Running out of ideas??? sorry for my opinion since you asked to someone else but im listening the new alcest album since 3 or 4 weeks ago, I personaly think its amazing, the musics are wonderful, beautiful and calm, I can't compare with Écailles because it's very different, another atmosphere and another perspective, but the melodies are simply beautiful, i don't think a person running out of ideas would make such a beautiful album. Là Où Naissent les Couleurs Nouvelles is one of the highlights in this album imo, but you can disconsider everything i said, im not a huge alcest fan, but i appreciate his work, a lot.
As always, I remember and reminiscence about the nineties Theatre of Tragedy - Fair & 'Guling Copesmate Death
I think it's a great album, definatly one of those albums where you have to listen to all or none of it. Which is something I personally prefer. I don't know if I can say it's better or worse then the previously albums, it's pretty different though.
It's good, but not better than. A few stand out moments, but I think it's boring for the most part. Adagio - Sanctus Ignis - Great record. Underrated. Akercocke - Antichrist
Jesu - We All Faulter S/T (2004) I'm all for this "raw" sound on metal albums, but they kind of ruined some songs with excessively loud bass clipping. It's too intrusive, and I am most certainly not some kind of an audiophile but I do appreciate good sound quality Anyway, this whole album is pure gold compared to their last release...
Mortiis - Monolith The Smell Of Rain (2001) Great album, forgotten masterpiece. I'm looking forward to the new one.
