ALCEST appreciation thread[views:3272][posts:18]_______________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:04pm - blue ""] this album is what defines 'beautiful' music for me. [img] |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:13pm - archaeon ""] i enjoy this CD very much. I'll be listening to this when i go to sleep tonight. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:22pm - boblovesmusic ""] I second/third this statement! |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:32pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Josh Staples exposed me to the wonderfulness that is Alcest. Appreciated. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:33pm - Martins ""] I must one day download this and decide if I love it or really love it. By download, I mean buy. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:56pm - goatcatalyst ""] Such a grand listen. "Le Secret" is a bit harsher, but no less sublime. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 20,2008 10:57pm - blue ""] i prefer my alcest without the ghey, but that one is damn good as well. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 20,2008 11:02pm - goatcatalyst ""] I still haven't assigned a Kinsey-esque rating to Amesoeurs. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2008 9:17am - dreadkill ""] i love that album too |
| _______________________________ [Oct 21,2008 9:23am - aril ""] I've always liked Alcest. Le Secret is much better imo. check out the earlier stuff before Le Secret too. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:23pm - Yeti ""] i finally took the time to listen to this band, i heard most of "Souvenirs..", what a fucking snoozefest. completely overrated. it had some cool melodies, and the guy definitely knows what he is doing, but the vocals were atrocious. He sounds like a bored Billy Corgan. How the fuck is this considered "black metal"? Is the newest album dramatically different or something? |

| _____________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:33pm - Yeti ""] maybe the other stuff would appeal to me, but that was painful to sit through. i didn't find any of the "melancholy beauty and sadness" i had read about in reviews, i just found monumentally boring songs with Billy Corgan singing. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:35pm - reimroc ""] alcest is awesome. so is slowdive. basically the only two bands i listen to from this genre of music. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:42pm - arilliusbm ""] Le Secret is what got him the deal. Hear that first. Th new album is a mixture between both, but similar to the first. Alcest is a unique sound that definitely won't appeal to everyone. Les Discrets might be more down your alley; some songs have opeth influences. And Billy Corgan? I hear Enya, My Bloody Valentine and Ride. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:46pm - DreadKill ""] listen to amesoeurs and lantlos too |
| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:46pm - DreadKill ""] or a pussy is you |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 2,2010 3:51pm - arilliusbm ""] yea, those too. I still think it's funny how alest exploded. when le secret came out it had rave reviews. I think it was initially released on 1000 copies I believe but that quickly changed. It's been rereleased and remastered now, right? |
