Following on from the slightly disappointing "Hoist" Phish had to create something better to retain their loyal support while bringing over new fans. The result was this immacculately crafted album full of catchy hooks while retaining several of their distinctive jams. The first track, Free, enters with a thumping chord showing a positive statement of intent, while Billy Breathes and Theme from the Bottom show Phish at their most beautiful as well as their funkiest. The mixture of quiet guitar accompaniments and rocking free-for-alls show a much more varied style compared to Hoist's blandness, something that they were to take on to both Story of the Ghost and Farmhouse. This is still the studio album to buy if you think Phish are only good when improvising live.
