Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - ...It's all going downhill ! (from a disappointed admirer)
It is great to see all the support for Mylène's latest album. I have been a fan of Boutonnat/Farmer since they started and absolutely love most of what they do.

Unfortunately, I struggled to appreciate Avant que l'ombre where Mylène high pitch singing is weak and hollow and was accompanied by quite uninspired music. Shame as I want to like everything they do.

And, in my opinion, things are getting worse and I can no longer connect to the latest "Mylène" outputs like Point de Suture titles. They feature repetitive Euro beats, simplistic melodies, monotonous rythms and music. "Appelle mon numéro" seems to be aimed at young teenagers and is mightily irritating (like 90% of the material on this album).

If targetting teenagers is the new way, then it is spot on and you may like this album but I feel the departure from what made her great too big for me to follow. Where are the haunting scores, catchy tunes without being trash, moody lyrics and atmosphere?

One could draw a parallel with Madonna and her genre twisting "Confessions on a Dance Floor", and if this Mylène's attempt, then I think it fails.

Call me old school but you can't call this Mylène Farmer (...Alizée?)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love to dance to this CD
This is a very good CD. I have heard other music by Mylène Farmer and like them all, but this one has a kind of beat I cannot resist.

I was first attracted to the song Dégéneration, which prompted me to buy the album. When I got the CD I immediately found myself drawn to the the songs Je M'Ennuie and Appelle Mon Numéro. I wish people in my area had a taste in foreign music. It really gets the body moving =P


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Pop album in this year
When i listened the album, i feel Mylene comes back to early years. This album have old elements but new also (in one track she sing the chorus with Moby in english) but this one is more balanced and less dark, more melodic and new sounds. I enjoy all the album, There's no fillers. Maybe it is not the best album of Mylene, but in this year is the best pop album in the world (in french..and english). Madonna is the Queen...of MTV, and Mylene is the Queen..of the real world. Sorry Alizee, you are so far away of the Teacher.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good. More up tempo than 'Avant Que l'Ombre...'
To avoid disappointment, please note that the numerous Amazon listings outside of France for this imported album continues to contain errors.

Amazon part no. ASIN: B001BSH10W as sold by 'Amazon France' is the Limited digipack CD edition which contains the hidden track "Ave Maria" and the "Degenerations" video. This item has Polydor catalog no. 5310125.

There appears to be 2 jewel box CD editions. These do NOT include the "Degeneration" video clip.

The standard jewel box edition containing CD disc 5310833 does not include the hidden track "Ave Maria".

I believe Polydor catalog no. 5310124 is the super jewel box edition distributed in France which may include the hidden track "Ave Maria".





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A little bit of rediscovery, a little bit of rehashing
On first listening to Points de suture, I couldn't escape the sensation that I had heard several of the songs before. This is not to say that they aren't good songs. They are. But the album doesn't startle or surprise the way that Innamoramento and Avant que l'ombre revealed new things about just what Mylène and Laurent Boutonnat (who writes the music) thought they could get away with - and did! This is a more conventional album - no Little Princes, no iconoclastic virgins, no silly surprises like QI and nothing as sharply put together as "F* them all."

On balance, Points de suture is a pretty good album. At its best, it's quite good. The title track recalls the haunting "Ainsi sois-je," just as the doll stitched together sends one's mind back to the androgynous Mylène doll on the cover of the album by that name. It's just a question of getting past the sense that the music, too, is stitched together from things past.

"Je m'ennuie" and "Appelle mon numéro" are catchy little tunes and will likely grown on you quickly. "Paradis inanimé," a proper rock song, is a solid point in the album. And "Si j'avais au moins..." is a nice rock ballad. "Reveiller le monde" and "Sextonik," however, leave me thinking back to "Désenchantée" and "Je t'aime mélancolie" for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. And I've mentioned the similarities between "Points de suture" and "Ainsi sois-je."

Mylène fans will, of course, want this album. It's not as though she's lost her voice. Those new to Mylène will find a nice voice and reasonably good music behind it. But if you're new to Mylène and looking for something fantastic, better go with Avant que l'ombre.
