Corporate Line: The Phantom Planet record was recorded in Fredonia , New York (an Amish town) in an Amish built log cabin deep within the middle of the woods. It was the perfect place for the band to escape their wild lives in Los Angeles and focus on making an album without any distractions. It was in this cabin, that Phantom Planet paired up with Grammy award winning producer Dave Fridmann to create their best record to date.
The Good:
n/a
The Average:
1 st Things 1 st Too cool for my taste.
The Happy Ending and Badd Business Phantom Planet’s offering is quite simply an acquired taste. One I find a little bitter.
Big Brat If the mix had come out with so much distortion this might have been tolerable.
By The Bed Again with the destructive sound of shimmer distortion. Yuck.
The Ugly:
n/a
Frankly: As stated Phantom Planet is certainly an acquired taste please leave it out of my main course. It’s too contrived and cool’ to be interesting in a month or a year. This isn’t your Phantom Planet. Don’t be fooled into thinking it is poor production because that is never the case in today’s overproduced record industry this was a choice a bad, bad choice.
