3.0 out of 5 stars Torn between 2 and 3, August 5, 2005

Glancing over the other reviews I've seen, I would have to agree with the one that reads: "pretty bland". There are some catchy synth riffs now and then, and a couple or three fairly good songs...but overall, I get bored with it pretty fast. In my opinion, I think if you're gonna break away from the band that you are reverened for (ie..Funker Vogt) and do your own thing....why not be a little more experimental with it and try doing something that doesn't sound like everything else??

If you're a die-hard FV or Fictional fan tho, you should prolly get it just for grins.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Fictional, July 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Phoenix (Audio CD)

Another Funker side project which fails to captivate like the other side-project ( Fictional). This band sounds like Fictional it being a more synth driven. While funker sounds more hard edged,EBMish. The vocals arent done as well as with Fictional either. Yet they are better sounding than Funkers harsh distorted vocoder. All in all I would recommend any Funker album, or the first Fictional album (ficticious) over this one any day.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a synthpop album, December 27, 2000

This review is from: Phoenix (Audio CD)

I had high expectations for Ravenous since two of the members of the band are from Funker Vogt. Make no mistake, Ravenous is no Funker Vogt. The clear, undistorted vocals and the slower, less aggressive songs are what makes Ravenous stand apart. I'm not a big fan of synthpop, so maybe that's why I wasn't blown away by Phoenix. Even so, I found a few songs on the CD that I found entertaining. Between The Worlds is no doubt my favorite track, but I also like Souless and Lost In The Dark. If you like sythnpop music, give Ravenous a try. Phoenix is one of their best releases.
