Our Take

In the vast ocean of jam bands, Phish has always been the elusive white whale, captivating audiences with their unpredictable live performances and genre-bending musicality. With their latest offering, "Big Boat," the Vermont quartet sets sail on a musical journey that is as ambitious as it is perplexing.

From the moment the album kicks off with the funky grooves of "Friends," it's clear that Phish is not content to simply cruise on familiar waters. The band effortlessly navigates through a sonic landscape that spans from reggae-infused jams to psychedelic rock odysseys, with frontman Trey Anastasio's virtuosic guitar work steering the ship.

Tracks like "Breath and Burning" and "Waking Up Dead" showcase Phish's ability to craft intricate compositions that ebb and flow with the tides of improvisation, while the album's standout moment, the sprawling epic "Petrichor," is a mesmerizing journey through a stormy sea of sound.

But for all its ambition, "Big Boat" occasionally feels like a ship adrift, lost in its own meandering currents. The folksy ballad "Miss You" and the cheesy pop of "I Always Wanted it this Way" veer dangerously close to novelty territory, threatening to capsize the album's momentum.

In the end, "Big Boat" is a mixed bag, with moments of pure brilliance floating among some choppy waters. For die-hard Phish fans, this album will surely be a treasure trove of musical exploration. But for those looking for a smoother sailing experience, best approach with caution. A musical odyssey that is as baffling as it is bold, "Big Boat" is a ride worth taking, even if the waters get a bit rough. ____
