Análisis (en inglés) - :
Those hearing {^Garlands} for the first time who only know the band's other material will likely be more than a little surprised. Whereas the typical vision of {$the Twins} is of beautiful washes of sounds and exultant vocals from {$Fraser}, on {^Garlands} the trio is still only part of the way there. Instead, the best comparison points are to {$the Cure} on {^Faith} and {^Pornography}, perhaps {^Metal Box}-era {$PiL}, a touch of {$Joy Division} here and there -- in sum, deep, heavy mood verging on doom and gloom. Bassist {$Will Heggie}, in the only full album he did with {$the Twins}, clearly follows the {$Peter Hook}/{$Simon Gallup} style of low, ominous throb, while {$Guthrie}'s guitar work more often than not screeches loudly than shimmers. {$Fraser}'s singing has a starker edge, unsettling even at its most accessible, sometimes completely disturbing at other times. The strongest track, {&"Wax and Wane,"} has the trio creating a powerful but also surprisingly danceable track, the crisp drumbox beat working against {$Guthrie}'s compelling atmospherics and {$Fraser}'s vocal hook in the chorus. Beyond that and a couple of other moments, though, {^Garlands} falters due to something the band generally avoided in the future -- overt repetition. Too many of the songs rely on a unified formula that rarely changes; one need only compare to the multiplicity of styles tried on {^Head Over Heels} to see the difference. As a debut effort, though, {^Garlands} makes its own curious mark, preparing the band for greater heights. Import CD versions contain a complete {$John Peel} session from 1983, with guest vocals from {$Cindytalk}'s {$Gordon Sharpe}, which has since been re-released as part of the {^BBC Sessions} package. Two other rarities, {&"Speak No Evil"} and the fine {&"Perhaps Some Other Aeon,"} complete the release. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
