Victorialand is probably the most disappointing of The Cocteau's 4AD records, I reckon. The debut Garlands is perhaps a little too in awe of Siouxsie & The Banshees. Having said that both albums do have their charms.Treasure's mos def in their top 4, for me anyway. I remember being underwhelmed by Four Calendar Cafe though after the brilliant Heaven Or Las Vegas.
