The atmospheric sound, crafted around Robin Guthrie's creative use of distorted guitars, tape loops,and echo boxes; and the hypnotic, ethereal vocal stylings of Liz Frazier have become so common in electronic music that we often foget it all started with the Cocteau Twins.</span>"<br /> - <span class="user-mention"><a href="/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=GavinB">@GavinB</a></span> (Rating: 95/100)<br /> ________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> "<span style="font-style: italic">Turbulent, romantic, and fiercely feminine, this album never fails to blow me away. I heard it for the first time as a teen reading Wuthering Heights and thought it was the perfect soundtrack for that book. And I stand by that. The sound is forceful, emotionally raw, and so very BIG. It is stylistically similar to gothic rock (powerful drums, jangly guitars, reverb reverb reverb) but much more sophisticated. This is probably my favourite album ever. No description can do it justice.</span>"<br /> - <span class="user-mention"><a href="/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=LittleONegative">@LittleONegative</a></span> (Rating: 100/100)<br /> ________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> <span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-9" style="line-height: normal"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">About album of the day:</span></span> The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours.
