Capitol finally got the message that there is still a huge demand for this group. You don't need to pay high prices for OOP Japanese CD's anymore. Now you can buy them here and they are 24 bit remastered to boot. Buy and enjoy.
A Great Transition Album!! November 19, 2002

As The Mighty Phoenix rises from the ashes; GFR was rising from the ashes as well after of a long lawsuit with there former manger Terry Knight. Mark, Don and Mel Got the Name Grand Funk Railroad and Terry Knight got everything else. Phoenix was GFRs only self produced effort and I think its just a great album (CD). It was a departure from the early power trio days and they had added Craig Frost (Keyboard) to the band to round and fill out the sound. The album had one Radio hit, Rock N roll Soul that is a fine song and GFR plays it to this day, But the album is filled with very good songs that are somewhat forgotten and should not be. Someone is a sad and pretty yearning for love song. Rain Keeps Fallin again a nice love song. Freedom Is For Children a political song speaking about what our feature would hold. She Got to Move Me an interesting hard rocking song about a young groupie. Trying To Get Away a common theme in GFRs and excellently wrote and Sang song. I Just Got To Know Again Political, an anti war song and much more and Gotta Find Me A Better Day Another well written song Don Brewer and Mark Farner are both underrated song writers and the songs hear on Phoenix are all well written with one exception; So You Won't Have To Die is a Little Goofy On The Lyrics it goes from dealing with over population to getting your soul saved and does not make the transition well, but not a bad song. Flight Of The Phoenix an Instrumental that just flat out rocks, the electric fiddle added in there is just terrific and a first at the time in Rock N roll. Phoenix also as a rocking bonus track of Flight Of The Phoenix and is a remasterred CD with 24 bit technology, It sounds wonderful, it also has restored the original artwork and has new liner notes. This album sold a million copies back in the day, but that was smaller sales then GFRs pervious albums, it was a transitional period of GFR where GFR was searching for a new identity after there break up with Terry Knight and I think they did a wonderful Job; This is a must have CD for all GFR fans. Next came We're An American Band and Shinin On so the transition worked and GFR was back on top of the rock n roll world.

The Gods of Thunder made a change, and an interesting one at that. This Piece of music was very very underrated, and still is today. But its still an excellent CD. And every true Grand Funker will get this . The extended FOTP is worth the price alone. Get it.
Rising From The Ashes, Indeed! December 15, 2005

Back in the day, record reviewers loved to hate Grand Funk Railroad. But that didn't stop people from buying their records and selling out their shows. Some of the reviewer criticisms may have been somewhat valid - Grand Funk songs tend to be somewhat simplistic, etc. But kids in the late 60s and early 70s weren't always searching for complexity in their music. I liked "Phoenix" because it had a pretty consistent groove and enough diversity to make it flow well. All these years later, I still find time to give it the occasional spin. "She Got to Move Me", "I Just Gotta Know" and "Gotta Find Me a Better Day" still sound great!
still rocks after all these years July 27, 2006

Having been born in Flint, I naturally am prejudice toward Grand Funk. I remember when the live album came out and would have to say this is the best album they ever put out. The remix of "Flight" is outstanding.
