Haven't heard the whole thing, but the couple of songs I have heard are awesome .
By the way, I like that you make a "summary" statement halfway through the review :p .

Okayish album nice to listen to once in a while, but that's it for me. Musically well-played and all so I do agree with the rating. But I think that this album will be soon forgotten by most people. This wopn't achieve the cult stauts of their mini (which I found okay but nothing special too)

Not to my liking, they should have put some harsh vocals on this album to.. It gets to mellow imo. Le Secret is their masterpiece, this is just an album that I wont even buy..
Im putting my faith in Niege's Amesoeurs project instead.

Yeah man, I listened to this expecting black metal, because I had never heard Alcest before, and I was real disappointed

Altough I totally dont cope with the genre classification, I agree with your review. It's really a great release, and I look forward to his forthcoming ones.

Definitely going to buy it, but maybe they shouldn't have left the BM scene (that quickly).
And from the reviews I'm currently reading, Le Secret is indeed their/his masterpiece.

Neige aint a woman, the vocalist in the song Le Secret is though.

A fuckin great album indeed... It actually gives me the impression of a mixture of Fleurety ('min tid skal komme', which are more obvious on their 'le secret' release) and Agalloch..... Well they're actually brilliant and this is definatelly a trully great album worth buying...

lol@Neige being a woman, although, neige (which means snow in French) is a feminine noun. Anyways, still an amazing album, I thought.

Funny... I don't really consider this album metal at all, much like I don't really consider Lifelover metal.. it makes me wonder how its even at the top of 2007... oh well

I find it strange that this is the best metal album although I think this is a brilliant release and beautiful in many ways. I just dont see how it can compete with symphony x and dark tranquillity in the metal albums.
That being said, I think this album is a must-have for music/melody lovers.

Why couldn't it compete with Syhmphony X or DT?
You say it is a brilliant release, but at the same time bash it because it can't be better than a well-known band's release.
I'm trying to understand your point

Im not bashing the band at all. I just think that they are not just made of metal. But then again the other bands have other elements as well. So yes my idea before wasnt very thought out. If Anathema can be in the best metal records list even when their last albums are rock Alcest can too.
And it wasnt about the well-known bands you know, I just mentioned those two because in my opinion they really deserve to be amongst the best of the year, it was an example. The question that they are not as well-known has nothing to do with it. I do think that Alcest's album isnt as good as the others to be in the first place of the list and thats a personal opinion, no-one can take that from me.

Of course it's your opinion
I have to agree with you about the point that Alcest isn't really about metal (and it's classified as Black Metal in MS ). It's similar to shoegaze, in vain of My Bloody Valentine.
The top charts only show the albums in numerical order and leave out the musical side. So it's a bad way to compare them, because musically all those releases are quite different, although they're all in metal genre.
