Query: Why oh why did they stoop to this?

I could list any number of wrong things with this album- from Phish's lack of musicality to the Dude of Life's lack of singing voice. Let me start by sayng that the Dude of Life is responsible for guiding Phish to some of their loonier places in the first two albums (although none of his lyrics appear on the later ones) and some of that lyric voice can be seen here. Unfortunetly, it is set against a back drop of poor music by Phish, clearly missing the lush arrangments of their other songs, and even ripping off songs like "Chalkdust Torture" at some moments. Added on to that is the Dude of Life's animal-slaying i-sound-like-a-skinned-cat singing voice which is painful to listen to at best. Leave this one on the shelf, and save yourself some cash.
