The Story of the Ghost

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Story of the Ghost (Audio CD) If you regard Junta as the pinnacle of all things Phish, save your money and don't buy this album. If you liked Billy Breathes, give it a listen. The same Phish sound is still here: the melodies that glide along in a groove, the lyrics that range between listenable and inane, the upbeat hummable tunes, the mix of styles and influences from rock to funk ("Moma Dance," "Ghost") to reggae ("Limb By Limb") to bluegrass ("Water in the Sky") to soft rock bordering on ambient ("Brian & Robert," "Velvet Sea"). The songs are simpler than we're used to from Phish; I think this is the main problem most people have. "Guyute" aside, each song uses a straight-ahead verse/chorus tune instead of twisting and turning all over the place a la "You Enjoy Myself." The tone is more relaxed than usual, more suited to late night listening than a sunny afternoon outdoors. Phish albums usually seem to have a couple weak tracks, and this is no exception - check "Shafty," "Meat" and "Fikus" - but the rest is definitely worth a listen.
