Mylène and forced to sound after hit ...

Monkey Me (Deluxe Version) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

As it is now, the new, again 100% -Boutonnat album of love Mylène. For me, it is unfortunately still a step below "Avant que l'ombre" and "Point de suture" (which in turn one level below their predecessors were). Some I miss here just feel a whole album, because each song is so trimmed off it to sound like a catchy hit. In "Love Dance" I had inevitably once even laugh, the song is indeed infectious and has a good atmosphere, but sounds much more like a poor imitation of "Sois-moi (Be Me)".

So I feel with most songs. Many would probably not really so bad if they had not been there in Mylene's repertoire so often. In the middle of a lot of songs sound like after a reverberation of "Anamorphosée" ("J'ai essayé de vivre" above all) a little copy of Alizée ("Monkey Me", so in the end but again copy by itself, however, this title still one of the strongest of the album), then towards the end, especially in the mood and very instrumentalization by "Innamoramento" ("A force de ..."). "A Ton jamais" sounds like a one on one poor imitation of "réveiller le monde" of "Point de suture".

Pretty much most striking is "Nuit d'hiver", a new interpretation of their song "Chloe" from 1986. Here, however, is probably the liveliest in turn related to their works from the '80s, especially in the sound of the song rather than the text, or slightly different melody. Funny actually, that I think the best song that even a (conscious) is really remake of an earlier songs. In the context I must also say that the anyway not as strongly implemented "À l'ombre" even sounds here strongly.

A real disaster has occurred here with "Ici-bas". No, no, how can such a thing be? Mylène has made many good songs, some mediocre, whereas long and so far nothing comes then all alone at the end of "On est tous of imbéciles" came. But precisely this song Society has found. Reminiscent of instrumental ago to something nameless DJ Bobo and "Summer Rain" by Milk Inc. and also has a so so annoying, is withdrawing, trivial melody! So please be no more!

With most songs, the melodies are really actually very well done, but so violent sounding after 90s make arrangements so pretty much destroyed ("Elle a dit", "À l'ombre", the former might but certainly still work). Also, many of the songs heard on very equal, which I have some difficulties to distinguish one from the other. They are all (as so often told) so trimmed off to conspicuously sounding that they no longer do so as a whole already. My by far most critical review of an album icon Mylène Farmer. And with the best will, I can unfortunately only do something where I never thought that I could ever do. Only 3 stars.

My favorites:
"Nuit d'hiver"
"A force de ..."
"Je te dis tout"
"Monkey Me"
