New Alcest Track

[J.]

speaking of alcest, it's uncanny how much Le Secret sells for on eBay. i think i paid $13 for mine.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I knew not to expect Le Secret when the new one came out. Isn't that why you read reviews?

 

[JayKeeley]

yes, my wife likes the new alcest.

thing is, do people actually dislike it based on the music of JUST the album, without Le Secret or the black metal demo having any bearing on it? methinks people just wanted an expanded Le Secret.

Conversely, people would have dismissed this had it NOT been Alcest.

Conversely, people would have dismissed this had it NOT been Alcest.

Dismissed before or after hearing it?

 

[JayKeeley]

Dismissed before or after hearing it?

After, I suppose. Had this been the Alcest debut, or something released by "band xyz", I'm not sure if people would have given it this much opportunity to sink in.

It's an ok album. I like it more with each spin. Right now I'd give it a 7/10.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I guess then the question is, who are these people you're talking about? I don't think most RC'ers would have dismissed it after hearing it. Maybe I just give us more credit.

 

[JayKeeley]

I guess then the question is, who are these people you're talking about?

Whoever J is referring to as people "disliking" it? Perhaps a few of the 14 people who wrote the reviews at Metal Archives or the folks at RC who think it sucks. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.

 

[Evil?]

A friend of mine thinks the name Le Secret is hilarious.

 

[skeptik]

I think it is too.

"Hey...hey. Pssst. Come here. I have le secret to tell you."

 

[Reign in Acai]

The one time I listened to it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. With that being said, I never intend to listen to it again.

Not in the mood for shoegaze, and if I were, this would not be where I would turn.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Uhhhhhhh what? I fully intend to sell "Le Secret" for $300 once this band blows up even further. (Yes, I have seen it go for that much.) In turn, I shall buy 30 albums of ball blistering methull, and reclaim the masculinity lost by following this act's soft and steady decline.

 

[Ellestin]

the new album is essentially shoegaze. the wrong kind.

 

[einride]

i've been trying to listen to the "souvenirs" album lately and it annoys the shit out of me

so fucking wimpy

 

[Ellestin]

so fucking wimpy

Neige is wimpy. It's not just an act believe me.

 

[einride]

oh i'm quite sure. he's french after all.

 

[Reign in Acai]

New song, I'll opine after this beating I'm taking from Solstafir.




Edit - Made it half way through, fuck this.

 

[Ellestin]

We've already planned to use a couple sections from Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde in our wedding

awesome, videotape that plz
