"How. Have. They. Not. Played. Rikers. Mailbox. The. Song. Is. A. Banger."

"Sonically, their best album. And by far their best effort in the studio. Watch Mike’s documentary called “Tracking” and you can’t disagree. The guests and ancillary instruments are superb..... and that Melt jam from a live gig at the end of “Demand” brought their perfectionism in a live setting to this masterpiece. (If that melt didn’t make it on Hoist, it would’ve certainly graced next year’s “A Live One”)"

"I'm happy and sad to see Hoist as an archival release. On the bright side it brings back great, early memories of me just getting into the band. On the negative side, I purchased this app to enjoy live phish. Love, love, love Allison Krauss on If I Could, and Lifeboy is one of my favorite rarities. Really wish they'd play those songs more often. "

"If I could never see a studio on here again, this app would be better. Not that I'm not down with disease but I demand a better sample in the jar. Julius woundn't want his wolfman brother to have it any other way."

"I vote we never see another studio album on archival releases again! Waisted space. Not to say I don't like the studio stuff, I would rather hear something I definitely don't own."
