Within the thirteen recordings that comprise Phish’s Big Boat, there is an excellent album that would accurately mirror the collective persona Phish has nurtured over three-decades (on and off) as well as the theme of mortality members of the band have referenced in some discussions of the record. As configured, however, the group vision is clouded with redundant tracks that, were they excised, would allow the seven remaining cuts to resonate with great clarity. This statement of purpose would be further reaffirmed with instrumental segments faded-in and out from the ornately-arranged opus of Trey Anastasio’s “Petrichor” (which, placed at the end of the record, seems like something of an afterthought at its full thirteen-minutes plus length).
