Oct 28, 20129Alcest create a limbo lounge for souls weighed down by life's heaviness on these "voyages of the soul", and once acoustically settled in it is an amazingly dark yet beautiful journey through the blackness of uncertainty to the promise of light. But isnt' that what life's about?

Sep 11, 201210As a metal fan I'm just shocked how good this album is. It's a deep traveling album and you don't need to be a metal fan to love. It's just pure music that never ceases to amaze me. I've listened to this more than anything to date in 2012 (written 9/11/12) and it just keeps getting better. You should own this.

Jan 23, 20139I hit this just by coincidence searching for best albums of year 2012. This is a really good listen for a metal fan. Great mix of various sub-genres. The only negative thing about is that I don't know French and cannot understand the lyrics. I wish I could find some English translation.

Feb 15, 201269Here, when everything's as clear as it is on Les Voyages de l'Âme, he feels almost too exposed, and the big climaxes he's reaching for don't arrive. There's no denying the beauty, but it feels weirdly muted-- or perhaps just unsurprising.
