Maybe I am the only one, but my vote is for Psychedelices. The potential to be very successful was there, but poor decisions ruined it.
5 is a better product, it is being supported by Sony, there are more work and attention to details and better sound and production than in Psychedelices. What I am trying to say is that 5 is probably as good as it could be, all the potential is out there and in a proffesional way.
That was not the case with Psychedelices. In my humble opinion:
-For me, the best song of both albums is
Par les paupieres. But it was not even a single in Psychedelices, that hurt at the time.
- I consider Psychedelices the last album where Alizée did dance and choreographies. But they could have been way better. I never understood how someone who is a dancer, a good and a goodlooking one, does not make a better use of that aspect, when nowdays it is an important visual part of any show. She does not need to dance around semi naked, but she should use the dance to make her product, her image, her
brand, bigger, better and especially when you don't play an instrument or have Adele's voice...
-Image: She looks very good now, great choice of make up, dresses, shoes, hair style, etc... It was not the case in Psychedelices, she could look so much better... but she had this kind of
"I don't care" way of dressing that it was not a good match with her album at the time...
She is wiser now and has Sony help backing her for 5, which maybe is her best solo album but I still prefer Psychedelices hence my vote. She probably learned a lot from it, too.
Sorry about all the offtopics, but I felt like writing about those things
