    "Tonight" must be up there with Phoenix's best songs, but the rest of the album is not that exciting. Sounds as if the band just had the obligation to make new music.

    Ich liebe die Spatzen, ich lebe für die Spatzen. Die Songs werden geträllert, man denkt, die Band wäre eingespielt und sie für sie geschrieben.

    Alpha Zulu proves that while they may play with novel sounds and textures, Phoenix are in no danger of losing their melodic instincts and effortless indie-pop sensibilities.

    The band continues to elevate themselves into one of the country's finest pop exports. [Jan 2023, p.23]

    This is a batch of super simple songs, with super simple melodies, and super simple lyricism. At this point in their career it seems like there isn’t much else to expect from them.
