TwiceBitten I've only listened to the stream on NPR through my laptop's speakers (not ideal) so I'm very excited to play it through the hi-fi soon. I'm surprised how much of this is appealing to the inner dad-rocker in me, especially cause I don't really like the Joy material. Waiting All Night, Devotion to a Dream and Sing Monica (and Halfway to the Moon naturally) are really great in that regard. As much as I enjoy the music to Fuego, I just think the lyrics are really not very good. Nonsensical in a way that I feel is different from earlier Phish nonsense. It's funny, part of me feels like I have the same criticism here that many non fans have about the band's material. I guess it's just that the production of the album is so perfect that I almost wish went 100% serious with this one. Oh well, I haven't been 100% in love with any Phish album since I started really listening to their live shows 15 years ago, so I'm not surprised that this one is no different. I guess that's kind of a mixed review.
