Title: Good lord is this awful
Review: I liked "Dead Cities...", but this is truly terrible. M83's taken the ambient and noisy extremes of that album and cranked them up horribly. All the ambient parts on "Before the Dawn..." are embarassingly cheesy and boring, and the noisy parts are just irritating.Picture what some red-blooded American NASCAR fan would think of if you say "some French dude with a synthesizer", and you have the awful cliche just perfectly. But Jean-Michel Jarre wouldn't have put out something this wanktastic twenty years ago, why put up with it now?
