Trey Anastasio (New Album)
Trey's website is finally live (www.treyanastasio.com), and the disc comes out on 4/30. You can listen to the entire disc right now on the site through streaming audio. I like it a lot. Heard about 6 songs, and it reminds me a lot of Farmhouse...mainly shorter, accessible songs. It sounds like it could reach people who weren't really into Phish as well as us fans.

Haven't listened to any of it yet but the word I'm hearing is pretty much what you said... Poppy and mainstream... Which is OK, Trey writes some nice melodic pop tunes...

^bump^
Did anyone else pick this disc up? I think it's damned good. Really creative pop songs...head and shoulders above the Oysterhead album (most disappointing album of 2001 in my opinion).

Snagged it last night but I've only listened to about 1/2 of it... Didn't care for Alive Again AT ALL and Cayman Review is just so-so... Push On Til The Day drifts waaaaaaaaay too much into that tired Phish build build build release groove... I did like the next four tracks however, they're quite good... I'll listen to the rest this evening...
It's a better disc, from what I've heard, than the Oysterhead release but there were several very solid tracks on that disc. Copeland's drum parts in particular were nice... Good to hear him playing straight up rock again. I take it you were never a Primus (or Les Claypool) fan?

Copeland's drum parts were the best thing about the Oysterhead album. I give all 3 credit for taking a chance though. I don't hate Primus...in fact, I kinda like 'em. Also I've got Live Frogs Vol. 1 and really like that. I find Les' personality to be way more annoying on Oysterhead than on anything by Primus or the Frog Brigade. It wasn't even that I was upset that Trey didn't play a larger role...the album just gets extremely irritating to me after 2 or 3 songs.

I would agree with most of what you said. "Alive Again" is pretty tired...not sure why it was the first single. "Push on Til the Day" sounds exactly like a Phish song...much more so than from Trey's live shows. I like it though, perhaps only for familiarity's sake. I really like most of the tracks though, particularly "Flock of Words", "Money Love & Change", and "Mr. Completely."

I don't really care much for Night Speaks to a Woman though. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the lyrics. There's also some weird production on Money Love & Change, but other than that I think it's a good album. I know it's got me excited for the tour.
