LE BESTIAIRE

After their previous album Malicorne gradually disconnected with me. First of all because their song writing steadily declined, not even half of the songs here should have passed their quality control. Secondly, I found their performance to become less and less inspired and intense. Maybe they put too much effort and focus on perfecting their sound. The result is an album that is surely well produced but without the songs to match it, it is a bit of an empty shell.

Songs like Les Sept Jours De Mai, La Mule, La Chasse Gallery and Alexandre are very enjoyable and Jean Des Loups is a nice try at more progressive song writing. Unfortunately, the good moments don't add up to half an album of good material.
