'Tr3nte' is a French rock formation which released two good albums in the 2000s, 'Tr3nte' in 2004 and 'Vu du Ciel' in 2006, then, nothing for 15 years, each member of the group being busy with other projects, until this new opus 'Aveugle et Sourd' which relaunches the group and puts it back at the center of the French rock scene. They therefore took the time to refine the 11 compositions (the twelfth title is a cover of 'Libre comme l'air' with the participation of 'Danny Vaughn' from the group 'Tyketto') which smells good a direct and effective rock with lyrics always engaged by sifting through all the ills of our society.
And from the start, with 'Malfamé', we are caught up in a heavy mid-tempo which strikes us with a first stripping text, then, 'Libre comme l'air' continues with a chorus which is immediately grafted into the head and which is typical of an uncompromising French rock that goes straight to the point. With 'My Odyssey', the atmosphere is much quieter with a beautiful semi-acoustic ballad conducive to escape, then, 'Blind and Deaf' sends us a good dose of energy with tailor-made lyrics to trigger an electro-shock in each of us, just like the following title 'Disparu des radars' which through a new corrosive rock title that can remind those of 'Trust' at the end of the 70s. New welcome break with 'Autant' which is a mid-tempo with a heavy bass line, then 'How many Bridges' continues in a quieter atmosphere, the guitar riffs becoming much less aggressive, this time recalling certain titles from 'Téléphone' from the 80s, just like 'In the middle of the desert' which follows with a very nice guitar solo of 'Thierry Velly'. Follows the pop 'Tattoo Burger' which gives an irresistible desire to move to the rhythm of the addictive melody, then, 'Une toise et du temps' is the second semi-acoustic break, which brings a melancholy and endearing side just like the last title 'Rêve hors norme' which ends the album in a very beautiful way in a sensual atmosphere brought by the muted trumpet, the title 'Libre comme l'air' then being cover with the participation of 'Danny Vaughn' as we have already seen above.
In summary, this new album from the French of 'Tr3nte' is a very good surprise 2021 and takes us on a varied journey in French rock with compositions ranging from energetic rock to harmonious pop through very endearing semi-acoustic songs, which destines 'Blind and Deaf' to a public loving to mix different styles and which appreciates melodic lines that we immediately appropriate... | |
