The Magnetic Fields were originally brought to my attention because of my love of The Burning Hell - particularly this song, which would not be entirely out of place on this album...

I became familiar with Merritt first from Magnetic Fields and while I find that project quite good. I prefer the music he’s released with The 6ths

Allmusic Review:
Histoire de Melody Nelson - Serge Gainsbourg | Album | AllM
Histoire de Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg released in 1971. Find album reviews, track lists, credits, awards and more at AllMusic.www.allmusic.com
4/5 for me. It's icky/provocative sure, but it's also a pretty incredible piece that has inspired much further greatness.

I thought I wasn't gonna like this one based on some of the comments but I enjoyed it well enough. I reckon it could use another listen or two to find where it truly stands, but 3/5 for the meanwhile for me.

I've long had a feeling with no distinct memory that I didn't like Roxy Music all that much when co-workers at work would put it on. Today I've tangibly confirmed it. I don't really hate it, but I really don't like it. 2-/5

Being Canadian there’s a decent chance you might speak/understand French better than I; I think if I comprehended what he was singing about I’d likely be repulsed but I have no clue and as such It’s hard for the ick factor to bother me all that much. Ignorance is bliss.

I threw Magnetic Fields a 3, could be higher one day, but chances of me being like I really need to dive into it again are not great.

NEVER heard of it. Listening now, not real sure what is going on... sounds like a brit pop band gone punk.

The second song doesn't sound anything like the first song and production wise sounds like a demo. This and Dinosaur Jr have shown that the EXOgear is horrible for noise.

This one popped up a while ago in my personal list. I thought it was an average album. I'll be curious to see if it grows on me with this listen.

Was not familiar with this at all. It a enjoyable listen. I can't say it was anything mind blowing or ground breaking but it was perfectly fine. 3/5.

Kinda trashy, noisy Rock 'n' Roll vibes.
Christ, still 3 minutes to go...
Excruciatingly boring and about 20 minutes too long.
2 / 5 stars.

I can agree about the length. I didn't realize when I wrote my impression I still had like 12 minutes in the album to go. I thought I was towards the end.
But hey, it could have been 2 hours longer!

Very uninspiring. One of the most WTF is this doing here albums yet - at least most of the others I haven't liked made sense. I feel like this is trying too hard fo be something that it's failing at. Or too many somethings, even. 1/5

This was kind of the first, well that was a record listen. I thought it would be something before it settled into we want to be the Sex Pistols, the strokes, and Motley Crue territory.

Remember how stupify just decided I wanted to listen to Ray Price all the time and it was my most listened to album that week because I like it and we’ll why not listen to it again?
Stupid shit has decided this needs to happen with Serge. So inappropriate moans keep happening and less than opportune times.

Yeah, Brigitte Bardot moaning “Je T’aime” from your office all day might result in the upper management removing the door from your office.
