"Some of the greatest American musicians have been, primarily, bandleaders. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Bob Wills, James Brown, Zappa, George Clinton, this guy.

"This is a fairly unique album in Phish's discography. It's much more jammy and less song-oriented. If you're into that aspect of Phish, then this may be the album for you, but if you'd prefer to hear better songs with more structure then check out Rift or A Picture Of Nectar."  Reply

"It becomes obvious when some people rating the album haven't even listened to it. *cough* nfsporto *cough*, 5/100. Seriously. Great album, first time listener to frightened rabbit and this is a wonderfully crafted album with some great songs. Recommend: state hospital, the woodpile, oil slick."  Reply

"This album is my kind of shit. Oddly enough, One Hot Minute has always been my favorite RHCP album, but Frusciante has always been my favorite member of the Peppers. Figure that one out.

"1. Before you listen to this album be sure to download the "concept EP" spectrum/14th century by Owen pallett. It is set in the same universe as the concept of this album, and is essentially an extension of its storyline.
