Genre: Indie-folk
Release Date: April 5, 2005
What You'll Love:
- Beautiful and heartfelt performances from all members of the band
- Great concept regarding a melancholy present and an optimism for the future
- Incredible use of countermelody
- Elements of 2000s electronica adds emotional buildups to already emotional pieces
- Expertly composed; adding all of the right touches in the right places
- Just about the perfect blend of textures (something that the genre often misses)
- Despite being a French band, it's English lyrics are above average and, at times, inspirational
- Simple, but thoughtful album artwork
- "Lost Bird" feels a little sub-par compared to the other great compositions on the album.
- As a whole, the album has very little variation in dynamics or meter.
- The hidden track feels incredibly out of place. It doesn't "match" the rest of the album's style which hurts what's clearly a concept album.
- Smashing Pumpkins ballads such as "By Starlight," "Spaceboy," "Galapogos," etc. but with better sung vocals
- Radiohead songs like "No Surprises," "High and Dry"
