Similarly such as anathema to Alcest now remove 100% of their metallic roots and make anno 2014 strongly shoegaze studded, atmospheric dreamy guitar pop with the occasional something harder guitar sounds a little come to the fore but vocally, the pacing, - easy in all Aspenkten - prevails total monotony.
Not a bad monotony but it is monotony - and that's enough to give rise to boredom.
Relaxing music, here and there but to indulge the person's soul is missing for me the madness album Les voyages de l'ame dwelt.
Expressed Brutal I'd say the new album is a fabric softener sheet even if they really a couple of nice moments has as the very beautiful title track and the epic "Delivrance" which both still manage to produce similar feelings and moods as the songs but the last two Albem that's clear enough.
I have a couple of times statements like "should not disappoint any fans of the old" or something like that.
At least for me, I can say that this is not true. I am quite disappointed, even though I knew that it would go in this direction. But sometimes you would like to be wrong ...
Songs like opals should rather captivate fans of Coldplay as a die-hard supporters Alcest.
Three stars for at least two songs that still give the impression and hope stir that the name of the masterminds results not only thrown together by chance otherwise "genius".
I hope that I will think the next album again and say although I frankly doubt it strongly and I rather now to a situation where it will go on into the shallow direction.
