| - It's great that Phoenix has an upbeat station devoted to energy and beats that make you want to move. I just wish that they had a better rotation. I hear songs repeat way too often. On top of that, I do find the morning and afternoon show hosts to be very annoying. Something about their voices just grates on my nerves. With that said, though, I can over look the talking part of the station, so long as the music part is up to par. Occasionally it is. I really like their late night variety and airtime for the likes of Van Burren and Oakenfold.
Energy Radio, though? Well, they're not lying. It's just a bit too mainstream at times, remixing Spears and Bedingfield when all I really want to hear is some Tiesto or Glaude.
In conclusion, I hear mostly vocal house and party trance on this station. It's great to listen to while you're driving down the highway. But if I were at home, at work or anywhere else but in my car, I wouldn't listen to this station. I'd prefer the company of my own playlists that lean more towards what you'll hear at a club in San Francisco or New York - including beats and grooves by DJ Behrouz, Van Dyk, Scooter & Lavelle, DJ Dan and Jon Bishop.
Over all, 3 stars for effort with definite room for improvement.
