you can hear what she says very clearly its just that her words are too big for you

The problem is not the size of her words, it's often the references to literary works that goes over my head.

I actually refuse to look up the lyrics to this album because I feel like that would take something away from the experience

James Bradfield would purposely obscure his vocals because he wanted people to have to read the lyric book.

Also the first line of the chorus in Archives of Pain is "Kill Yeltsin, Hussein, Zhirinovsky, Le Pen", but it was changed to "Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?" instead because he gained dictatorship of Iraq two months before release

Are we talking about Joanna Newsom or Cocteau Twins right now?
>>
>>62475117
I came here to post this exact thing. Magma and zeuhl in general
>>
>>62476666
wow quads.
cocteau twins, i forget her name is linda fraser or something, she would some times use non words as lyrcis or something. It sounds like bullshit on paper but she was so expressive it's unbelievably artistic. I know sigur ros has the balls to try this as well but I can't think of anyone other than cocteau twins who can really pull it off

Have you not read up on Cocteau Twins at all? Elizabeth Fraser is all about "vocalizations" rather than lyrics. It's beautiful.

Her lyrics maybe comparatively straight-forward, but their meaning is hidden under many layers of reverb.
