Looks like E̶c̶a̶i̶l̶l̶e̶s̶ Kodama will continue to stand unbeaten

There, fixed it for you pika

Album Rating: 5.0

I remember how in awe I felt when I heard each single from Kodama prior to release, and I am not feeling that with these new tracks. Part of that might have been the fact that Shelter had come out prior to Kodama, and it wasn't exactly clear that Alcest would return to the earlier style with screams again, bringing in quite a bit of excitement. With that being said though, these tracks are still awesome, it'll definitely be a solid follow-up record from the sound of it, and more of the same is definitely not a negative at all, given how stunning Kodama is.

Owh if the quality is there, give me more of the same a hundred times over!

Sorry, Scheumke, this is great and all, but I definitely prefer Ecailles over this. So dang pretty.

Album Rating: 4.0

I think I'm in Team Ecailles too. Although this, as you can see, comes damn near close for me.

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah nothing here comes close to Ecailles t/t

I'm not too sure about the new track, Sapphire. A bit tame.

Album Rating: 4.0

It's ok. I quite like the parts at 2:06 and 3:49. Still below their standards though.



Btw, a bit of translation from french :



1. Les jardins de minuit = The midnight gardens

4. L'Île des Morts = Island of the dead

5. Le Miroir = The mirror

Ecailles all the way, but it’s close and both are two of the best albums of the decade.

I could definitely see Ecailles being included on decade lists

hot take: ecailles de lune only has 1 truly classic song, and it's the t/t pt.1

"why do you not like Alcest? I'm very surprised by this"



i would say overall i do like them, i guess just not as much as everyone else



tbf i don't think they've released a bad album yet (new one isn't shaping to be promising but we'll see)



i just dont think they've released a classic album either
