Rift

In my opinion the first few (I forget how many) Phish albums up to and including this one are the best. All are perhaps equally great, with different flavors and colors in the music. But when this one first came out it impressed me more than anything before it, and has done so more than anything since. It is almost a concept album, which is interesting, and it is as dark and cool in tone as its cover is in color. The songs flow together and reflect an intense attention to continuity on the part of the band. It's grown on me since its release, what's more. Not only my favorite Phish record, it stands among my favorite records of all time. I wish I had it on vinyl.

Read other reviews if you want a critic because I love this album! For me it's nostalgia with awesomely written music and thought provoking lyrics.

EPIC….Great Jam Band Studio Album…….why I love Phish…..

Rift is a master piece

This was the 1st phish album I ever bought.It's been game on ever since!!!!!!!! I heard itunes rated this album low. They have no IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any phish i'm able to get my hands on us a fantastic album but I found a special soft spot for this awsome album Keep on phishin

Not one of my favorite Phish albums, in fact probably my least favorite. Musically Rift sounds good but the vocals and lyrics are way off from other Phish albums. Yes I know it is a concept type album... but maybe that is the problem. If you're looking for a Phish album from this era check out Picture of Nector.

if you don't have this already get it as fast as you can

This is really all I can say about this album, that and ice. "It's Ice" is a great song by any measure, love the riffs, love the Rift...
