Why are ND albums so hard to get? I had to to buy this one from France, as there was nowhere else to be found! But I guess this only adds to the charm of it, as real good things are scarce... And this is one of them, for sure! I think this is their best album so far. The music has definitelly evolved (see 666.667 club) and the violine parts really make you fly... To a newcomer, I would say they sound like Nirvana singing Santana tracks, but once you've heard them they're unmistakable. To my opinion, ND is the best Europeean rock band of the XXIst century. My favourite tracks from this album? - A ton etoile, 666.667 club, L'Homme Presee ...

I am still convinced that Noir Desir will never surpass their 93 album "tostaky", but at least they tried hard with this one. If you like melodic, grungy (is this word still used at the end of the nineties?) guitar sound, just try the album.

666 667 Club is yet another stupendous album from Noir Desir. It's a real shame that more Americans aren't exposed to such a great band. A band that has proven that the french really know how to rock. Especially on the track L'homme Pressé. 666 667 Club really has the potential to break into the american radio realm. It's a definite must have by Noir Desir.

I am relatively new to Noir Desir, but I must say that this is one of the most amazing albums I have heard. From the gypsy violin and heart-pulling vocals in Ernestine to the brilliant Lazy (after hearing this song I understood why they call him the French Jim Morrison), every track on this album is beautifully arranged with depth and emotion that crosses any language barriers.

Noir Desir always releases great albums, but this is the album that grabbed me the most. You can feel the emotion in the lyrics be in one of the harder songs like 'Fin de siecle' or in the soft but intense 'Ernestine'. While I think it has great lyrics, I don't think it would necessary to understand French to appreaciate this CD.

Overall it's a great cd, but the songs in English are not nearly as good as the French songs, but there are only 2 English songs on this cd. Some of the best songs on this album are "Un Jour en France," "Comme Elle Vient," and "L'homme Presse." "Ernestine" has a different sound than the rest of the cd, with a quieter sound, but still has intensity.

I discovered this CD in 96, and it was a revelation for me... Their lyrics are strong in meaning, the music is powerful... I will never get sick of it. If you want to discover what French music is, go for this one!

The song "a ton etoile" (to your star) is gripping & beautiful. Have you heard a cello mixed into modern rock? It works -- the song is one of the best I know: the lyrics are simple & moving; orchestration is balanced and the feeling expressed is so right on. If you're sad, you'll recover with this song.

this is a good album...deserving 4 stars....but i give it an extra star for it's fantastic album art...REM should take lessons from them....the music is solid...can't comment on the lyrics as i don't know any french...sad it's an import though..

I'm French and I know Noir Desir for a long time. After several album, It is still so Great! The sound is always different between album, with this same little touch... Some Tracks are in English so try it!!!
