by antc1018 This record is a steal at this price!

by HollywoodCali This album is a masterpiece! It should be in the running for album of the year! 'Say Say' and 'Last Time' are simply perfect!

by radical__rachel I've been waiting for months for this album to come out, and now that it has finally been released, I can surely say that it's just as amazing as I thought it would be, if not better. Youngblood Hawke has such an interesting and different sound that leaves your mind blown after listening to their songs. Definitely buy it. It's a solid investment.

Coming on the scene with a throwback style that betrayed his years, Pittsburgh-based rapper Mac Miller had just turned 18 when he spent 2010 making his name through mixtapes and video sharing websites. Born Malcolm McCormick, Miller first used the alias “Easy Mac”, a name referenced on his debut mixtape, 2007’s But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy. His K.I.D.S. mixtape became his breakthrough when it was released in August of 2010, earning plenty of attention... Full Bio

Bankrupt! (Deluxe) - Phoenix

Somewhat sneakily, as they honed their blend of new wave, synth pop, soft rock, and all things '80s for the better part of a decade, Phoenix became one of the most influential acts of the 2000s and 2010s. When they married that distinctive style to some of their strongest songs on 2009's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, that album's mainstream success felt like a well-earned reward for their years of defining a sound that had permeated a lot of pop culture. Its follow-up, Bankrupt!, isn't nearly as devoid of new ideas as its title suggests, but it doesn't feel like quite the leap forward Wolfgang was compared to what came before it. Not that it necessarily needs to be; Phoenix sound more comfortable and confident than ever on songs like the lead single, "Entertainment," which defines almost everything that they do on the rest of the album with its galloping beats, earnest vocals, and Asian-tinged keyboard melodies. "Trying to Be Cool," "Don't," and "Oblique City" also carry over the bouncy irresistibility of the band's breakthrough, and even if they don't have the star-making power that "1901" and "Lisztomania" did, they reveal Phoenix's deep love and even deeper knowledge of '80s pop magic in their deft major-to-minor key changes and strategically placed buildups and breakdowns. These little touches help the band stand out among its like-minded contemporaries, and it helps that Phoenix have been drawing inspiration from the '80s longer than that decade actually existed (the fact that they mixed Bankrupt! on the console used in the making of Michael Jackson's Thriller might have contributed some good '80s karma as well). Elsewhere, they pay lip service to another of that decade's icons with "Drakkar Noir," and the way Thomas Mars pronounces it almost makes the overbearing cologne cool again. Here and on "The Real Thing," the band ponders and crosses the line between real and fake, taking it to new levels on "S.O.S. in Bel Air," which could reignite the debate between Strokes and Phoenix fans over who copied who first (and who does it better). Later on, things get interesting — particularly for longtime fans — when the band indulges its experimental side on songs like the seven-minute title track, which prefaces Mars' vocals with a lengthy stretch of baroque keyboards, and the expansive melancholy of "Chloroform" and "Bourgeois." Even if moments like these aren't exactly in keeping with the sound that broke Phoenix, they're a reminder that the bandmembers ultimately became popular by being themselves. Bankrupt! lets them celebrate with a victory lap that's enjoyable for all concerned. [A double-disc version of Bankrupt! that included 71 "sketches" from the album's recording sessions was also released.]

by chris.doc It's going to be epic.

by jason4400 Looks peachy.... sounds peachy..... Peachy.....

by autobahnsau Dear Itunes,
It's so unfair to release a teaser like this. It breeds obsessive listening to a single track and makes me pine for something I cannot have, which only makes me want it more... sigh...
Phoenix will dominate again with Bankrupt! Can't wait!

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Bankrupt! - Phoenix

by Gavman1555 If you thought Harlem Shake was a good song, think again! THIS is real music, THIS is what should be at the top of the charts, like number 1, but of course, no one likes real music, so they wouldn't know what real music is, even if it shot them repeatedly in the head! This is great, absolutely love you guys! Keep up the work. I was wondering when you would come out with another album, and when I visited iTunes, there it was, waiting for me.

by LOCOVIDEO I've been listening to Phoenix for four years and waiting for this album for five months now. I seriously cried listening to Entertainment! Whoo can't wait till April! :)

by GoGoPantherTed I really wish iTunes would stop letting people review a whole album based solely on squealing girlish fandom and one pre-release single. It tells me nothing about the whole album, which is what I thought these sections were for in the first place. If "Entertainment" is any indication, this album will sound just like the last one. But until then, let's all calm ourselves and wait and see, shall we?
