Avis\u00a0:<\/b><\/p>\n

Si on vous dit Tobias Sammet<\/i>, il y a de fortes chances pour que cela ne vous dise rien, sauf si vous \u00eates un assidu de la musique m\u00e9tal et plus particuli\u00e8rement du power m\u00e9tal \u00e0 tendance h\u00e9ro\u00efc-fantasy. Et pourtant, le monsieur est tr\u00e8s connu dans le milieu, car il est \u00e0 la t\u00eate de deux groupes assez prolifiques en mati\u00e8re de skeud. Son premier groupe est Edguy<\/b>, un groupe de power m\u00e9tal m\u00e9lodique qui prend ses racines avec Iron Maiden<\/b>. Le groupe a d\u2019ailleurs d\u00e9j\u00e0 sorti dix albums studio dont le dernier, Age of the Joker<\/b> en 2011. Mais en parall\u00e8le \u00e0 ce groupe, Tobias Sammet<\/i> a cr\u00e9\u00e9 Avantasia<\/b>, un groupe de power m\u00e9tal mais qui s\u2019inspire plus des groupes nordiques et avec un imaginaire rappelant les romans de Tolkien <\/i>ou encore de David Gemmel<\/i>. L\u2019autre grosse particularit\u00e9 du groupe, c\u2019est qu\u2019il y a beaucoup d\u2019invit\u00e9s sur de nombreuses chansons, participant ainsi \u00e0 la p\u00e9rennit\u00e9 du projet. The Mystery of Time <\/b>est le septi\u00e8me album studio et on peut compter quelques partenaires de choix comme Russell Gilbrook<\/i> de Uriah Heep<\/b> ou encore Markus Grosskopf<\/i> de Helloween<\/b>. Mais comme on a pu l\u2019entendre dans les albums pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents, il y a souvent un manque de coh\u00e9rence dans chaque album et certaines pi\u00e8ces demeurent mal ma\u00eetris\u00e9es. Qu\u2019en est-il avec ce skeud\u00a0? L\u2019album est-il plus r\u00e9ussi\u00a0? Allons d\u00e9couvrir les myst\u00e8res du temps\u00a0!<\/p>\n

L\u2019album s\u2019ouvre sur un long morceau, Spectres<\/i>, aux sonorit\u00e9s assez baroques avec une longue introduction. Cela \u00e9tant dit, le morceau est plut\u00f4t bon et assez entrainant, laissant augurer le meilleur pour la suite. Seulement, on va vite d\u00e9chanter avec le deuxi\u00e8me titre, The Watchmaker\u2019s Dream<\/i>, qui est tr\u00e8s classique et qui ne comporte rien de bien neuf, ayant m\u00eame un refrain insupportable qui vire au nullissime. Heureusement, la troisi\u00e8me chanson est bien meilleure, faisant partie des meilleures de l\u2019album. Black Orchid<\/i> est construite de mani\u00e8re fort efficace, avec des morceaux m\u00e9lodieux, une rupture relativement convaincante et surtout un refrain purement efficace dans le pur style power m\u00e9tal. L\u2019orchestre symphonique aidant aussi \u00e0 rendre ce morceau tr\u00e8s bon. A la suite, on retrouve un autre excellent morceau de l\u2019album, Where Clock Hands Freeze<\/i>, \u00e0 l\u2019introduction symphonique r\u00e9ussi et aux riffs de guitares particuli\u00e8rement efficace. Le refrain est tr\u00e8s impressionnant, laissant \u00e9clater la voix de Tobias Sammet<\/i>. Mais malheureusement, la suite sera moins reluisante, avec la ballade Sleepwalking<\/i> qui est d\u2019un classicisme p\u00e9nible et qui ne comporte aucune surprise. Comme on peut le voir, le skeud est loin d\u2019\u00eatre mauvais, mais il s\u2019\u00e9coute comme un tour de montagne russe. On a des pics int\u00e9ressants et entrainants, puis des morceaux beaucoup moins marquants, voire carr\u00e9ment rat\u00e9s. Et c\u2019est le plus gros d\u00e9faut d\u2019Avantasia<\/b> depuis ses d\u00e9buts qui n\u2019arrive pas \u00e0 fournir un skeud constant dans la qualit\u00e9, se laissant aller vers des facilit\u00e9s parfois \u00e9nervantes, comme en atteste l\u2019excellent morceau Invoke the Machine<\/i> qui est suivi du l\u00e9nifiant What\u2019s Left of me<\/i>. L\u2019autre particularit\u00e9 de ce groupe, c\u2019est de fournir de longs morceaux d\u00e9passant all\u00e9grement les dix minutes. Pour notre plus grand bonheur, il y en a deux ici, Savior in the Clockwork<\/i>, qui est un excellent morceau, vraiment entrainant, hyper bien construit et lorgnant vraiment du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du Heavy plus que du Power, et The Great Mystery<\/i>, qui cl\u00f4t l\u2019album et qui reste assez faiblard, notamment \u00e0 cause d\u2019un ton un peu trop joyeux\u00a0 et d\u2019un final un poil trop grand guignol.<\/p>\n

\"avantasia_live\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Au niveau du chant, on retrouve beaucoup de personnalit\u00e9s assez connues dans la sc\u00e8ne m\u00e9tal. La voix de Tobias Sammet<\/i> se pr\u00eate parfaitement \u00e0 ce genre qu\u2019est le heavy ou le power m\u00e9tal. Pouvant forcer et monter assez facilement dans les tessitures, le chanteur livre un bon panel de ce qu\u2019il est capable de faire. Certaines voix f\u00e9minines viennent apporter leur soutien, notamment sur le titre Sleepwalking<\/i> avec la pr\u00e9sence de Cloudy Yang<\/i>, qui pour le coup h\u00e9rite de la plus mauvaise chanson. On retrouve aussi des chanteurs comme Joe Lynn Turner<\/i>, Biff Byford<\/i> ou encore Michaell Kiske<\/i> qui s\u2019enchainent sur le tr\u00e8s bon morceau Savior in the Clockwork<\/i>. Si les chanteurs et chanteuses sont plut\u00f4t talentueux, il n\u2019y a rien de bien neuf l\u00e0-dedans tout de m\u00eame et c\u2019est assez dommage.<\/p>\n

Au final, The Mystery of Time<\/b>, le dernier album en date de Avantasia<\/b> n\u2019est pas si mauvais que cela. De tr\u00e8s bons morceaux sont pr\u00e9sents et c\u00f4toient quelques titres beaucoup plus classiques ou anecdotiques. Il en r\u00e9sulte quelque chose d\u2019assez int\u00e9ressant mais encore une fois, la qualit\u00e9 est trop en dent de scie et c\u2019est dommage car notre attention fait la m\u00eame chose.<\/p>\n
