Phish Joy

u tools ... vermont????

ummmmm it was definitely not in vermont

fixed.

wilson is not at all about the volleyball from castaway

wilson was written well over ten years before cast away came out

writer is a moron

If you think Wilson is about a volleyball from a movie made more than 10 years after the song was written, you're a moron and you shouldn't be trusted for information. time for a new job.

please rewrite this article or just remove it from your website, this is awful

literally the worst review of an album i've ever read.

i'm a submarine

"Phish know not to bight the hacky sack-carrying hand that feeds them"

Bight? i'd suggest using spell check or proof reading before you put this up.

"Bight"? Really? Whether a fan of Phish or not, this review is terrible. It's written horribly and doesn't tell me anything about the music being reviewed.

this review is bloody sh1te

This review "bight's" the big one.

this is the biggest crock of crap i have ever read.

I was not aware that Prefix allows writers to spew and wrong information that they choose. Wilson is about the volleyball from Castaway, ya ok. This guy is an absolute moron. Stay away from Phish. I hope you get dosed.

Worst abstract ever. Please cancel this article. Writer is obviously very misinformed.

"bight" lol! So what year in high school is the author?

adam winistofer is the fool on the hill...pathetic sir.

wow...youre not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?

wilson was written in 1983, but good try. Maybe you should try some 'creative writing' or something. Information is certainly not your bag.

Dear Higher Power, Please banish this post from the Internet and from the memories of us who painfully read it. Thanks.

Bight??? Bight???

This review is a pathetic moron. Cast Away...WTF? Seriously, time to get a new job, son.

writer is a moran. i fixed the archives. do some fvcking research before publishing this drivel. shesmysister is a bot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamehendge

look at the section "Songs from Gamehendge", #4

"written while he attended Goddard College in 1987" derrrrr

You're welcome.

you should have both your hands cut off for writing this drivel

You're a stupid, stupid man. You obviously know VERY little about Phish, so in the future please refrain from critiquing an article that just reeks of stinky ass N00BISH CRAP. Stick to reviewing whatever trite, mundane albums you would normally listen to, and leave the Phish reviews to people who actually know what the hell they're writing about.

Thanks schmuck.

this is the absolute worst website, and your captchas are strait up mean.

bight?

yeah, I hope this really isn't music journalism going on here, terrible

yeah, the abstract has some errors, but wow the backlash from phish fans is nuts! Andross I commend you for covering the album at all, a lot of indie-centric blogs like to pretend that Phish doesn't exist, which is really quite stilted, considering the very independent rise that they had and the devoted following they have. Phish will be remembered fondly by critics and vanguard musicians in twenty years. Plus there's the following quote to shake up perceptions of their influences and aesthetic:
"Loveless is the best album recorded in the 90s" -- Trey Anastasio

To review Writer:
Wilson is not a volleyball, he's the King of Prussia!
Please try again!

Dear Andrew Winistorfer,
Kindly bight my hacky sack.
Regards,
Wilson
aka. The King of Prussia

Perhaps the facts were not clear to him because of all the "Foam" ??

Mr. Winistorfer, sir, you are an idiot. Aside from an anemic review lacking in any informative opinions regarding the actual music on the album, you say Phish wrote 'Wilson' about the volleyball in Castaway? Do some f--king research asswipe. Wilson is a song about a man who takes over a land and it's people. You could have figured that out by just listening to the lyrics of the song once. And like everyone else said in response to this ridiculous barely informative album review, ever heard of spell check? bight? Sheesh.

Joy sould be labeled Undermind Pt. 2- and it is just as bad and awfully produced as the past 3 albums. Good lord just reture and go away. you were the best band on the planet, and it's obvious drugs had a lot to do with that.

Journalist is a ******* Wilson is not a volleyball. Cash your writing paycheck and buy a clue. Review SUCKS!!!

~p

"backlash from phish fans is nuts" you mean backlash from people who aren't self indulgent hipsters in neon plaid flannels

wilson: though i'm a phan learn to spell when representing the phamily. and theinternets comment is deep

Got this article in my head where a blank space in my mind should be....

This is pathetic!! Obviously this nerd doesn't know what's UP!!!

Dear article writer,
You forgot to mention Tweezer is about plucking your eyebrows, Roggae is a tribute to bob marley, and Reba is about the country singer. Oh, and Phish wrote Wilson 10 years before the movie. However, Tom Hanks had a premonition (sp?) in 1987 he would do a movie about a volleyball named Wilson and drove to Vermont to have Phish write the theme song. I don't even want to tell you what Down with Disease is about...it would blow your mind.....

I'm not a violent man, but this review makes me want to do very bad things.

I'm with OJ - and Nicculus - you're a clever dude/dudette.....this reviewer couldn't be more ignorant. The album is one of the most brilliant studio recordings phish has ever done......can we say douche bag in a review?

I've been insulted by your ignorance. Cast Away? Come on dude, Don't make up your own facts dude, it just makes you look like an idiot

Ha, look at the phans up in arms. How bout someone give their opinion of the album? It is really hard to judge the songs before seeing them live, although I went back and youtubed some of the songs that I heard last summer and used that time to get a beer and take a piss since I didn't recongnize the music. I give it an 5 out of 10. I could listen to any track twice in a row, but there isn't a standout track that I can't get enough of. Hopefully that will change once a few more live versions get on my itunes.
At least the reviewer knew that a song names "wilson" was a phish staple...haha
