| Even though St?phane is being often credited as the "inventor" of this blackened shoegaze movement, Alcest fails to deliver anything new on this album to refresh the genre. There just isn't much variety in between the songs, entire album feels like one big track that feels like it goes on forever and ever and ever... . There is this big lack of anything special that would keep me wondering and craving for more or even hit the replay button. Nada. If you're a fan of everything Alcest did before, you will love this album. There is this same sound, same vocals, same everything. But if you expected something new, you'll be extremely disappointed. |
