Great Pop Record
The songwriting, playing, and arranging are all great, this is just a really nice pop record to sing along to. Weird, same thing happened to me with this band as with Rilo Kiley. Heard the latest release, liked it OK (Wolfgang Amadeus) then checked the back catalog and struck gold. This record, INBLT, is just wonderful. I can hear shades of Brendan Benson and Of Montreal, woven together with an 80's guitar pop aesthetic. If you're thinking of buying the Wolfgang Amadeus record, don't. Buy this one!
Talk Talk Talk
"It's Never Been Like That" is my introduction to this French band, who sing quite well in English by the way. Singer Justin Thompson whose jazz gem Brand New Same Old Obsessions totally knocked me out said this was one of his favorite bands, which brought me to it. I can certainly see the attraction. The music is original and bubbles with a classic feeling. "Rally" keeps varying the pace from the verse to bridge to the delightful chorus, "Don't you give me those shifty eyes, pay attention, dirty talk talk talk, quiet." "Long Distance Call" crosscuts a lovely melody with the repetition of the lyric that becomes title to the set. "Courtesy Laughs," the instrumental "North" & "Sometimes in the Fall" are also favorite cuts. Phoenix's delightful pop is original and sets a chronic smile on my face. Enjoy!
WOW
This CD is absolutely incredible. Phoenix has instantly become my favorite band. This CD coupled with Alphabetical are just amazing.
shockingly perfect pop
I dont know how they exactly did it but this band crafted a nearly perfect gem of pop songs. There's some punk and 80's influences but the band makes music that certainly stands on its own. There's also a mature sense of irony in several of the songs that makes replays of the CD fun if you're older than 16. Very impressive singing in a "rock/pop" style. The studio mixing brings out the strengths of the band.
Phoenix Destroyed My Car Stereo
I bought this C.D. for my birthday. Tried to load it into my car stereo and it it ended up jamming the unit and then it died.
So while the C.D. was only $8.00 it will cost me hundreds to fix the car stereo. I blame the record manufacturers for putting in some type anti-copy protection which screwed up the unit.
Therefore this is a must to avoid if you care about your equipment.
