The first french review of High Anxiety!!!

#

Started by sull

In Hard Rock (April!)

Excuse me but my english is so poor that i can’t translate this review. Nevertheless perhaps an other french fan (PanZer si tu nous regarde!) will be able to do this “dirty” job!

Ratio : Album 15.5/20 (It’s rather good!!!! I love that!)
Production 14/20

“Chaque fois que Therapy? sort un album, on a tendance à se dire : “Tiens ils existent encore?” Effectivement , Therapy? ne hante plus les “Top 50”, mais le groupe continue à sortir des albums de façon assez régulière, le dernier en date étant Shameless, sorti fin 2001. Alors que ce dernier explorait des sentiers punk-rock, High Anxiety revient à des considérations plus rock’n’rol, tendant plus vers ce qui a fait leur succés à l’époque de Toublegum. Toutefois trés différent de tout ce que le groupe a fait par le passé ce nouvel album possède cette patte Therapy? reconaissable au premier coup d’oreille. Avec de moreceaux trés forts (” Hey Satan-You Rock”, “Watch You Go”, “My Voodoo Doll” etc…) Therapy? risque de revenir trés fort sur le devant de la scéne rock. Des compos trés personnelles, loins des clichés à la mode, des refrains entêtants, des mélodies de tueurs, une pèche incroyable…Autant d’ingrédients qui font que ce disque est EXELLENT (No need to translate!) et qu’il mérite votre interêt. Vous ne le regretterez pas!”

In Abstract : It is a fuking good album! YEAH!

Exactly my opinion as well, thanks a lot to my boss for letting me follow those French classes at work :D

I’m not French, but I’ll give a go. Apologies for mistakes.

Every time T? releases an album, you tend to say, “Do they still exist?”. Indeed, T? don’t haunt the Top 50 any longer, but the band continues to release albums regularly, with the previous being Shameless, at the end of 2001. Whereas this last album explored paths of punk rock, High Anxiety returns to things more rock ‘n’ roll, along the lines of what made them successful during the Troublegum era. Despite being very different from what the band have done in the past, this new album is recognisable as Therapy? on first listening. With very strong pieces such as “Hey Satan - You Rock”, “Watch You Go” and “My Voodoo Doll” etc, Therapy? could return to the forefront of rock. Very personal compositions, avoidance of fashionable cliches, heady choruses, killer melodies, unbelievable pace (?)… All ingredients which make this album EXCELLENT, and one that deserves your attention. You will not regret it!

How’s that?

Sounds good! Thanks Alex!!
Well, let´s hope that they don´t go to far back in the Troublegum-direction (maybe just concerning the sales of the record, that´d be nice!)…

@denisd, PanZer: Thanks. I figured it’s fairly basic French, but it was good practice! Am I right in thinking there’s a few mistakes in it though? (maybe typos?)

I don’t think i’d mind if they went too far back towards Troublegum-type songs, but then i would say that because Troublegum’s always been my favourite album (and i don’t care what anyone else here sez! :D) Thanks for posting that review - i can’t wait High Anxiety comes out… i’ve got it marked on my calender in big letters… and on everyone else’s calender as well so they can remind me. :D I think that X-Men 2 is coming out the same week as well - argh, how happy am i?? :D

Aha.

I was actually referring to the original French — are there a few typos in there?
