   One of the few albums in recent years I can honestly call an inspired Masterpiece. No pretention, heavy, tight, brilliant

   Although this may really "only" be a 9.8 because there is some truth to it being a bit "uneven", I'm giving it a 10 because I am Although this may really "only" be a 9.8 because there is some truth to it being a bit "uneven", I'm giving it a 10 because I am addicted to killer hooks and this album is chock-full of them.… Expand

   it takes a couple listens to grow on you, but once it does it's like a new appendage you can't do without. although the Strokes it takes a couple listens to grow on you, but once it does it's like a new appendage you can't do without. although the Strokes comparisons are perhaps inevitable, it's worth nothing that the stylistic shift between this album and the previous one shows a range and depth that wasn't evident between the 2 strokes albums. Phantom Planet have their own magpie sound, and the songs stand on their own merits. great lyrics, muscular rhythm section, fluid guitars, just an all around kick ass album… Collapse

   Darker, more brooding rock from these still very young and talented Californians. An obvious departure from their sing-songier sophomore Darker, more brooding rock from these still very young and talented Californians. An obvious departure from their sing-songier sophomore effort "the guest," but truer I feel to the band's roots than most people tend to realize. It shows a great deal of depth and maturity of their sound that many critics have chosen to dismiss as calculated or lazy. To complain that the melodies have disappeared is what's lazy, for if these naysayers were to take the time to properly assess "phantom planet," they'd notice them in great abundance. Merely more difficult to find at first spin. Many have seemed somewhat disappointed with this album thus far, but the only disappointment I have found with it is that it wasn't longer. This record is awesome, and I highly recommend it.… Expand

   Personally, I liked The Guest more. I've been a Phantom Planet fan for a few years now, and I still am. However, the new album is quite Personally, I liked The Guest more. I've been a Phantom Planet fan for a few years now, and I still am. However, the new album is quite a different sound. It's hard to hear Alex over the guitar wailing at times, let alone understand what the hell he is saying. The songs are definitely to the likes of The Strokes. However, props to Phantom Planet for not backing themselves up into a corner by keeping the same exact sound for every album. It takes a lot to let the group's sound grow or take a step away from what is expected. For the most part, they are successful. By The Bed and Big Brat are two of the strongest tracks, in my opinion.… Expand
