SI ON AVAIT BESOIN D'UNE CINQUIÈME SAISON

I don't see this album as a masterpiece. Some of the shorter songs are too plain to make it that for me.

Vert is a pleasant opener. It does the job of setting the stage for the album. I really like it. 8.5/10

Dixie doesn't do it for me. It is not awful, but it gets me out of the flow that I just got into with Vert 6.5/10

Depuis L Automne Elevates when the mellotron kicks in. Heavy King Crimson vibes. 7.5/10

En Plein Face is the other short track that doesn't really do it for me. It's ok, but it doesn't contribute to making this album a possible masterpiece for me. 7/10

Histoires Sans Paroles gives me King Crimson Lizard vibes. The mellotron, the length of the track, and the progression all bring me into that similar mood. A pleasant mood to be in. But while I enjoy listening to it, it also gives me the urge to listen to Lizard instead. For me the superior epic. It's still awesome though. 8.5/10

This album is widely regarded as a prog masterpiece. I guess I think it is good. But for the real stuff, I'd suggest giving Lizard of King Crimson a spin. A record created 5 years before this one.

3 stars out of 5. Good, but not essential.
