Phoenix's third album is considered their best effort yet. The record consists of songs that the band recored and produced with subtlety in mind. Though, still adding a personal touch of upbeat tunes and dulcet sounds.
It's Never Been Like That is an/a Electronic / Indie Rock / Pop album by Phoenix released in May 23, 2006 under Astralwerks Records.

[edit] About
This record sounds warmer and more tame than the first two albums. Although the opening song Napoleon Says takes a satirical edge in the bands song line up, with lyrics like "You want to be European/I would be your Bonaparte" will definitely make you smile the whole day. Other tracks like Consolation Prizes will make your head bob back and forth. All in all, the record is a delightful recording of electronic, post-punk, pop and indie mixture of irony, but with depth clear enough to be felt by every song.
