Title: Phantom Planet
Product review: Phantom Planet was for me the surprise album of the year. My only exposure to Phantom Planet before purchasing their self-titled release was their single "California." I liked the song at the time but never took to the time to check them out. After a friend recommended their new album I took a chance and purchased it. This album is one of my favorites of 2004.Obviously there is a New York influence on this album, but there's still a California mix. My favorite tracks are "1st Things 1st," "By the Bed", and "knowitall." I am sure there are many comparisons that can be drawn, but Phantom Planet's sound stands on it's own. For me it ranks up with The Walkmen's "bows and arrows" and The Killers "Hot Fuss." All three of these albums are great.
