Album Review - Round Room

Phish, Round Room, Elektra

Remember when the Residents did their Commercial Album, with 40 one-minute pop songs with a verse-chorus structure ? Well, this is kind of the opposite of that, a bunch of 10-minute pop songs that are cool for about three minutes. But Phish is a jam band, and you're not really supposed to like the studio albums anyway? Right? Put it another way - this is a Dave Matthews album for people too smart to like Dave Matthews. B
