your review would fit well in a music magazine or something of the sort, but i was surprised to read very little about the aural quality of the album. i cant chime in because i havent listened to the album in a format besides the npr stream, and the way i see it, it was a fun chance to catch a peek of the sound but not even remotely an accceptable substitute for listening to the real deal which for me will be the vinyl, a vinyl digitized recording, or even a cd quality flac will be ok at minimum. so, my point here is that phish music is a lot more than albums or songs, it is sounds, and subtle ones at that, and fuck, scents too but thats neither here nor there. i am a fiend for great sounds, crunchy leaves and chirping birds mixed into the rhythmic sway of wind rattled branches....again, neither here nor there, ha! i hope that in the future there is a movement in popular culture and phish.net reviews of things such as songs, albums, concerts, jams that focuses on the sounds, the subtle ones, and less jibber jabber about the peripheral stuff. im probably in the minority, and in that case bask in what i call the peripheral and enjoy, but if anyone wants to add their thoughts about the sounds that all those people worked so hard to perfect for us to devour, im all ears. ill share mine once these ears have received a proper bathing in the fuego. stay well yall.
