Overall Assesment
, February 26, 2003Reviewer: stdmcp13 - See all stdmcp13's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Guest review helpful I think this album is great with the vocals, but I feel like the group went through one recording for all the songs. The album has the Elvis "unrehearsed-type" feel. It is good listening nonetheless. I enjoyed the album profoundly. The lead singer, Alex, has some great soul in every song. The band is flawless in it's playing, and the lyrics are great. I initially bought the cd because I heard the song California and I thought they sounded okay. After hearing the other songs though, I am convinced that this group is gold. ... -

Pro Reviews: Guest
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews While an increasing number of up-and-coming artists are making a name for themselves by blurring the lines between rock, metal, rap, soul, dance, country, and about any other musical style you can think of, Phantom Planet is sticking with rock roll. Pop/rock, if you want to split hairs, but isn't that basically redundant? Ironically, with the defection of so many artists to hybrid genres, The Guest comes off sounding incredibly fresh. It's hard to think of too many contemporary bands that are making such unapologetically sunny, pop-tinged rock roll. Take the punk out of Weezer, the kitsch out of Fountains of Wayne, or the Strokes out of the garage, and you come pretty close. The album opens strong with four infectiously upbeat tracks that are singalongs waiting to happen. The songs are well-crafted and impressively mature for a band whose members are scarcely legal drinking age. The only misstep is the schmaltzy "Anthem," in which lead singer Alex Greenwald muses about writing a song that the entire planet falls in love with. The rest of the album flirts with some electronic touches, but never deviates too far from the original course. Greenwald's vocals remain heartfelt and confident throughout, although he seems to be channeling Thom Yorke in his quieter moments, such as "Turn Smile Shift Repeat." Phantom Planet distinguishes themselves by not being afraid to make a lush, textured album that avoids sounding glossy or overproduced. The use of strings and keyboards is subtle but effective. Indeed, the first single and opening track "California" employs a vital piano hook to hold the song together. What holds the entire record together, however, is Phantom Planet's knack for feel-good tunes with melodies that bounce into your head and stay there. - Mark Vanderhoff, All Music Guide |
