Album of the Day

Rift, by Phish (1993): There some artists from whom I have just one album, and while I like it quite a bit, I have no motivation to go out and get any of their other stuff. Rift is one such album. I actually picked this up in college and didn't really get into it for several years. Here in the last couple of years, however, it's really grown on me. Yet, I feel Phish phulphilled. Yes, they're good players, and yes, some of the tunes are great ("Rift," "My Friend, My Friend," "It's Ice" and "Silent in the Morning," in particular), but others seem like filler and the lyrics seem completely tossed off. Of course, maybe that's the point.
