They're Back I could listen to this CD for hours and not get bored. One of the best bands ever has finally returned. They have the classics, as well as a few new ones. If you haven't heard Fenix TX, then given them a try, I don't know how you couldn't like them.
Tired of pop-punk
That pop-punk stuff got old quick so these guys turned out an effectively intense follow up to their self-titled debut. Fenix Tx changed their lineup around and grew up a little and turned out what i think was the best rock album of 2001. I'm sure they got tired of the comparisons to blink 182 so they decided to go a different way which to me it works. I saw them live four times and twice it was for their Lechuza tour and they kicked major ass. This album is just an amazing rock record. For all you pop-punk fans there are only like 2 songs that even remnotely sound like their first album. Best songs: "something bad is gonna happen" ,"katie w. ", "abba zabba" and "a song for everyone".
* Has got to be my Favourite CD *
I can't beleive how much I was missing out on. I love this album so much. I downloaded it about. . . 1 month ago, and have been playing it all the time, and I haven't got bored.
It's a lot better than their debut album. I mean, Surf Song, what the hell is that?? Seriously. It's not big, it's not clever, it just sucks. I think on this album there are no low points, and every song is good :)
They have the same sort of sound as Blink, but just sound more grown up. The lead singer has an amazing strong voice, and the guitars on it are so good.
My favourite songs are:
Threesome - it's so catchy, I've been singing it all the time. It has really good words, which are easy to understand. I think that's good because you can sing along better :) The only way it can be improved is by making it longer. Come ON Fenix, you're only giving us 2 and a half minutes here!
Tearjerker - Not really that much to say. It's such a sweet song with great words that are really heartfelt.
Abba Zabba - This never used to be one of my favourites, but now I can't get enough of it! I love the intro, it sounds just like The Strokes who are another of my favourite bands. It has great words and a really catchy chorus.
El Borracho - This is the last song on the album, and is a fantastic way to finish it. It's a really slow, almost ballad song, which such beautiful words. The intro is great, and the instruments are just. . . wow. The lead singers voice is so suited to this, and he sings in a really low, passionate way.
I love this album, and it is definitely worth having :) xx.
whatever happened to these guys?
This was like the soundtrack for the summer of 2001 for me. Their first album was better than any Blink album, and this one was just a kick ass F'n album. . . It was awesome!!Saw em' at warped tour. They got a new guitarist which added some harder elements to the band, and their songwriting is superb. . . I guess they didn't want to be dubbed as the kings of Bubble-punk. . . Well, whether they like it or not, they are the pop-punk kings and as soon as they disappeared there was an idiot uprising. . . Please get your asses back in the throne and RULE!!!!.
Best CD ever
But personally this is my all time favorite cd. Some people might not agree with me. I bought it the day it was released for $6. 99 and on the first listen loved some songs thought some were ok. But boy did it grow on me. The placement of all the songs on the cd, the diversity, heck even the song titles are fantastic. Plus there is no silence on the whole cd. each song segways into another than totally goes to a new place. I'm still very bitter they broke up because if this is what they release for a "sophomore" album than what could they have done?.
