5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album in Rock, January 8, 2004

By 

Brian DeMartinis (Tonawanda, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phantom Planet (Audio CD)

this is the best album in rock'n'roll,flat-out, period. for those who say the Guest is "way better", you need to get with the program, and i'm sure you will. i heard the majority of these songs in the months they were recorded as the band played small shows at a bar in Fredonia, NY, where the album was recorded. The sound is NOT the Guest, they have completely matured as musicians and now have a Rolling Stone type swagger to their music. Alex Greenwald has grown into one of the best songwriters, and the lyrics on this album have much more depth than the Guest. Stand out tracks include "Badd Business" "By The Bed" "Jabberjaw" "After Hours" "The Meantime and "Making a Killing", but EVERY song is killer. The catchy melodies are still there, but they dont jump up and bite you in the face, they are mixed brilliantly with frantic, someitmes ska driven drums, manic bass-lines and interwoven guitar lines. Everyone that thinks the Guest is better needs to listen to this record a few times more and digest what is going on in it.... sheer brilliance!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not the Guest...get over it!, February 1, 2004

You bought the Guest, and loved it. You might have done a little research, and found a little-known gem called "Phantom Planet Is Missing," the band's debut album, and loved that one too. So, when you heard Phantom Planet was finally recording their next LP, you got waaaaaay excited. Well, don't. Not if you want more of the same. Most of this album's detractors will argue that it sucks because it's nothing like their previous two. They're half-right.

Phantom Planet's new self-titled CD is chock-full of heavy guitar riffs, club-worthy beats, and raw, angry vocals, none of which were to be found in the Guest, but we are still talking about the same band, here, and you can expect the same quality songwriting and delivery that you've come to love on PP's previous two efforts.

So c'mon. Live a little. These guys stretched their legs on this album, and after a little getting used to, you can to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Album, PP Took A Step In The Right Direction...., February 20, 2004

Before Phantom Planet's 'Phantom Planet', their sound was a bit lighter, it was power-pop, but not quite as powerful on this album. That's why this is what I think is their best album to date. All the songs are great, catchy - and fun. It is one of thoose albums that is just fun all around. I dig blaring it in the car driving fast with friends. The best songs here would have to be 'The Happy Ending', 'Big Bratt' and 'By The Bed'. But most of the songs are pretty good, not all, but most. My only beef is the production. Sometimes the bass and drums drown out everything, but not all the time. Sometimes the vocals can get a bit irritating, but not alot. All In All, this was a big step in the right direction for the pop-now-powerpop band Phantom Planet. I suggest you check this album out, It's a keeper...
