Noir Desir’s fans waited a long time for this album. The expectations were so high and Noir Desir succeeded to meet that expectations! Songs are so great that they not only adress rock-lovers but good music lovers.
Songs have social messages to people about racism, peace and environmentalism.
This album will be one of the classics of world music. My favourite songs are “Le grand incendie”, “Bouquet de nerfs” and “Le Vent Nous Portera”
Certainly worths to buy!

Zut Alors!. This is how alternative-rock should sound when it gets to its mid-thirties. Noir Desir have mellowed since “666 667 Club” but the venom is still there in the performance and the subject matter. Acoustic guitars,subtle synths and some good ol’ rock n roll create the finest European LP of 2002.Sadly this will be virtually ignored in the English music press but Noir Desir are one of the finest talents in Europe today.

I am French but have never been a huge fan of French music especially when it’s about rock n roll! However Noir Desir is The exception and Des Visages Des Figures is a masterpiece. It’s of course better if you can understand the lyrics, Bertrand Cantat is a fantastic writer, but Noir Desir’s music is good and different enough to give you this rare feeling that we are all expecting when listening to a new album.
Like a great wine: to consume without moderation!

Noir Desir were one of the most innovative bands around. Their lead singer Bertrand Cantat has been in the press of late for killing his girlfriend, but this doesn’t overshadow the brilliance of their music, and this is their best album by far. Very few bands have the honesty to release albums where every track is different and a genre in itself. If you love music – buy this album. I did a compilation of the best of Noir Desir recently and virtually all of the tracks from this album were on it! The last track is pompous garbage a la Jim Morrison at his worst – but “Lost” is one of the best songs of all time. Don’t worry about the French thing – the emotion comes across whatever language you speak. Indispensable! Get it! Got it? Good!

My French teacher brought me this CD when he went to France in the summer. Being quite sceptical about foreign music, I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I’m glad that I have it. The songs ‘le grand incendie’ ‘le vent nous emporteroi’ and lost have to be some of the best songs I have heard for a long, long while!! Even if you don’t speak French, still buy this CD, you can just feel the passion oozing from Cantats voice, and most of all, all the songs are different!! Buy it!!
