    Great music, pretty good vinyl
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2020*

I love the music on this darkest of the Twins material. This 2020 remaster and vinyl pressing is good, if a little noisy. The vinyl shows a fair amount of groove rush and some pops and clicks here and there. I wish 4AD used MPO as their pressing house like they used to....The cover is nicely printed on semigloss stock, the inner sleeve is a nice anti static paper/plastic affair, and mine came with a download card which allowed for CD-res flac files.For those who care about sound quality: the 24/96 stream on Qobuz sounds like the best version to my ears (smooth and dynamic), followed by this LP, then the original CD and finally the download that I got with this purchase (which is quite compressed and sounds a bit harsh). I do not have any previous vinyl pressings to compare, but my guess is the original European LPs would be the best sounding versions if you can get your hands on one.

    A LOST CLASSIC
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013*

This album will almost certainly not be embraced by the majority of people who came to the Cocteau Twins late in the game via Blue Bell Knoll or Heaven and Las Vegas. Given that the Cocteau Twins (though critical darlings and definitely influential) are still more or less a CULT band after all these years - their reputation no greater than when they first began - this anomaly in their catalog is truly an underrated masterpiece. It is a lost classic in the POST PUNK and GOTH ROCK genres, easily holding it's own against  Joy Division's UNKNOWN PLEASURES, Siouxsie and the Banshee's KALEiDOSCOPE and Bauhaus' IN THE FLAT FIELD. Although it has a unique, turgid sound and might actually be more arty than any of those albums, with it's single minded emphasis on dirge and moonrock textures. If you are not a fan of Goth, Post Punk or brittle bands like P.I.L. or early Gene Loves Jezebel - I'd stay away. All other newcomers, Listen in the dark and get swallowed.

    The intoxicating sludge clearer songs had yet to emerge from
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2008*

In 1982, Cocteau Twins already had the murky, shimmering wall of guitar sound they were looking for.  Back then, the noise was distorted and feedback laden. The vocals were unharmonized and close to decipherable. Liz sang in her haunting mid-range, and the music was minimal, underwritten and dark, relying on only a couple alternating melodies for each song's duration.Comparisons to Joy Division and The Cure make some sense, although this album has a chaotic, wicked, mysterious delirium about it that those bands never captured, opting instead for bleak, intense depression.  This is the only album in the Cocteau's entire catalog that is completely the missing positive, lilting shoegazer hit material such as "Pearly Dewdrop's Drops" and "Sugar Hiccup".  Their new age, "dreamy" soft white aesthetic had yet to emerge.This is not the say "Garlands" is one-dimensional; far from it.  If anything, the vague, unrefined simplicity of these slabs of distortion makes them more open to interpretation than the much catchier songs on the two albums that came after this, "Head Over Heels" and "Treasure".As always with this band, it's Liz's vocal performance that makes the album.  She proves that even though the intense harmonization (5+ voices at once) of later albums is incredibly beautiful, it is not necessary.  Her singing here slides up and down in pitch, and warbles with emotion in that distinctly Scottish way.  Each Cocteau Twins album had its own vocal style, but here is the only time we hear her voice unaltered, singular and clean, and for this reason alone this album is worth it for any fan of hers.The album is enjoyable as a whole, although not diverse like "Head Over Heels" or "Treasure" (after that they adopted a more thematic approach to structuring albums).  Highlight tracks include the dizzyingly strange "Wax and Wane", the emotionally indescribable "Blind Dumb Deaf" and probably the catchiest track on the album, "But I'm Not".The remastered production is as clear as it is possible to make this kind of music.In conclusion, even if the band did improve exponentially with age (as this reviewer believes they did), Cocteau Twins' debut album "Garlands" is a great album on its own merits, they had yet to find their sound, but this sound has an appeal all its own.
