Ever since hearing 'Satisfaction' I have been hooked onto the sound that Benny and Alle Benassi bring to the table. 'Hypnotica' was one of their first major cds and it included that patent raw chainsaw sound that just keeps us coming back for more and keeps the dance floors jumpin.

They followed up with another great album in 'Pumphonia', which introduced us to the wonderful vocals of both Sandy and Dhany. The beatiful Dhany showed off her beatiful voice in 'Hit My Heart', while Sandy brought her powerful and stunning vocals in the hit 'Illusion', which to this day is my favorite song.
These 2 vocalists were a perfect addition to the Benassi sound, so it is no suprise that the Benassi Bros come at it again, this time with their new album 'Phobia'. 5 of the 12 songs on this album feature Dhany and 3 of the songs feature Sandy. Then there is the new additon to the Biz of Naan, and she is featured in 2 of the songs. The hit single of this cd is 'Every Single Day', a song which has a great beat mixed in with another strong performance from Dhany. This is a great one for the dance floor, and one of my favorite on the album. Another one of my favorite songs on the album also features Dhany in 'Make Me Feel'. This is another song whose beat is sure to get you up and dancing.
Other strong performances by Dhany are in the songs 'Run to Me' and 'Somebody to Touch Me'. But don't count Sandy out! She leads in one of my favorite songs on the album, 'CastAway', which has great lyrics along with a killer beat. 'Light' and 'Movin Up' are 2 other solid performances by Sandy on 'Phobia'. Naan brings a new vocal sound to the Benassi Bros, and although she is not as great as Sandy or Dhany, she is still a great addition to the album, especailly in the song 'Rocket in the Sky'. Overall, this is a wonderful album which integrates that addictive sound of Benny Benassi along with solid vocals.
The previous cds we have seen from the Benassi Bros have not been so vocal-oriented, but they definetly hit a homerun with this album. A perfect mix of vocals and dance beats which can make for a sweaty night on the dance floor, or for on-to-go listening on your iPod. Although this album does not contain a song that is one of my favorite Benassi songs, it is a very solid album overall, and a definite pickup if you love that Chainsaw sound the Benassi Bros always deliver.
