Phoenix has created an interesting album with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. At first listen it's easy to dismiss it as overproduced and too polished, sticking too firmly to pretty guitar chords and pop-influenced drum beats. But listen to it a couple more times, and the emotion and energy that Phoenix possess becomes apparent. Even with their music's electronic flair and polished pop sound, it's definitely not lifeless. In fact, Phoenix created one of the most fun albums of 2009 with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, especially with the two exemplary songs that kick the album off. However, they don't stick only to slick pop songs like Lisztomania or 1901, they also make a quite successful foray into electronic ambiance with "Love Like a Sunset", which is one of the most expansive and beautiful moments on the album. I can say with much confidence that Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is the best album of 2009, and one of the greatest pop albums released in recent memory.

A solid pop-rock-indie effort if a bit samey and unimaginative throughout its later half. The instrumental experimentation that makes up the two parter feels out of place among the general indie pop the album is filled with. Opener Lisztomania comes up as genuinely fantastic, and is not followed far behind by Countdown and the Instrumental piece Love Like a Sunset, Pt. 1. The rest of the album comes up as too samey to be truly memorable and too poppy to be truly interesting beyond a passing admiration.

With singles to be a huge success in America, this album speaks for itself that you don't have to make a magical change in your sound to make it huge one day.

1901 gotta love it. Yeah I do too. Listzomania, gotta love it. Rest of the album, gotta like it.

Phoenix is nothing if not a great singles band ? songs like ?1901? and ?Lisztomania? have an undeniable appeal of their own ? but Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix fails to coalesce into a true album. There?s little sense of flow here; often I found myself feeling as if I was listening to a greatest hits compilation. There?s one crucial difference, however: on a greatest hits compilation every song would be as fabulous as ?Lisztomania?. And that?s not the case.
