‘Suspended Animation’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Lead single “4-1-05″ and “4-2-05″ start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since completing 2005’s ‘4-1-05′, Fantomas fulfilled their contract with Blue Note Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. 4-3-05 is the song that really did it for me. I loved 4-4-05 the first time I heard it. 4-5-05 is almost impossible to review. Once you hear 4-6-05, you will listen to it over and over. When I listen to 4-7-05 in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. I can’t stop playing 4-8-05. In 4-9-05 the music gets its power. 4-10-05 is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. 4-11-05 is the more seemingly obscure song on Suspended Animation that bear up best to repeated listening. It took me a little time but I ended up loving 4-12-05. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. 4-14-05 (2:20) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! I was truly moved when I heard 4-15-05. This is one hell of a track. This song is dynamic and dramatic. 4-18-05 is a exquisite sing-along. 4-19-05 to me is the best you can get from Fantomas. Music and lyrics of 4-20-05 creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. 4-21-05 - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. The opening track 4-22-05 is very much like you would expect from other albums. The sound of 4-23-05 is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. 4-25-05 great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Fantomas sings 4-26-05 in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. 4-27-05 is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. 4-28-05 - A strong beat. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. I now have 4-30-05 as one of my personal favorites.
