Album Review
For a debut album from a relatively young band (most of the members are still teenagers), Phantom Planet Is Missing is very accomplished and appealing. While the hooks aren't particularly strong, the band makes up for it with youthful exuberance and very colorful instrumentation — the music is upbeat and synthesized flourishes abound. Instead of taking the route that many other younger alternative rock bands take (Silverchair's grunge or Eve 6's punk), Phantom Planet walk the line between pop and alternative and manage to carve out their own unique sound — a rarity for younger alternative bands. Unfortunately, the album didn't sell nearly as well as albums by Silverchair or Eve 6, but it did manage to build a cult following and the single "So I Fall Again" was featured on the soundtrack to the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch. "Down in a Second" and "I Was Better Off" are also highlights on this promising debut.
Customer Reviews
Great album!
I'm shocked and appalled at the reviews this album is getting! It's sooooo good! I've had this album for eight years and it's an all-time favorite. You have to remember that this was Phantom Planet's FIRST ALBUM. You can't say "Oh I loved the other two albums and this is just such a dissapointment!" Because if you say this, you're obviously unaware that this came before those two. This is totally worth buying. With the exception of "Don't Get Down", every song on this CD is great. Buy it!
Good in 98 and still good in 07
So I actually got a portion of this album at a surf/snowboard convention in Anaheim back 1997, and when it was released 98 I bought it up. I disagree with the review I think that the hooks are solid as is the writing. Obviously the lyrics are not that deep, it was written when Greenwald was in his teens, but who has done anything that great as a teen, I spent my teen years in a smoke filled haze listening music and playing video games.... At any rate top notch first effort!!
yay
great band great album down in a second = good song
