Adam And The Ants Review / Cocteau Twins Preview (Album 5)

(Adam preview here) Adam And The Ants...Where to start. It's actually pretty cool. I think though, that its really one of those albums that was really really cool, and now, it is less cool. Some of the songs are really pop-esque, like Dog Eat Dog and Antmusic. Other songs seem to be a little experimental. The sound in all the songs is really cool, and is nicely combined with Adam's voice in most of the album. The tribal drums in the first song are really snazzy. I won't be listening to any of the songs I don't like probably ever again. The songs I do like though, those are pretty cool and will stick around.

Favorite Songs
     Dog Eat Dog
     Jolly Roger

Moving into familiar territory (1990s):

Album: Heaven Or Las Vegas
Artist: Cocteau Twins
Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas

Release Year: 1990

"This was the strongest and most cohesive set of songs the Twins had released since 1984's Treasure. Gone was the trademark ghostly, muted album artwork. Instead, the cover features a colorful swash of Vegas neon swirling against a deep blue and red sky. Similarly, the sound of Heaven... is warmer and more inviting." - Rob Morton

Sounds like weird 90s jam. Early, early 90s jam. So, still recovering from the 80s jam.
