A very well thought out review, thanks for posting.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I like "I Always Wanted It This Way." It feels like the first sonic departure Phish has taken in a while. A genuinely new sound that yet still manages to feel like Phish. It was great to see them take it deep last night and delve into the possibilities.

Bands that don't change and explore new territory stagnate and die. And while certain fans may complain the "new stuff" isn't as good, I'd rather Phish continue to push and explore than become a greatest hits act.
