Reviews Customer Reviews for Victorialand      The "Lost" Treasure      Rating:      I've been a CT fan for a while, but I never heard of this album until I revisited my collection and noticed I was missing this one. What an unbelievable find! The lack of the drum machine is refreshing and allows the guitar and vocals to dominate, which is the best part of CT anyways.     Customer Reviews for Victorialand Cd      Rightfully, though perhaps a little too gently, continues legacy      Rating:      Short album which continues to articulate that singular Cocteau aesthetic, composed between the shimmering guitars and ethereal female vocals found lingering throughout. Opening with some of their most obvious beauty, it becomes noticeable somewhere through the middle of this album that the haunting melodic sense which usually provides staggering counterpoint to this vocalist seems underdeveloped, sometimes taking their minimal approach down a partially mechanical route, but nearly everything becomes salvaged with exceptional production values for the time highlighting the many facets to this diamond-like music. In the final few songs, the Twins again justify another album experience with greater consuming dynamics, making Victorialand yet another snap-shot of a sound long lost.
