I have to agree with you on most points, or do I? But really in my opinion it is much as you explained and an enjoyable piece of art as I feel most phish studio albums are. Different then the live experience but still the music I love. @CooGorn @bertoletdown I believe steam would've substituted in nicely for "the line" or "winterqueen" and changed the albums feel for the better. Steam is begging for the layered Bob Ezrin treatment. Shame it didnt make the cut.
