Mylene is back! How can I describe the anticipation for the release of this album?? Since the Queen's last gem, Avant Que l'ombre, people can't wait to see what's next?!
While AQL was very different from any of her previous albums, with more mature, softer tones and much much more strings! I personally think it was great and "f**k them all" is an all time favourite of mine.
Now arrives "Point de suture" (PDS) and what a pleasant arrival. The first single to be released was Degeneration which is a dance single with clever catchy beats but to be honest, not a favourite of mine. However, people are not to worry as the rest of PDS is way way way much better!
The immediate winner and a definite hit is "appelle mon numero" this is MF through and through. It will remind you of her older material, the great tunes from Laurent Bottonnat together with mylene's lyrics and angelic voice with avery very catchy beat make this an immediate hit. I'm sure it will be released as a single and be a big one too 5.5/5
"Point de Suture", thetitle track, "Réveiller le Monde", and "Si J'Avais au Moins" are three beautiful ballades that compete with each other for the most sublime song on the album. They remind me of MF classics from previous albums. They combine the darkness of her earlier "L'autre" and her atmospheric gem "Innamoramneto". The three songs are different but carry that same tenderness with a slight touch of sadness, only to feel soothed and calmed after a few listens, absolutely sublime 5/5 each.
"Je M'Ennuie" and "Paradis Inanimé" are two very well produced ballades, you can not help but admire MF's lyrics and LB's music in that usual magic combination, a bit darker and with some more down tunes but still not too dark to take the mood of the album down but rather keepm it floating in the beautiful cleanly produced and cleverly crafted atmosphere left behind by the previous three songs. 4/5 each.
"Sextonik" and "C'est dans l'Air" are faster and where MF shows her cheeky, naughty and upbeat side as if to say to fans, I want you to think of deep lyrics in my ballades but would like to see you have a good time and some fun too. 3.5/5 each. Looking for My Name, a duet with Moby. Not 100% sure about this one and I reserve my judgement till I've had further listens
All in all, another great album form MF. Very well produced and back to what she does best, write beautiful lyrics and combine them with the magical tunes of Laurent Bottonnat. You'd have to take your hat of to both of them. They've been around for 23 years now and MF remains the most successful female french singer. She is the only female able to fill large stadiums with fans over and over again. The intelligent and tender lyrics, I just don't understand how she keeps coming up with them after all these years.
Mylene is my favourite artist of all time. This CD will remain in my car, computer and by our bedside for a long time. AQL is still being played in my house three years after its release and I'm sure PDS will have the same impact. Thank you Mylene for being who you are and giving us more and more of soul food.
Love

L'ANGE ROUGE N'ECHOUERA JAMAIS A ME PLAIRE !!!! September 11, 2008

Les necs les plus ultra sont, sans doute, JE M'ENNUIE, REVEILLER LE MONDE, C'EST DANS L'AIR, APPELLE MON NUMERO, et l'incomparable POINT DE SUTURE, qui me fait penser à la chanson AVANT QUE L'OMBRE. Simplement ce disque ne se ressemble à celui de 2005, le bel et bien aimé ...OMBRE duquel elle tissait l'énorme spectacle de 2006 à Bercy (le dvd soyant un MUST) mais ce disque nous offre un autre vue de Mylène : plein de surpris et de points d'émotion la plus forte. C'est clair, c'est bel, et c'est Mylène, qui règnera à jamais en tant que l'ange roux.
 Worthy Mylene, but not a classic September 24, 2008

Greetings. This album has some sublime moments, but it is far from her finest work. THAT masterpiece would be the incomparable magnum opus from 1999, __Innamoramento__. This collection does contain 2 songs that are equal to her very, very finest moments, along the lines of Ainsi Soit-Je, Je te Rends ton Amour, Libertine, Je T'aime Melancolie, Regrets, and L'Amour N'est Rien. These two best moments of __Point de Suture__ are the super-catchy, faux-innocent, and joy-inspiring __Appelle mon Numero__ and the gorgeous, haunted and haunting title track, __Point de Suture__, which is even more mesmerizing than Annie Lennox's most private moments.
A few other songs are nearly as fantastic, such as Reveiller le Monde, Je M'ennuie, and the first single, Degeneration. The only true horror, and genuinely shocking disappointment is the "duet" with Moby. It is not worth discussion, and is certainly not worthy of inclusion in her opus. His voice is terrible in relation to hers and to the music. What were they thinking? He is a poor David Bowie substitute. Mylene and Laurent are musicians and poets of such a high order, that to put out so few albums, and to take such great care with their collective output, this misstep seems disturbing and unfortunate. Guere de logique.
Oh well, Farmer and Boutonnat are without equals, and I absolutely love their universe. Bravo et brava! Neil T of Minneapolis, MN neilbartz@msn.com
Mylene Farmer- "Point De Suture" September 16, 2008

I have been a long time fan of Mylene Farmer. In this album, Mylene returns to her older "dark, moody, dance" style. It's a very pleasant,entertaining album in spite of the fact it sounds very much like many of her older albums. It would be great if Mylene released an English language album so that she could become well known in the USA. Although she does have a cult following here,the sad fact is most people in America have never heard of her! I think she could be a big star here if people had the chance to listen to her music.
A little bit of rediscovery, a little bit of rehashing September 25, 2008

On first listening to Points de suture, I couldn't escape the sensation that I had heard several of the songs before. This is not to say that they aren't good songs. They are. But the album doesn't startle or surprise the way that Innamoramento and Avant que l'ombre revealed new things about just what Mylène and Laurent Boutonnat (who writes the music) thought they could get away with - and did! This is a more conventional album - no Little Princes, no iconoclastic virgins, no silly surprises like QI and nothing as sharply put together as "F* them all."
On balance, Points de suture is a pretty good album. At its best, it's quite good. The title track recalls the haunting "Ainsi sois-je," just as the doll stitched together sends one's mind back to the androgynous Mylène doll on the cover of the album by that name. It's just a question of getting past the sense that the music, too, is stitched together from things past.
"Je m'ennuie" and "Appelle mon numéro" are catchy little tunes and will likely grown on you quickly. "Paradis inanimé," a proper rock song, is a solid point in the album. And "Si j'avais au moins..." is a nice rock ballad. "Reveiller le monde" and "Sextonik," however, leave me thinking back to "Désenchantée" and "Je t'aime mélancolie" for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. And I've mentioned the similarities between "Points de suture" and "Ainsi sois-je."
Mylène fans will, of course, want this album. It's not as though she's lost her voice. Those new to Mylène will find a nice voice and reasonably good music behind it. But if you're new to Mylène and looking for something fantastic, better go with Avant que l'ombre.
