Hello my name is Greg and this is an album review. This is a review of the brand new album by French indie pop rock band Phoenix. This is the band’s 7th studio album and first since 2017. This album was recorded in a studio at the Louvre in Paris in 2020.
Getting to the actual review, I would say I enjoyed this album. I discovered this band recently through their 2009 breakthrough album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. This album has a similar feel to that album, so if, like me, you enjoyed that album you will likely enjoy this one. The songs have a very fun light feel to them. I would say the biggest difference between this and the albums Phoenix previously made is some more electronic elements, which might be due to contributions from Thomas Bangalter who was formerly part of the electronic dance duo Daft Punk. My least favorite song on the album was probably the title song, “Alpha Zulu.” I think the vocal inflections on the chorus are a little weird and can get annoying on repeated listens. My favorite song on the album is probably “Artefact” which has an instantly memorable chorus and some fun use of the electronic elements. Overall this is a very enjoyable album that I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes this genre of music. I'm planning on doing more of these reviews in the future. If you have any albums, new or old you think I should review, email them to me through my school email ([email protected]) and I might review it. That’s the end of the review, thanks for reading! -Greg Comments are closed.
