Album Rating: 5.0

Haha no kidding. Plus, the harsh vocals here are as good or better delivered than they've ever been, imo. Such a great contrast to the softer parts and perfectly compliments the rest.

I agree about the the delivery, I noticed that kind of howl at the end of a lot of the screams, it really adds a lot to it.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

The screams on here remind me of his work with Lantlôs. They sound much more inhuman than on, say, Écailles

Album Rating: 5.0

Probably #2 Alcest.

Album Rating: 4.5

I think it's my #1 Alcest...I think...

Album Rating: 5.0

It's mine. But, Acailles de lune is as good.

Album Rating: 5.0

Les Voyages de l'Âme remains my favorite. I don't understand how its avg is so low.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Yeah it's amazing despite not flowing as well as their others.

Album Rating: 5.0

It definitely doesn't have as many highs as this or Ecallies

Album Rating: 5.0

Still really good though. I jammed beings of light earlier. Actually played Souvenirs all the way through for the first time in a while too. Forgot how good it is.

Album Rating: 4.5

Dudes ... I think Shelter is fucking fantastic. Love the entire discography.

Album Rating: 5.0

I just jammed Voyages in full and man the first two tracks are godsends. The rest is extremely solid, I actually don't like Beings Of Light haha

Album Rating: 5.0

It's definitely not the best song on there lol something about it just feels so epic. Like a final battle scene between celestial bodies.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Les Voyages t/t and Faiseurs du Monde are easily on par with the best moments of Écailles and this imo. The last 2 minutes of either track belong to the most beautiful things I've ever heard

"Les Voyages de l'Âme remains my favorite. I don't understand how its avg is so low."





Yeah that average isn't right in my opinion either.

Album Rating: 5.0

My best guess is people think it's a step down from Écailles de Lune which was pretty hard to top, so comparing the two could lead to a lower average rating. I think it's a fantastic album.



EDIT: I had to double check but I have this, Ecailles, and Voyages all at 4.5. It's too hard for me to choose a favorite of those 3.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Voyages and Shelter both need to have higher averages for sure, they're 4+ material

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Yeah I think so too, like I've said before I was bitter at Shelter at first because I assumed they would sound that way going forward, now I appreciate it a lot more. I like that they move forward with whatever sound is right for them at the time.

Album Rating: 5.0

so okay this is my first Alcest and it is amaaazing



Might be a weird opinion but Onyx is actually my favorite, it's like the perfect epilogue song

Album Rating: 5.0

Glad you like this. Onyx grew on me, but it's still just kind of there.
