4 out of 5 stars One of Phish's best studio CD's........2006-05-21

VERY ATMOSPHERIC, AND COHESIVE ALBUM.

You can get this with or without a bonus DVD. Save yourself a buck and get it without the bonus DVD. It is a 26 minute "making of" film. It offers no insights and is basically worthless.

This is probably Phish's last recording (but who knows). The CD is 51 minutes long and sound quality is good but muted.

I like this CD and other Phish CD's like Lawn Boy, where the music is cohesive and there is not a lot of silly, short junk thrown in. I am not a big fan of A Picture Of Nectar, or Farmhouse which jump all over the place and contain a bunch of worthless tracks.

This in not a jam CD or a CD of a bunch of long tracks, like Lawn Boy. But it is a very cohesive and interesting CD throughout.

The music here is a little more muted and atmospheric for Phish. It is more layered and intricate. And the song writing is very good. The kind of has a retro sound, almost like seventies progressive.

I almost gave it five stars, but it hits a slow patch in the middle with Nothing, Two Versions of Me and Access Me.

5 out of 5 stars The Last Phish.......2006-05-05

Phish is one of those bands that you either hate or love. For me that goes in cycles. I had not listened to a Phish album in quite sometime. Billy Breathes is still my favorite studio album. Recently I came across Undermined only because I saw it in Rolling Stone. I picked it up, what can I say, I love it. The songs are a reflection of where they come from and a glimpse into Phish's future which has abruptly ended. It would be nice to hear some these songs live. Like Scents and Subtle Sounds. Overall this is an album you can play over and over and enjoy it as much as the last time you played it. By far it is there best studio album to date. Whenever I play it always brings a smile to my face.

4 out of 5 stars Gone phishin'.......2004-09-01

This album is very poppy for Phish. Yet it still works. These guys are amazing musicians first and foremost - and this album proves they can play just about anything and pull it off. And convincingly at that. Several of the songs on this album are even air-ready for the radio, should Phish decide to take that route. Don't get me wrong - this still has elements from the Phish pond. The quirky lyrics are there, and there are some drawn out instrumentals. They are still Phish after all.

Though of course, Phish is broken up now, and they mean it. And this is their last album - and they mean it. No really, after this tour, they are not touring. Ever. Again.

For a discography as staggering in size as Phish's, it's easy for an album to get lost in the shuffle. I don't see that happening to this one. Highly recommended. Though, if you're looking for a regular Phish jam album, this ain't it.

4 out of 5 stars Good as usual, but not very Phishy.......2004-06-29

What astounded me most of this album is how unlike it is to every other Phish album. Concededly, it is good, but it is equivalent to the first album of some other band. Some of the tunes are reminiscent of great jams like Picture of Nectar or Lawn Boy, but the vast majority of tunes are (and there is no other way to say it) a lot like Pop. Not really what I expected from the Phab Phour.
Again, Undermind is a good solid album and a must have for every Phish enthusiast. Just don't act so surprised when it's not what you expected.
