Customer Reviews of Phoenix
Departure for Xymox but Not as Bad as You've Been Told They lost most of their Goth and alternative fans with this one due to it unapologetically pop sound (don't worry, they've since kissed and made up with Clan's rededication to darkness). Hey, Goths like dance, but not when it's this obvious. To be honest it sounds a whole lot like the mid-80's synth band Book of Love, especially when female member Anke sings. But that isn't the most horrible thing in the world; they could've sounded like Bon Jovi or Loverboy. The songs that most have this feel are "Smile Like Heaven", "Written in the Stars" and the Patti Smith cover "Dancing Barefoot". Also cheesy was the lead single "Phoenix of My heart" which does an outtro blending in verses from "Wild Thing".
However the people who throw this disc out entirely are missing soemthing special. "The Shore Down Under" is a slow developing, darkly beautiful piece with a throbbing yet subdued bassline - I know that's hard to imagine but trust me here. That song is on par with anything they'd done previously and reminds me of a more romantic, introspective version of the broody "Craving" from 'Twist of Shadows'. Xymox fans, go dig up this disc or borrow it just to hear this song - it is sadly a lost treasure by this band that you fans are overlooking.
The rest is disappointing by previously set standards, with moments of solid dance pop if that's what you were looking for... obviously existing X fans were not. A strange omission is the wondrous, ether-surfer "Dreamhouse", which was a b-side to one of the lesser singles. It would have been the second best song on the CD, saturated with some of the dreamiest, most meditative music you'll find. Get it if you can - good luck trying.
Probably one of my Top 10 Favorites
This CD is one of the best CD's I have ever heard. I am not a die hard XYMOXER. Everything I read about this CD is that it sucks. I am here to tell you that it doesn't. This CD is unexpected almost pop from XYMOX. I think their best effort!!
Incredible.
A very poor showing
Ah yes the nightmare Ronny Moorings doesn't want to see or hear of again. I can understand - this is dreadful stuff. Well OK I'm being a bit cruel. But the songs sound so tuneless that it's horrible to believe that this is the same band who would make A Day and Your Vice - then again I suppose technically it's not since the band has changed many times. I think this must be the point where Anka moved out and Mojca came in on the next album. But there tends to be a total lack of depth in the music ( I was going to say originality but even at their greatest Xymox were never the most original in terms of music but were enjoyable ).
You probably have to be an utter diehard to enjoy this at all. But then maybe all Xymox fans are a little diehard
