Yay! Only 1 review before mine and it's 1 star! That's unfair and smells like bashing!

3.5 stars go to MONA LISA's "Grimaces" - the first album I heard from them. Interesting enough and even enjoyable, but beware - this is French Theatrical Art Rock, and acquired taste is needed to rate it fairly. Music is influnced both by shanson-like insane singing and cirkus perfomance atmosphere and songs. Add a huge pile of GENESIS here. and you'll get an album-long "Harold the Burrel" ;) Seriously, if you like QUEEN and GENESIS theatrical fleur and can imagine it on French (with a noticable dose of French avant as well), don't hesitate much. I'll definetely check the other ones from MONA LISA avalaible in my area and return with my further impressions. Recommended!
