I am not sure if there is a thread for this band, but can't do a search with the iPhone app. My apologies if it exists,

Anyway, I have been listening to Phoenix's new album Wolfgang Amadeus and it's pretty good.

A little pop driven, but a fun album to listen to! Check it out!

    I like the album a lot, real good to drive to. Love the song "Lasso".

    Yeah a brillant little pop album from last year. One of my favs.

    I just can't stand the 7 minute song. Otherwise i liked the album a lot.

    The first time I listened to this album I absolutely hated it. I thought it sounded a little too much like MGMT Oracular Spectacular. A few days later I gave it another listen and kind of liked it. Its defiantly grown on me.

    1901 is such a perfect song.

    they remind me of a Paris version of the Strokes

    the grammys got one thing right at least, naming wolfgang amadeus phoenix the best alternative album of the year.

    beyond that, you know your behind the times when you still refer to this music as "alternative". What are you, grammy creators, stuck in 1992?

    Phoenix is a really fun band with some awesome infectious music!

    or it could be the other way around...as phoenix have been around a wee bit longer than the strokes. i think it's good that phoenix is finally getting widespread recognition as a band...i've loved them since i first heard "if i ever feel better" from united. so fun to dance to...as is the new cd. work is always more fun with a phoenix dance party :D

    Cool stuff! Not spectacular, but definitely cool. Hoping to see them for the first time in May. I hear nothing but great reviews of them live!

    Anyone pick up Bankrupt yet? I just got it but haven't listened to it yet. Hoping it's pretty decent.

    I listened to the iTunes stream a few times and just couldn't get into this album. Entertainment is the only decent song. Nothing else really stands out.

    I liked the album, but do not see too much of a departure from their last album. Thats disappointing considering there was a four year gap between albums. They said this one would be experimental, but I am not hearing it.

    The catchiness of their previous album just isn't there and yeah I wouldn't call it experimental either.

    I really enjoyed them live, and can only imagine it being even more amazing at Red Rocks. I'd go for it!

    Couple months in and Bankrupt! is still a solid release for me. :thumbup:

    I will see them for the first time at the Barclays Center if I can find cheap tix. I would definitely see them in Red Rocks and honestly be more excited about the venue.
