96年的Milk And Kisses（牛奶和吻）的音乐就如专辑名一样，如丝绸般交织出甜美的旋涡。很多Cocteau Twins老的乐迷对这种平民化的改变表示失望，但也有很多CT迷十分忠爱。CT的音乐和它的歌词一样不断地受到争议。但随着最后两张EP的发行，CT在新的专辑制作过程中悄然解散。留给世间的是八张专辑，十张EP。 　　by Heather Phares 　　 Throughout the '80s, Cocteau Twins created some of the most beautiful and innovative music of the decade. Liz Fraser's uncanny, gossamer voice and Robin Guthrie's shimmery guitar work both garnered acclaim and inspired bands. Milk & Kisses finds the band in a comfortable rut; they've created, and now perfected, a style of music so distinctive that there seems to be little recent creative growth. The result is a beautiful, lush, but somewhat dated and unengaging sounding album that tends to wash over the listener without making any real impact. It is, however, everything that a Cocteau Twins album promises; hypnotic, dreamy, awash in ethereal voices, and delicate, liquid guitars. "Tishbite" in particular delivers an accessible dream pop sound that sounds nice while it's playing but fails to have anything really memorable about it, a problem that plagues most of Milk & Kisses. "Half-Gifts," "Rilkean Heart," and "Treasure Hiding" have an airy, otherwordly prettiness to them -- but that's about it. Necessary for Cocteau Twins diehards and potentially interesting to those that have never heard the band before, Milk & Kisses says nothing, but says it beautifully.
