Reviews Customer Reviews for Phoenix Album      YES!      Rating:      The Warlocks understand the importance of melody in psychedelic music. These guys write amazing songs and are one of the leading lights (along with Brian Jonestown Massacre, Photon Band, and Elf Power) in this movement. Joyful drug references abound, kick-ass walls of guitar, solid back beat and a voice that sounds like it's coming from the backseat of your '73 baracuda. This is great summer music, so by all means BUY THIS DISC!     Customer Reviews for Phoenix Album Cd      You say you want a...      Rating:      I'll tell you what some music is... Legal drugs. Some music...spiritually, emotionally, and physically...can indeed get you high. Hendrix himself said that music can be so subliminal, that you can do anything you want to the audience with the monsters you have created. Today's music scene is layed out like a graveyard. Old skeletons have come out of the closet. One band sounds like Television, another sounds like The Stooges, another sounds like Blondie, and the list goes on and on. You could probably name the bands above that have pinched their ancestors' sounds. Some of those bands are good. Some aren't. The Warlocks are one of the good bands. Their music is dope, as in the drug. "The Dope Feels Good" is a 4-minute ode to the San Fransisco Haight-Ashbury jam sessions. The fuzzy organ drone sounds like a happening...like an electric kool-aid acid test. "Shake The Dope Out" can be compared to all the past greats, just like you have read and heard before. The Velvet Underground, the Grateful Dead...but this is one band that can stand up to their inspirations. They have an originality all their own. No band today sounds like The Warlocks. They rock, and they live what they preach. They talk the talk and walk the walk. Tjeir album is a tale. One song can make you larger. Another can make you small. Just ask Alice...when she's 10 feet tall. I hear Woodstock. I hear Jefferson Airplane playing a free music/free soup concert to a crowd of 15. I hear flowers being put into the barrels of guns. I hear a crowd chanting revolution. It's all in there. Their music is what I always wished I could have experienced back when our country was changing...when everything was new. This is a band that can be enjoyed by today's generation, as well as my father's. And it's still cool...or groovy. It's the sound of the past, and the sound of the future. Rock and roll, Warlocks.
