Some of the new(ish) songs are great! Some (Drift While You're Sleeping) are not!

When I first became a Phishhead, we were allowed to have our own opinions about Phish's music, and I believe that helped make Phish better over the years. The modern insistence that we must LIKE EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO or else we're not real fans, is a most bizarre fantasy. It's not just with Phish, it's music fandom in general. No pleas from uberfluffers will ever make Drift While You're Sleeping into a good song. This attitude is what makes any miniscule criticism of any aspect of a show get downvoted into oblivion and makes people not want to express opinions on this site any more. Stop trying to police fans' opinions and enjoy the show regardless of what people around you are doing. I never saw a tear slide down Trey's face during Petrichor. (Nor TTE, for that matter, which is a good song!)
