I really didn't like Jamais Plus, Lonely List, Décollage, L'effet or Idealiser to start with, but now I can enjoy them like any other song from Alizée :P
And Lilly Town was kinda ok, but now it's one of my favourite songs ^^

My favorite Alizée album is MCE, but I suppose for many people it partly depends on when they first discovered her. And I’m sure for some it’s a matter of taste. MCE defined Alizée for me initially. I'm sure Gourmandises and Moi, Lolita defined Alizée for most fans, but that era never registered for me that well. I like the songs on Gourmandises a lot, but the Lolita image never stuck to me, so to speak. Actually, I'm glad it didn't. I think it made Psych much easier for me to accept.

But having said all that, I think Psych is a very good album and I am disappointed that it didn’t sell better as well. I do listen to it a lot, and I can't wait to hear what her next album will sound like.

Essentially, I feel the same way. In addition to discovering Alizée post-MCE/pre-Pychédélices, making the MCE material more defining and special, is the fact that the MCE era had many of the best non-performance material: Stars à Domicile avec Jessica, and most of the really good interviews (I still maintain that it was Ternuc's JPVA compilation that piqued my interested, but 1H avec Alizée that made me a fan). Still, Psychédélices isn't too far behind because it was with I heard Alizée *live* for the very first time as her debut of MJ was mirrored on internet radio, and of course that I met Alizée (and later danced a little for her, if you can call what I did "dancing") to the sounds of Psychédélices. And Gourmandises, I have to admit, seems to hang together as an album musically better that the other two if you listen to it straight through rather than to individual songs.
