Like Spoon: a few great singles, generally flaccid albums.

Recommendations on more records that sound like United?

ten months pass...
*Sigh* I love United. It hasn't lost an ounce of flavor to me. I tried to like the 2nd album, but it just never did much for me. I'm gonna keep trying though. Do you think the world is made up of people who love funky squaredance and people who can't stand funky squaredance?

why isn't this thread 400 posts long? there must be another thread where everyone talks about united.

Ti Amo was last year and i really don't remember anything about it.

Ti Amo had at least 3 top tier Phoenix songs, was a bit underwhelming overall though

I thought Ti Amo was solid. Maybe their weakest album overall, but I still got a lot from it. Has a Phoenix albums poll been done on here? I'd be interested to see which album would come out on top. I really have a tough time picking between the first four. They've all been my favourite at some point (apart from that week when I though Bankrupt was their masterpiece!)

Which are?

I really love J-Boy, Fior Di Latte, and Lovelife. WAP is solidly their best album though

It’s Never Been Like That is the record for me. Suspect I mentioned this on the WAP thread but it was the theme music for the weekend at my bachelor party. I’ve heard all the criticism – that it’s sub-Strokes, lacks the dance element of their first two records, etc. But I’ve never heard a record that (ahem) united so many listeners with disparate tastes.

It's Never Been Like That has become one of my most played albums of theirs after initially dismissing it. Alphabetical could be my favourite overall, but it does change all the time.
