As a member of the peanut gallery, i have to say that peanuts are quite a fascinating food with so many uses.

I haven't been logged into BEA for what seems like ages and thought that I may as well post something, hpoing that I could talk about about one of my favorites or something along the lines of that (I'm obsessed with Keep it like a secret btw, like one of the only albums I've had on non stop repeat for the past whatever). Anyways, originally I was gonna nominate MM's debut instead of this (mainly because I forgot about it for a little while), but realized just how much better of a choice this is.

The thing with this type of music is that the instrumentals are extremely beautiful. Like, while in most other music types, i feel lyrics and etc. weigh in greatly, this just shows a different side of the music I love where what matters most is the beauty of sound (whether it can come from harsh noises or from amazingly mind blowing and comfortable arrangements like the last track on sovenirs d'un Autre Monde. This album has impressed on so many different levels it just amazes me every listen. While I haven't listened to it in a while (I decided to give it a re-listen today actually), it's impressive and one of the best albums ever made.

Btw, hi everyone!

On a separate note, Is this it is catchy as fuck with nice songwriting added to it, really strong album for the decade.

Apparently the Is This It is loved by the peanut gallery. Voted for Souvenirs although I dont think it's my favorite Alcest album. Not my favorite Strokes album either, but it's not even that great of an album to begin with 😐

Damn this was tough. I came in knowing nothing about Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde. I'm really impressed with this album. But Is This It is such a deep-rooted sentimental favorite. I'm no longer obsessed with the record as I was back when it was released but I'm still voting for Is This It.

I came here fully intending to vote for Is This It, but immediately changed my mind upon listening to that brilliant Souvenirs albums!

Maybe Souvenirs but weirdly I don't like either much.

Although Is This It was a crucial album in my teenhood and maybe something that I've listened to more than any other album but I've grown cold towards it in the past couple of years. Also it doesn't help that it's lined up against one of my all-time favs, an album which is just outside my overall chart and can appear on it anytime.

Strokes. Even though they've been on repeat, this first album is great.

I love Is This It, but Souvenirs d'Un Autre Monde is my favorite French album ever and is not ready to leave my chart. Not a too hard decision either.

I could never really connect with The Strokes. Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde, on the other hand, is mind-blowingly gorgeous and a landmark album in both the metal and shoegaze genres. Easy vote for me.
