2008 studio album! Finally. “4 stars. Phantom Planet discovered the joys of rockin' out on their third, self-titled album, which felt designed to move them as far away from the piano-driven pop of The Guest as they could get. Four years later, they keep the volume turned up on Raise the Dead, also their first album for Fueled by Ramen. Their anthemic, rowdy sound makes a lot more sense on this label than it did on their previous imprints, and Phantom Planet just seem more comfortable all around on Raise the Dead. Their outbursts are more natural here than they were on Phantom Planet, especially on "Raise the Dead," where they feel completely in control of how the song moves from brisk acoustic guitars to a huge swell of strings and guitars. Raise the Dead is among Phantom Planet's most enjoyable albums.”-AMG. “Grade: B+. eportedly inspired by the music of cult leaders Charles Manson and David Koresh, songs of spiritual unease fill the fourth album from Phantom Planet, the once-sunny tunesmiths behind ''California,'' that indelible O.C. theme song. Thankfully, this L.A.-based quartet pierces the gloom with winsome melodies and swelling, thunderous choruses. While the downbeat ''Leader'' entrances with Arcade Fire-type flourishes (and a children's chorus), tracks like the riotous ''Do the Panic'' rock to the apocalypse with élan. For all the angst, Raise the Dead is ultimately uplifting.”-Entertainment Weekly.
