~TheLoveYouBreathe Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This morning I finally got my No Place In Heaven copy I must say that this album is a truly masterpiece. I was very excited having all these new songs in my hands! At this moment my favourite songs, in addition to Last Party and Good Guys, are Hurts, Good Wife & No Place In Heaven, but there are many gems in this album.

robertina Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I cannot say that this album is a masterpiece, we need to be a bit level headed here, masterpieces are on another level. BUT this is my personal review, if anyone's interested. Who knows me better, probably knows that I've not been very happy with Mika and his last three years' career. I don't like him to do X factor, The Voice, collaborating with fashion brands and such. More than that, I thought that his last songs were weak and lame, nothing to be bothered about. I was ready to quit for good. Then the Fabrique. He was good on stage as always, as I remembered him from the first years. His voice has got problems, but nothing a good audience cannot compensate ;-) His voice was not killed by the instruments as I heard in Padova or Rome. Then the new album. I'm still in shock from what I've been listening so far, I can't believe the lame songs I've heard snippets of (Talk about you, Last party, Good guys, Staring at the sun) could fit so well all together in a studio album with the surprising new ones. The whole thing flows smooth, cheerful, passionate and intimate with no continuity solution. You get to the end in a blow and want to repeat it for ever and ever. You try to keep quiet but you cannot help clapping, snapping, dancing, jumping on your chair. His voice is so warm, the choirs are perfectly fit, the arrangements amazing (Mr. Wells for president!). It takes you back to a golden age and you even need to remember how we used to dance in the 60s/70s. Good for the old, good for the young who could discover a new world. I know he is not the only responsible of this album, the co-authors are a lot, but thanks God he's found them. Their works has helped Mika to find his way back to success, if only the music world would be ready. It's another little revolution of his, let's hope it will be aknowledged. It makes me happy, it makes me want to listen to it again and again, it was the same with LICM. Not sure it's the same as the first album in terms of objective value or originality. Fact is that is has the same disruptive effect on me, and that's enough for me to say that I'm here to stay. I needed the music, and he gave me what I needed. I can live with the rest, when I feel a bit disappointed I will play NPIH :-D 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with the rest, when I feel a bit disappointed I will play NPIH :-D Totally agree on your review, including how I felt for past 3 years, and how I felt on the small snippets, and How I feel now listening this entire album. He found a right way to go, which so suits on him and even bigger and clear than before. No more moans. He's back and I think our long time Mfcers who'd been shared similar idea for past few years, would be back too!

I've always loved french chansons, listened a lot to Boris Vian, Serge Reggiani and Barbara when I was a teenager. I don't know many modern french singers though. So I'm very glad that Mika sings in french and participates in the Voice France. I love the climbing of the notes in the beginning of Les baisers perdus. Looking forward to listening to it a lot when my CD will have arrived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm actually very glad that the UK version doesn't have a lot of French songs on it. The one at the end is fine. If people in the UK don't want to hear it, they can stop the album but they will probably listen out of curiosity, and may like the song. I'm really happy with the album, it's excellent! I hope it does well in the UK. I wish they would advertise it on the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Could someone who has one of the editions with the French songs please post a photo of the credits on the paper booklet? Thanks! I need to add the French songs info to the Mika encyclopedia and it doesn't look like i'll be getting the French version anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
