Psychédélices or Une Enfant Du Siècle?

[wasabi622]

So we've been talking about how MCE and Gourmandises are all products of Mylene and Laurent. Keeping that in mind, Psychedelices and UEDs are the recent Alizée-made albums.

SO! Which of the two do you prefer?

This is a hard question to answer because I love both, but I think I might have to pick UEDS because i love listening through the whole album in one sitting.

I think it's fairly obvious to see which album I like best.

<3 Psychédélices

I like UEDS more just because it makes me cry. Mes Fantomes makes me think of Alizee so much, it think its because she is the one singing it. Man I love both albums though. Crying over Alizee is the best feeling.

That's soooo hard! I recently downloaded each and every one of her albums and after listening to them all I've decided that those two are my favorites.. hmmm.. well, I skip over more songs in Psychedelices (I like every song on UEdS) but the songs I do like on it, I like a lot. I guess I'll go with UEdS.

oh jeepers.

I wouldn't go as far to say that either one is a favorite (I'm sure you can figure out which is), but on both of those albums, there isn't one song that I do not like.

I can listen to both albums completely, and have a ball the entire time.

In a competition between the two, I would say that Psychédélices is a bit more... upbeat?

Man fav choices are hard when whichever one you pick leads to alizee.
In the end it's Fifty Sixty vs. Mes Fantomes for me. Fifty Sixty wins by a tiny bit so i'm with Psychédélices on this one.

Pretty tough, but all of these polls are tough for me. I'm the guy who would always finish his survey last at school all because I would put too much thought or debate into every little question . I just put too much thought into choosing, especially when it's between Alizée and Alizée. So hard!!! lol

I really like and think both are excellent albums. I can listen to both entirely and like every song from both, but I tend to listen to Psychédélices more. There are songs that I really enjoy from both albums, but I seem to have more songs that I really, really like from Psych. I really like the album and every song on it a lot. As time has gone on, and as I have become more aquainted with her music as a fan, I find it quite hard to decide what my favorite album overall is. I still debate whether Mes Courants Électriques or Psychédélices is my favorite album. I tend to listen to Psych more than any other album though. I just really enjoy the album, and between UEDS and Psych, I seem to be able to listen to Psych just about whenever, where I will often have to be in the mood at times for a few songs on UEDS. Psych also has more piano, guitar, and other more natural sounding instruments where UEDS is more electronic. I do enjoy and like electronic music but I will often prefer and enjoy the natural sound of instruments such as guitars and the piano more. Psych seems to have more of this, an example would be like in the very beautiful song Par Les Paupières. Psych also seems to have a wider range music-wise that keeps me "busy", I guess you could say, whereas UEDS sticks very closely to one style or theme across the album. Both albums have excellent beats though. Great drums throughout both albums. That is what makes it really tough when choosing. But when it comes down to it, I will often go with the upbeat, happy tones and natural sounds of Psych over the dark and electronic UEDS.

Edit:

Haha. I knew there was another thread like this but I didn't feel like finding it. Lazy me

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that Wasabi made the thread again though. Now that a little more time has passed, people have had more time to be able to better become aquainted with the new album. People may not like it as much as it may have gotten "old" or it may have "grown" on them and they like it more. The other thread was made relatively close after the release and I only had my UEDS CD for like a week or two when the poll was created I believe.

The thread stopped getting posts after a few days also. It kind of exploded then stopped. It would be nice to see some more recent or up-to-date results as people's minds may have changed. I still voted the same way, but hey, you never know.

I definitely prefer Psychedelices over UEDS.

Psychedelices is more my style of music, much more upbeat, is just overall more lively. I mean, the way she dressed and performed were much more colorful and entertaining, and I think that the overall album was just that, more pop and vibrant.

Une Enfant du Siecle, on the other hand.. not quite my style of music, and a little to dark and.. gloomyish.

Psychédélices for me. Like Wasabi said, Une Enfant du Siècle just isn't quite my style.
