the Cocteau Twins lost me a little bit on here with the opening songs. they harken back to their darker days. once "Half-gifts" and "Rilkean Heart" sunk in, i was more assured in this album. "Seekers Who are Lovers" is also an outstanding cut. overall, this album has seen alot less play time than "Blue Bell Knoll" or "Heaven or Las Vegas", but still a wonderful album from a wonderful band.
