[@antoniologan7648]

Am I the only person whom thinks this is their best song next to 1901?

[@AttackAttack619]

Yes

[@AttackAttack619]

Wait a sec no I love those albums

[@jsolo254]

Those two songs jam

[@undrgun]

Lasso, armistice, and lizam something is good too. Also, trying to be cool.

[@antoniologan7648]

Plasic Bubble ill give those a listen

[@Nat-fi5lu]

I can't believe how old this album is. The whole thing is such a masterpiece. It still feels brand new.

[@kwesiwillacy4644]

That’s great music.

[@jools182]

me too! time flies! it still sounds super fresh

[@CaptainCrunchOwns]

After being offered a job, I packed up all of my stuff and moved from DC to New Mexico after law school. My employer paid me to study for the bar. When the time came, I hiked up to Albuquerque to tackle the mighty bar exam. After three years of academic hell in the perpetually overcast drab of the nation’s capital, I now found myself cruising through a citrus-bright, sun-soaked city. ABQ-at least the corner I drove through-was amazing! I popped in a “goodbye” CD a friend gave me and this was track number one. Fell in love with this song in the Land of Enchantment. Even now when I hear it, my heart aches. I so vividly remember those pivotal days, when I was brimming with optimism and my new life was just beginning. God felt near. Maybe nostalgia has glorified the past. Either way, this song is special to me. I passed the bar by the way.

[@Periph1989]

Have you seen the shows breaking bad and/or Better Call Saul?

[@CaptainCrunchOwns]

@@Periph1989 Yes! And they also remind me of those days!

[@Noah-ci1oi]

Damn bro...I can feel the emotion

[@royce4963]

Powerful stuff. I’m so late but congratulations. I hope all is well with you.

[@SSGTStryker]

This entire album is still phenomenal. The drummer is off the chain.

[@eggy7848]

The energy he puts into playing. So sick

[@azmisudrajat]

keep coming back just to see the drummer :)

[@c-treflowz3015]

This band is one of the most underrated. Grammy worthy, Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame Bound and lastly to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame for some of the best lyricism in thier genre between second or fourth to Foo Fighters, Atlas Genius and Vance Joy. hands down.

[@jrunk42]

Play this album at your next house party and reap the rewards of receiving so many compliments on the music. ❤

[@yourboymalachi6228]

Tom Haverford is a hell of a drummer

[@josephwinborne3620]

Thank you so much for this comment. I couldn't have been the only one to think it was aziz.

[@pratikpalchaudhuri8058]

This is one of my fav all time albums. The best from them hands down.

[@Time_to_Stop_Animal_Abuse]

Despite growing up w/great 80's, 90's music, I think Phoenix is just the best.

[@bkobusingye]

drummer so lit.

[@flornotlikeyou]

coolest drummer ever

[@demiphernalia]

Thomas Mars is an angel. I could listen to his singing voice over and over again without getting fed up.

[@thekravika5258]

[@mileschorro]

[@IslandVeeDub]

The drummer, Thomas Hedlund, plays with Phoenix when they're on tour.

[@allen6924]

The Drummer really makes this band go....very distinct sound and style, kinda of reminds of the way Keith Moon of the Who attacked the drum kit.

[@braindaletube]

well at 2:13 we gonna actually heard how amazing the drummer tone is, what a great performance.

[@GoldyMagic212]

He ALWAYS in FIRE...

[@Mrassion]

[@madsvadsager1276]

In the start I listened to the singers voice and thought: "omg, that's awfull", but after watching this video I WANT MORE! Actually I didn't know them before, but I'm kinda sure that I'm FAN! Look at that drummer! This band is like created for me!

[@jmaydon7207]

The drummer in this song 😵 🔥

[@PedroPetracco]

Cool. Thanks! He sounds great too.

[@stephen3]

[@vitaodirufu]

I totally agree my friend!

[@marshallrock696]

ohhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[@23EAA]

Multiple comments saying the drummer is "on fire", my brain would probably explode out of my ears if I could actually see him play while literally being lit on fire... That guy is fcking awesome!

[@gigasbarbaros1589]

Listening 2020

[@alejandrodobromislov5538]

Anyone in 2022?

[@juanpovea1082]

[@rucerial]

1:41 Phoenix takes us into a late night time paradox of improvisational proportions! A black whole!

[@DrCash7]

Giiiirrrrrrrrlfriend 3:11

[@gabriellimamartins9671]

I love the hard beats of thomas hedlund

[@OrganicAlumination]

Omgggggggg I wish I was there to help him sing it lmao

[@ArningEchanoPH]

it's the same night they played on the late night with david letterman. haha. this band is pure!

[@MoonsickStridor]

Being in Cult of Luna would make you drum like that. I love Thomas Hedlund.

[@ChannelZero1031]

Video starts at 0:31

[@gabrielcarvalhoskiil4027]

2021 anyone?

[@madelinezezuto]

My mans

[@totocion]

Justo en el clavo!

[@zetterburger]

Also the best late night host there is.

[@TheLoulette9999]

Best men ever ♥

[@Adrius-41]

vive la France !!!!

[@graffreviewguru]

the drummers actually missing all the bones in his neck so his head flops uncontrollably while he's playing

[@12352600]

Sounds just like his songs

[@JethroZx7532]

The drummer is in the groove. Thumbs if you agree

[@SkyProtonFood]

He's just a sessionist, but you can check him out in his original band, múm. They're from Iceland.

[@stephanemozziconacci6084]

il y a une énergie supra naturel de la part du batteur. Un phénomène incompréhensible ? ou le batteur puise son énergie ?

[@jaredslye3498]

0:46 the Drummer!

[@MEJBD12]

Hedlund is kick ass.

[@epiphonecasino5903]

everyone that think that phoenix has only 4 members thats not true its 6 the drummer and the organ player

[@obunkystaind]

Look at the drummer go!

[@TheB4t5]

@fionaspencer8 They are pop. Not because they are popular (though it is a small part of the reason), but because of their style. Popular or pop musics encompass rock, "pop", hip-hop, smooth "jazz" and anything else that doesn't go under "legit" music. "Legit" music is classical,, orchestral, jazz and the like.

[@ajsledzep]

That drummer is in the zone (cocaine is a hell of a drug).

[@45204922]

สุดยอด

[@floydisbest]

@wanstrup I didn't say it's the album version, it just looks like maybe they recorded his vocals live prior to it. They obviously play to a click track, so it's possible

[@christylovemodels]

That dude is gettin' those drumbs lol

[@KidsFail]

Thomas Hedlund is a fucking BEAST on the drums... add him to your band already, phoenix....

[@floydisbest]

@Benjiloutheking Yes he does, left ear

[@JessicaMaeve]

Who's watching in 2020?

[@benmct91]

Haha this made me laugh so true! The Blue Bart Simpson

[@robertgreddy]

jesus really knows how to headbang

[@worm_of_the_earth]

The drummer is playing his own little song in his head.

[@stupidnicks]

correct!

[@NoelCrisostomo]

Here after watching no strings attached

[@kathysoiio]

@alanenpanico yeahhh! he should be a permanent member of the band!
