muller Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I heard of Phoenix via the Lost In Translation soundtrack as "Too Young" features on it. I really really like it and was wondering if the rest of their catalogue is as good. Anyone like 'em and if so, what do I start with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My girlfriend loves 'em. They sounded OK to me but I didn't investigate any further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 few great singles on the last 2 records (all i've heard), but on the whole i just find them OK as well Long Distance Call from the new one rules tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Cash Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) I really liked their latest album (It's Never Been Like That) at first, but it wore out quickly on me. It sounds a bit samey. Edited September 5, 2006 by Eli Cash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Their newest gets an absolute big thumbs up from me. First couple listens, I liked it, but it didn't sound like anything special. But the more I listened, the more it really grabbed me as a great straight-forward rock-pop record. One of my fave releases of 2006. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I really like Its Never Been Like That. "If I Ever Feel Better" (from their first record) is also one of the finest slices of pop music ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's Never Been Like That is pretty good. Not great, but it's a good summer album. Probably make my year's end best of list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 "If I Ever Feel Better" (from their first record) is also one of the finest slices of pop music ever. Definately. I've only have their first album United, and it's very good - so I'd recommend that. Especially if you liked Too Young, which is on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muller Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Cool - ill grab the first album and go from there. Thanks guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I really like Alphabetical.I have fond memories of driving through the streets of LA, playing that album very loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muller Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Just downloaded United and on first listen I fucking love it! Brilliant stuff. I'm off to see whats available in the shop in my lunch hour.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
