"Phoenix is a great combination of bouncy, catchy, sing-a-long songs that will be a great addition to anyone's rock music collection."

"PHOENIX is danceable and should be in everyone's CD collection, they mix rock and some hip hop aspects. ZEBRAHEAD has about a half a dozen albums and I think this is one of the best."

East Coast Romper
"Songs such as als ‘Hell Yeah!’, ‘Mental Health’, and ‘Ignite’ are guaranteed (festival) hits."

Gothtronic
"'Death by Disco' and 'Hell Yeah!' are anthems in waiting and perfect for that hot summer's day. If you're looking for that good time party album you've just found it."

"Zebrahead is pure party energy"
—
Metal Hammer
"These 16 hyper-melodic Punkrock-hymns are mixed up through snappy Ska-elements (‘Just The Tip’) and dynamic Rap-parts (‘All For None And None For All’). Only 311 are able to combine those genres so deftly, until now!
Exactly the right ticket for a barbecue, cruising and partying."

ROCK HARD MAG
"At least they aren’t afraid to mix old-fashioned stuff with new stuff to form their, a little bit antiquated but always top-qualitative, sound. Even the first songs remind of Sugar Ray’s ‘Lemonade & Brownies” – unlike that Zebrahead are proficient to play their instruments."

Motox Magazine
"Even the singings in two voices are WORLD CLASS-composed, the riffs are snotty and ease the undeniable “commerce-factor” of this record."

Metal Hammer
"These sunburnt Beach Boys in Bermuda Shorts afford laid-back Melodic-Hardcore with fun-attitude."

EMP Katalog
"All in all an album, easy to digest, which is classified among Green Day, Billy Talent, Blink 182 and Mucky Pub."

EMP Katalog
"The supposedly unenviable opening slot on the Tuborg is lapped up by Zebrahead (KKK) who make the best of a still-filling fetival by bouncing out 30 minutes of pop-punk giddiness, rap dude Ali Tabatabaee sprinting stage left to right and working a willing crowd well."

Kerrang
"There are 16 tracks in all, which means that there will undoubtedly be a little something for everyone -- particularly faithful Zebrahead fans."

"Zebrahead has outdone themselves again with this album."

"
As of 2008, Lewis and his Zebrahead compadres are so in the zone on their new album Phoenix, everyone else in the pop punk ranks ought to be on the edge of vomiting with envy."

The Metal Minute
"Phoenix is dangerously addictive no matter your age bracket and it might possibly take the improbable position as the Sgt. Peppers of its ilk. At the very least, this is the feelgood album of the summer..."

"There is enough on Phoenix to keep the hordes of Zebrahead fans happy for some time – they won’t get tired of these songs and they definitely won’t grow tired of the energy of this band. Phoenix can satisfy both - no problem."

"
It almost feels like the label ordered the band to write at least 10 hit singles or there would be no release because there are plenty of potential hits lined up on "Phoenix"."

Melodic.net
"On Zebrahead’s latest endeavor entitled Phoenix, the Orange County-based band rise from the ashes and deliver a one two punch of hook-filled pop harmonics over a metallic, hardcore punk foundation.
(4 Out of 5)"

"there are some at least that knock so heartily on the door of greatness, that it seems unimaginable that they would not be let in. Phoenix is one of those albums."

"Zebrahead have once again demonstrated their ability to write effective and slick rap-inspired pop punk, bounding with energy and full of hooks."
—

"From “Hell Yeah!”, the second track, Zebrahead’s clear potential for dominating both moshpits and charts is clear. This is a compulsive, full-on album of joy, enthusiasm, and great rock music. Not to be missed."

"100% about playing punk rock and pleasing their fans and that’s one of the factors that make Zebrahead such a good band as they are clearly in the music business for the right reasons unlike some money grabbing big shot American bands"

"I challenge anyone to listen to 'Phoenix' and try and find a song within the 16 tracks on the album that doesn’t ooze with fast infectious punk rock energy - rated 4/5"

"Phoenix is reminder of how much fun rock and roll can be. There's no pretension or false humility here, just good old fashioned blow out the speakers playing.... Phoenix is a must-hear."
