Bummed is what you are when you go out to your car and its been towed.

I woke up one morning
In November
And I realized I love you.
Its not your headlights in front
Or your tailpipe
Or the skylight above you.
Its the way that you cling to the road
When the wind tries to shove you.
I'd never go driving away and come back home without you.

the only one that actually sucked was farmhouse.

the rest are actually pretty good. you just have to turn off the part of your brain that expects it to sound like lawnboy.

ill check out the new album.....

While not on par with the likes of Lawnboy or Rift, Farmhouse is a pretty decent album. Now, Hoist, while it does have a few good songs, just seems all jumbled and mis-directed.

Agreed. I especially agree if those "good songs" are "Sample in a Jar", "Down With Disease" and "Julius".

img1.fark.net is right. I wish they would just let it be. I have so many amazing memories of great shows in the past, and every bad one since then kind of knocks them down a little, especially Coventry and the shows leading up to it. Really kind of sad to watch.

That being said, I'll be at Hampton, hoping like crazy they've got their shiat together again. We'll see how this album turns out, I guess, if they are in fact recording a full one.

Sleeping Monkey: the keyword being 'recent'

Subby here...I made sure to amend my headline to include that.

I thought Farmhouse was a decent album, but everything after that seemed to go steadily downhill, IMO. I saw a string of shows in '03 and only one in '04 and I was more often than not disappointed with the quality of the shows. I also downright refuse to listen to the Coventry shows. With that all being said, now that Trey is (hopefully) off the drugs, perhaps they will be returning to their previous fine form. One can only hope.

Now who the fark has my ticket to Hampton?!?!

 
moistD 2008-12-04 03:55:01 PM  
I'll pass, not my style of music. Talented yes, but I find it impossible to listen to.

I thought they had broken up? I need to keep up with my Vermont/New Hampshire news, whichever they are from

 
huckfarley 2008-12-04 03:55:10 PM  
As a dude that got into Phish with Hoist, I don't mind it. Not my fave, but still my first, so it's got a place in my heart.

I'm a recovering hippie who is probably past his prime with Phish, however, I still think both Picture of Nectar and A Live One still rock.

Ashamed to say I was a big fan i high school. Like the songs, hate the jams. Everyone makes mistakes.

/also liked the drugs.

Listening to the 12/31/93 Hood right now. Their Golden Age, if you will. I liked Farmhouse a lot, thought Round Room sounded thrown together (it was), and I don't care if they release another studio work ever. I just want to see them play live again, like they did back in '94 when I first got into them. Since Trey has (knock on wood) cleaned himself up, I've got high hopes. The last time I saw them (Alpine Valley '04, second night) was just kind of sad. Decent show, but nothing compared to where they were in the 90s.

You are a hippie,

Never trust a hippie. I learned that the hard way.

Phish Changed My Life - In a good WAY!! It was 2003, I was 355lbs, sad, single, alone, pissed off and LOVED Heavy Metal.
My neighbor dragged me to 2 nights of Phish @ The Gorge.

The first night sucked. The Second night changed my life forever.

I felt re-wired after the show, a completely different person. I came away from that experience truly enlightened. I went from 355-190lbs, I am happy, healthy and everything in my life got better. My work, my relationships with people, my outlook on life, my musical tastes, all improved.

So 4 Weird-O's from Vermont Changed my Life Forever.

I thought I was crazy, until I met other people that had very simmer experiences.

So you cant like metal and Phish? Did you ever even really like metal or were you just a fat kid who need a thing.

Good for you though. I have a fat friend who did something similar but he just ate alot of adderal. I have seen them a bunch of times and it was always a good time, never changed my life, but I always tripped pretty good.

LOL... "Farmhouse" is the only Phish album I have!
[on vinyl, nontheless]
it's pretty ok...
some good songs... overall pretty interesting, i suppose.
good pop/rock/jam

/ pop-rock jam?
mmmm poprocks

 
SeattleSublime 2008-12-04 06:28:45 PM  
I was really into the Deftones, Pantera, White Zombie - Stuff like that. I was into really ANGRY Music. I don't listen to "Angry Music" anymore.
When I came back from the show, I was hooked on Phish and became interested in "Jambands". Living in Seattle, the whole "Jam" thing was totally new to me.

I started going to shows, meeting "Jam" people. This lead me to eating Organic food and slowly becoming....a farking hippie...

I went on 5 Jam Cruise's, Bonnaroo 4 times, Went to Bunting Man Twice, I went to Coventry (That sucked!!), Got into Yonder, String Cheese...

Now 5 years later I would not consider myself a Hippie. I just eat healthy; have a positive outlook on life and an amazing job. I am one lucky dude.

The only "Metal" I listen to every now and then is Tool.
Lots of people, all over the world have gone to Dead or Phish shows and had their lives changed forever.

It might not be as drastic as my story, but I am not alone.

 
FeedTheCollapse 2008-12-04 06:43:11 PM  
I have no real opinion of Phish, but I must say that I do find it interesting that Trey has been quoted as saying he'd love to rework My Bloody Valentine's Loveless album on stage.

 
callamack 2008-12-04 06:51:36 PM  
Man, I hope they get it together. Hopefully the setlists coming out of Hampton don't have shiat like Friday, Mexican Cousin, Birds, and Heavy Thing in them.

And I love Hoist. DWD, Axilla, Dog-Faced Boy, Lifeboy, SOAM, Wolfman's... nice.

Not to mention Demand (Split). Don't sleep on Hoist. Many of these songs are killer live. Trey nearly had the Mansfield crowd in tears when he played Dog-Faced Boy in the show leading up to Coventry.

I wish they had done that, I love that album.

One of their things used to be that they'd put on a "musical costume" for one set of their three set halloween shows, and cover a classic album in its entirety. They did the White Album, Who's Quadrophenia, Talking Heads' Remain in Light, and Velvet Revolver's Loaded. For the most part they usually were spot on.

 
DrBimka 2008-12-04 06:56:43 PM

clearly that should have been Velvet Underground. Oops.

See, I always thought Hoist was the beginning of the end for Phish. This is not to say I didn't enjoy the next few years after Hoist was released, but I feel like that album set them in a downhill path.

I, too, would love to hear Phish cover Loveless.

I'd probably check out Phish if they play close to me (i.e., Merriweather). Meh.

Anyone seeing DSO for NYE?

FTFA: Though the photograph's author is unknown...
If only there was a word for artists or professionals whose specific medium is photography...

I like Farmhouse a lot. Round Room is meh. I haven't listened to Undermined all the way through yet, though I really like a couple of the songs I've heard live/on bootlegs - Pebbles and Marbles, Scents and Subtle Sounds.

I'm hopeful that they can keep pushing the sound forward rather than rehash or incorporate too much directly from their side projects. While '03 and '04 were sloppy compared to the early 90s, there was a lot of really good shiat in there when they hit it. Feb. 03 had some incredible music (Nassau Tweezer, e.g.) The SPAC shows on the '04 tour were amazing. Even the 1st night at Coventry was good show, once you dragged ass off the highway/out of the mud.

Got shut out from Hampton. Me and everyone I know that tried to get tickets. Hoping for a Northeast festival.

Buncha chumps with cymbals, saxaphones, skyscrapers, and be-bop. They call that a band. You probably never heard of them...

HarpuaMM:
Ghost has grown on me. I didnt like it at all when it first came out.
