I don't understand the connection between Phish 2.0 and the Disco Biscuits. Whereas 2.0 Phish often meanders and then fizzles (in the best way possible, i'm infinitely more impressed with this period than i used to be. feels way more post-rock and less 'generic jamband'), the Biscuits almost have a compulsive need to keep the forward momentum going. During 2.0 it seemed like Phish was trying to escape their old conventions of jamming whereas the Biscuits approach is so methodical that they sometimes seem to be clinging to their rules.

This is the exact reason why 2.0 is such a special time. Phish really was reaching for what came next, after the rock and roll peak, the tension released... what was next???

In 3.0 they seem to have regressed back to the old tension and release formula, which is frankly boring at this point.
