Which Malice Mizer album do you like the most ???

I have to say, I'm rather partial to Voyage. While I love all the individual songs on Merveilles so much more, Voyage just works better as an album. And I'm ashamed to say, I still have yet to hear all of Bara no Seidou. (I refuse to download any more songs so that at least some will be new when I hear the album)

Hmm..maybe so, but it doesn't necassarily have to sound malicious to be malicious or miserable. Their concept is "what is human?" So I guess you have to keep in mind that there's other human qualities than malice and misery. For example songs like Brise and Ju te Veux...qualities of happiness and love, are also in a human; and are pulled off quite well. And then you have Le Ciel - sadness, and S CONCIOUS - suffering. It's a largely varied album to their concept and in by no means IMO should be criticised in the way of "but his voice wasn't malicious-sounding"...but over all as Naja has once stated to me, paraphrasing, "If their overall conclusion of 'What is human?' is malicious misery, then they're genious'" and I whole-heartedly agree.
Oh and btw I voted for Memoire.

I'm not easily impressed by anything but the first time I heard Bara no Seidou I dropped everything I was doing, ran up to my CD player and stared at it like an idiot. Merveilles comes a close second, then Voyage and then Memoire.
