Paulscoconutass Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Man, I've had this album since it came out, and listened to it more than any other CD i own(other than Enama) and i still can't believe how much i still like it, and when i start listening to it again it's in my CD player for months.The album goes from full on pop/punk and begins to enter the a bit of metal towards the second half. The sound and dynamics in songs like 'A song for everyone' and 'Katie W' are so damn good, the vocal harmonies are more than nifty and the songs in general could be appreciated by almost everyone.Anyone else feel that this is one of the best alt./rock/whatever albums in recent times???

SnowWhite Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 They are my favourite band ever. I cried when they split...I never even got to see them live I love lechuza so much, their better album I think. They should have released another album before they split.

Kai Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yeah, Fenix TX were ace. Nikki-G had the old version of their first CD, back when they were River Fenix. The tracks on it are different from those on the re-issued version of the album. 'Ben' for instance, was re-recorded when they became Fenix TX. Both albums are ace.

Paulscoconutass Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Didn't they split up over a difference in musical oppinions, it's pretty obvious from lechuza that ther's some heavy metal influences, and sure flat out punk rock - and the bonus instrumental on the europen lechuza (after all my fault) sounds like a metallica song...... i also think that had they stayed together they would have probably been bigger than blink 182 at the moment. Threesome was a shock hit and mr. hoppus even appeard in the all my fault video.But yea - life-changing album!!!I also need to scab a shot of Nikki G's 'River Fenix' disc.....
