re: Sell me on Phish

Reading all the phish hype on here and worrying I might be missing out, I asked these bros the same question a few weeks ago. It's a complicated answer because apparently you have to listen to the live stuff to get it. If you don't get it after that, then you have to go to a show and really experience it to get it. If you still don't get it, then "sorry you don't get it lulz".

They have good jams, but you have to wade through some really cringeworthy vocals, lyrics, and songs to get there. The biggest standout to me was the tongue-in-cheek track "frick your face," an anthem about a boy and his uncooperative guitar that will literally make you embarrassed for them when he sing-talks about "gettin prrrruuutty pissed" and warning us that when he "gets mad, he gets red." Lol, oh no, watch out y'all, that pasty nerd is mad.

In conclusion, you'll probably find that Phish would be infinitely more listenable if they'd go on stage, use the mics to say hi and bye only, and just jam. And that goes for just about every jamband with "songs" ever.
