It's albums like this that make it so hard for Phoenix to follow up their big hit album. Crystal Fighters in many ways are walking down the same path that Phoenix was on back in the 2000's. They are playing around with a bunch of musical influences, mashing them together, and creating solid pop.The opening four songs on their 10 track album are far better than anything on the latest album from Phoenix and though the album struggles home those opening four tracks are so good it makes this one of my favorite albums so far this year. A good album to throw on for a beach trip or while washing the car out in the back yard.
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 3 out of 5 stars for Pretty Good.
I'm just glad to hear you're not spending all of your time inside cleaning house.
