Phoenix - Ti Amo (June 9th, 2017) Album • Page 5

You guys summed up my thoughts pretty well already. Definitely like it every time I listen but only a few of the tracks are really memorable. The last 2 records, Wolfgang in particular, were solid from start to finish.

 

"Role Model" is the definite standout for me here, but "Fior Di Latte" is a close second

 

I'm sad to see this sold really poorly.

 

Wow, I'm actually surprised at how poorly it did. Here's the breakdown of new releases in order on the Billboard 200

2. sza
3. lady antebellum
4. rise against
5. lindsey buckingham / christine mcvie
6. hillsong united
7. rancid
8. now thats what i call country 10
9. govn't mule
10. glen campbell
11. phoenix
12. dear evan hansen
13. chuck berry
14. anastasia broadway musical cast recording
15. ajr
16. sufjan, nico, bryce, james
17. avriel & the sequoias
18. london grammar
19. the birthday massacre
20. the secret sisters
21. jessie james decker
22. ani defranco

 

It only sold a little over 9k. Not sure how much when streaming gets factored in but I can't imagine it's significantly higher.

 

Yeeeeeeeeesssssshhhh...9k!?

 

wtf 9k......

 

9k sounds rough. Guess it's not entirely surprising without a huge single.

That said, I think there's some really good tracks on here.

 

Bankrupt didnt have a huge single and that still sold like 65k first week, debuting at #4.

Then again that may have been cuz they were riding the wave of popularity from Wolfgang. Still weird that a band that just played the 18k seated Hollywood Bowl and headlined a few large festivals this year didnt even debut in the top 40 this week.

 

Entertainment did pretty well on rock radio, certainly way better than J Boy

 

Phoenix and The Killers have been riding the same festival billing wave for years. Main difference is that The Killers blew up with their debut and Phoenix blew up in the middle of their career. Both are gonna command headline or near-headline slots until the end of time regardless of sales I think.

 

dang...9k sounds almost unreal..weird

 

I like this album (I think?) but I've only listened to it like 3 or 4 times...

 

I pretty much forgot it came out already. I don't hate it though.

 

Fior di Latte is one of their all-time best songs imo

rest is p solid but I also haven't listened to it that much

 

Yeah I feel like I'll probably never hear this album in full again

 

I listen to j-boy a lot, one of my favorite songs of the summer, and the song after it is solid. Usually change albums after that.

 

I don't come back to this as a full album play, but when the songs pop up on the shuffle they're enjoyable. Great summertime listening.

 

Something tells me these guys don't really have to care about record sales anymore anyways

What a groovy bassline in "Ti Amo"

 

oh, new video today too!

 

I'm seeing Phoenix by myself tomorrow am I gonna have fun

 

New album might be whatever but yes you will absolutely have fun

 

What a weird video for a funky song like Ti Amo. Here are some 70's vaginas and the band looking extremely bored
