│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Metal in French doesnÆt come around every day, ║ │
│║ but that is what we are given by French metal ║ │
│║ band Manigance. A band that started their career ║ │
│║ in 2002 and I have reviewed their album RΘcidive ║ │
│║ from 2011, and that was a very favourable review ║ │
│║ so I know these guys can make strong music. And ║ │
│║ Stylewise they are not really stepping away from ║ │
│║ what they did before, it is lyrics in French and ║ │
│║ classic power metal music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Expect typical power metal styled music when you ║ │
│║ listen to Machine Nation, it conforms to the ║ │
│║ typical power metal and it is only the language ║ │
│║ that sets them apart. And that could probably be ║ │
│║ enough in most cases as an exotic language adds ║ │
│║ a sense of uniqueness to albums that doesnÆt ║ │
│║ really have anything particularly unique. It is ║ │
│║ otherwise the distinct choruses, quite melodic ║ │
│║ metal that is commonplace in the power metal ║ │
│║ genre. And it is not a particularly varied ║ │
│║ album, something that probably will have some ║ │
│║ people feeling that the album is long. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The time required to listen to the album once is ║ │
│║ almost one hour and it would not have been ║ │
│║ detrimental to the album to edit away at least ║ │
│║ two of the twelve tracks the album has to offer. ║ │
│║ The other thing that is a bit less positive for ║ │
│║ this album is the lack of a distinct hit song, a ║ │
│║ song that really catches the listener and draws ║ │
│║ him/her into the album. The last time I heard ║ │
│║ the band they had several standout tracks but ║ │
│║ this has no such thing, which can be seen as a ║ │
│║ bit negative. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ An album with many good aspects even though I ║ │
│║ listed some negatives in the paragraph before, ║ │
│║ the melodies is good and the French language is ║ │
│║ a fresh aspect to it. I also like the ║ │
│║ production, the album has a good sound and the ║ │
│║ energy they show can also be described as a ║ │
│║ positive aspect to this album. I think it is ║ │
│║ rather good but it is not a standout album and I ║ │
│║ donÆt think it is particularly memorable even ║ │
│║ though it is good. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Listen to this album if you enjoy classic power ║ │
│║ metal, if you do chances are good that you will ║ │
│║ like this album. Thanks to them singing in ║ │
│║ French they do at least slightly rise above the ║ │
│║ grey mass of albums. I think Manigance has put ║ │
│║ together a good album here but I donÆt think it ║ │
│║ is quite up to the standard they had on the ║ │
│║ previous album I reviewed a few years ago. ║ │
