

― brimstead,

when i read this, i immediately think

we need a re-poll

these are different times. this is 2021!!!

you know what, though, now that it's 10 minutes later and i've sobered up, i recognize that the vast majority of my top 20 appeared in the top 40 of this poll. also, ALL of these songs are so lovely. i'm smitten. i was kidding about my aggro thing, it's a silly thing because cocteau twins are so NON-aggressive and it really hits the spot for me sometimes (a person who sometimes goes aggressive, i have to admit, when i care, because goddammit! etc, but cocteau twins are the other side of that, just the real good stuff for me. <3 oof oof

the whole album is chilling in the sauna and then rolling around in the snow

I'm still sore that Eperdu placed at #82

Stumbled across this on YT and was startled to see that Will Heggie played *fretless* bass, which I can hear on the early records now that I know to listen for it.

Frou-Frou Foxes is a good song, but it is best heard as the capstone to the Heaven or Las Vegas album. It sacrifices its quality as a song to the greater good of the entire record.
