Phish- The Story Of The Ghost
About Story Of The Ghost
Amazon.com The only ones more ardent and fanatical than Phish lovers are Phish haters, and of course, both parties support their opinions based on the exact same criteria. However, as the band matures and their sound ripens, the naysayers' stance becomes increasingly difficult to defend. Ghost, their seventh studio effort, is the quartet's most balanced and well-rounded studio collection, one that finds the middle ground between their wild stage forays and their more recent toned-down records while intensifying their ever-growing "cow funk" elements. Along the way there is room for concise song craft and angular complex journeys; thick funk, high-tempo romps, and quiet reflective passages; nuggets of lyrical wisdom floating in the usual sea of nonsense; cerebral prog-rock majesty tempered by visceral one- chord grooves; simplicity and psychedelia; instrumental precision and loose rambling. The twists and turns of "Guyute" will be familiar to the congregation as will the deep funk of "Meat" and bookends "Ghost" and "The Moma Dance." "Water in the Sky" takes a classic country progression and infuses it with a propulsive, almost Latin rhythm. Early-period albums may have better (and lengthier) jams, later albums may have better songs, but no other Phish album blends both aesthetics as well. --Marc Greilsamer Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE Review As demonstrated on this ninth album ... [Phish] perform percussive, guitar-driven jazz fusion utterly unlike the Dead's spaced country rock. -- People Phish aim for more sensitive tunes, though most are as pale and homely as their singing. -- Entertainment Weekly Phish exploit their subtlety like never before, with airy, uncluttered grooves and relaxed vocals that sound as if they were delivered between catnaps. -- Rolling Stone Stuffed to the gills with drowsy, colorless vocals and pedestrian arrangements, the material lacks the soul or sizzle to rise above geek-funk. -- USA Today
