Agreed never ever a dip in quality. People just don't normally love the "blackgaze" style a lot but this band is just on another level of brilliance.

Shelter is the weakest link of their studio full-lengths, but it's still excellent, especially because of Voix Sereine and Délivrance.

I can understand the dislike for Shelter, but it does it for me.

The two songs that I named alone make a third of that album's runtime. On top of that, there isn't one weak track on it (all are decent at least), and furthermore it's probably Alcest's most well-rounded album as the mood flows seamlessly from song to song. But, like I said, I too think that it is their weakest effort and I kinda understand why one would find it sort of boring.

Agreed with Rik, also bonus track Into The Waves is incredible.



So stoked to see them tomorrow.

Shelter is like finding a shining golden chest, opening it up to find it empty, and realizing the chest itself is only made of like 1/10 inch thick 10 karat gold. So you're like yay gold, but...

Wooooooooooo! This is the quickest I've ever 5'd an album. Most of my 5's took a while to be realized.

Quickest for me was probably Ocean Machine or Les Discrets, timing was just perfect on that one.

I know. I heard Alcest's songs from the split, but, yeah... I'm a terrible person.

Gonna spin it this weekend and see what's up. Is it blackgaze?

I think it's a special one, you definitely need to hear it dbizzles. It's blackgaze I would say, kind of similar to Alcest but with a darker tone and acoustic guitars.
