Music reviews of Heaven Or Las Vegas

Music Review: Their best since album Treasure
Rating: 5 Stars

After truly classic albums such as Treasure and Head Over Heels and also some parts of Blue Bell Knoll Cocteau's just
happened to create their most delicious album in their marvellous career. Heaven Or Las Vegas begins with
Cherry coloured-funk and Guthie's guitar work offers Elizabeth begin on low notes and in the chorus she puts out the most hookable vocal works of the whole album. Though Cherry Coloured-funk is quite simple, its melody sounds extremely classic and it is very memorable as well.
Pitch the Baby, Fifty-fifty Clown are all high standard Twin's songs with great ambitions. The Single Iceblink Luck and title track Heaven or Las Vegas are both the two tracks that describe best the albums sound scape. Especially the title track is massively produced and really worth hearing.

As with all their great albums Heaven or Las Vegas has also good songs placed in the B-side of the album, there are real
treasures there like Wolf in the Breast, I Wear Your Ring, Fotzepolitic and definitely gorgeous Frou-Frou Foxes in Mid-Summer Fires.
Like Musette and Drums there's same kind of feeling, though Frou-frou is more comfortable with larger scale of vocal work
of Liz and therefore much more harmony all over the song.

For a superb group that Cocteau Twins were one would've hoped they'd never broke so secretly and with some kind of
dissappointed feelings due to the release of Milk & Kisses -96. Their last recording for 4AD is for me their last huge album
although beautiful stuff kept coming untill the very end.
